Lady Gaga confirms she’ll headline the 2017 Super Bowl halftime show

Lady Gaga, whose new album is due out at the end of October, will have a huge platform for that new material: She’ll be headlining the Super Bowl halftime show next year. The pop star announced she’d be performing during the portion of the football game for people indifferent to sports on Twitter. Us Weekly actually had this news earlier this month, but the NFL shot down their report saying a “final decision” had not yet been made. Well, turns out Gaga did indeed get the gig.
