Lady Gaga thinks her over-the-top performances helped to secure her the Super Bowl half-time show.
The 30-year-old singer is set to star at the annual sporting occasion at
the NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas, on Sunday (05.02.17) and has
promised to put on a performance to remember in front of a huge global
TV audience.
She said: "There's a lengthy process to go through, meeting with the NFL
and sort of applying and discussing what you would do in the first
place.
"I think that part of how they decide who is going to come and do the
halftime show is based on our ideas and what we want to do. They were
really excited about the show we wanted to put on.
"They've been super-supportive. They've been there every day at the
rehearsal space with us and cheering me on as I rehearse. It's been
great."
Gaga has remained tight-lipped about the show she intends to put on, but
rumours have been circulating for weeks that the Grammy-winning star
was set to perform a high-flying stunt during the half-time show.
And Gaga has now revealed the idea originally came from her younger sister, Natali Germanotta.
The 'Million Reasons' hitmaker told Boston's Mix 104.1 radio show 'Karson & Kennedy': "It was my sister.
"My sister was like, 'I know, let's suspend you in the air!'"
Meanwhile, Gaga is reportedly set to announce her world tour the day after her Super Bowl half-time show.
Gaga - whose real name is Stefani Germanotta - has toured six times
before and has previously told fans they can expect more extravagant
shows the next time she takes to the road.
She said back in October 2016: "What I would say to those who are
terrified that I'll never again embrace absurdity or the avant-garde is
'think again' because that is my favourite thing."
