It’s a big day for Lady Gaga as two big announcements were made today. The NFL and The Grammys made the announcement of her participation in two high profile events.
If you’re a fan of Lady Gaga you might not normally watch football, but you’ll want to watch Super Bowl 50 as she will be performing the National Anthem. She joins the list of already announced performers that include Coldplay and Beyoncé during the Pepsi halftime show. Other performers they may make appearances include Taylor Swift, Rhianna, Bruno Mars, and Adele.
Lady Gaga will also be performing at the Grammy awards where she will be paying tribute to David Bowie in a special performance that will last six to seven minutes spanning three to four songs.
Ken Ehrlich producer for The Grammys, says it will be a tribute to the true Bowie. “….is going to be a true homage to who David was, particularly musically, but not ignoring his influence on fashion and pop culture in a broader way.”
Prior to Bowie’s death Lady Gaga told The Hollywood Reporter about her admiration for the rocker. “When I fell in love with David Bowie, when I was living on the Lower East Side, I always felt that his glamour was something he was using to express a message to people that was very healing for their souls.”
In addition to these two big events Gaga is looking toward the Academy Awards where she is nominated for her work on the original song “Til It Happens To You”. She also earlier this year was a winner of a Golden Globe for her role in “American Horror Story: Hotel”.
