In February, Gaga performed the national anthem ahead of Super Bowl 50. She joins an illustrious list of Super Bowl halftime performers in recent years including Beyoncé, Coldplay, Katy Perry, and Bruno Mars.
Gaga is gearing up to release her fifth solo album Joanne on Oct. 21. Named after her late aunt, the project features the Mark Ronson-produced single “Perfect Illusion,” plus a collaboration with Florence Welch.
