2017 Super Bowl LI Halftime Show Began With Lady Gaga's Subtle Protest [Watch Full Video Here]
Lady Gaga's Super Bowl LI Halftime show performance was not all drones and fireworks as the Grammy winner was able to sneak in a brief but meaningful message of inclusion during her performance. The "Million Reasons" singer sang a medley of her chart topping songs to entertain the crowd at Houston's NRG Stadium and the millions watching on their TV screens.
The 2017 Super Bowl 51 Halftime show is as good as it gets. Lady Gaga performed her hit song in front of a roaring NRG stadium crowd. The "Bad Romance" singer also danced her heart out when she joined the choreography for her more upbeat songs.
Though the 2017 Super Bowl LI Lady Gaga Halftime show was filled with flashing lights from the drones that hovered atop the NRG stadium and the fireworks display, the best moment of Lady Gaga's Super Bowl 2017 Halftime show did not feature the fireworks and well-choreographed moves.
Lady Gaga started her Pepsi Zero Sugar Super Bowl LI Halftime show with a few lines from the song "God Bless America." The Grammy winner then quickly transitioned into Woody Guthrie's "This Land Is Your Land." The 1944 Guthrie song has been used by many protesters who are against the travel ban that was recently imposed by US President Donald Trump.
The drones hovering at the back of Lady Gaga formed what seemed to be the American Flag while she recites a few words from the US pledge of allegiance. "One Nation, under God," uttered the Grammy winner while pointing her finger on top of the sky, "indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
The message at the beginning of Lady Gaga's Pepsi Zero Sugar Super Bowl LI Halftime show was one of inclusion. Though it only comprised one minute of the 14 minute performance, the brief yet subtle message has been clearly received.
