She also raved about her Super Bowl 50 experience and described it as “really incredible”.
According to Google Trends data released Monday, musical guests held their own with star quarterbacks Peyton Manning and Cam Newton as game-watchers took to the Internet.
As well as the Super Bowl crowd, social media erupted into applause. Say what you like about Lady Gaga, but there’s no doing the girl got pipes!
Following her flawless rendition of the US National Anthem the 29-year-old was clearly in a hyped up mood and was filmed crawling around on all fours as she barked and cuddled her canine pals.
For the first half, Manning and Newton battled for the most-searched name.
Taking to the green inside Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, the pop goddess stood out a mile in a patriotic red suit, with platform boots that paid tribute to the national flag. Incredible performance at the Super Bowl!
But one of the best? Levi’s Stadium – as well as the world – roared with cheers.
In the middle of the performance, a single tear could be seen rolling down her face but as Gaga is the consummate pro, she managed to effortlessly wipe it away and power through. And she clearly has a love of her country.
At one point, newbie Oscars producers David Hill and Reginald Hudlin took to the stage to share a few words and Hill gave a shout out to the singer. Every year, fan anticipation is high for the next round of musicians who look to sing the Super Bowl national anthem and Super Bowl halftime show. That said, the “ARTPOP” singer can hit and hold notes, and if nothing else, she knows how to milk a spotlight. “I just thought about the lyrics and what they really mean”, Gaga told Extra.
