Where does Lady Gaga’s Super Bowl 51 performance rank among the past ones?

The Super Bowl 51 halftime performance would see Lady Gaga perform in front of an NRG Stadium crowd. She had been confirmed for this for the past few months, and finally took to the stage on Sunday night after speculation on what she might do during her performance.

The opening moments of the act would see Gaga standing on top of NRG Stadium, opening with a few of patriotic songs. She would be harnessed and jumped down to the stage area at midfield to continue. Gaga sang most of her popular songs and went through a handful of wardrobe changes throughout.

Gaga put on an entertaining performance with no noticeable mishaps. She used drones for the stars in the beginning of this and had all different lights and different parts of the stage working while she performed. It came off as unique since no one had went as high up in the air as she did.

For a comparison to past Super Bowl halftime acts, this didn’t provide any controversial moments like with Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake, which is a positive. Someone like Beyonce also captivates the audience more with her singing and dancing.

However, this performance from Gaga was incredible with her acrobatics, dancing, and wide-ranging songs she used that never took the energy out of the act. She put on the eye-popped display that people will look for with Super Bowl halftime acts, which will make this a memorable one. It was solid all the way around, as Gaga lived up to the hype she built for herself and met expectations.
