Lady Gaga’s ‘Very Stupid Decision’ She Made During Her Super Bowl Halftime Performance
With Super Bowl LVI just around the corner, Lady Gaga joined Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Monday, where she talked about performing in the Super Bowl LI halftime show.
Super Bowl LI is known to be the biggest comeback in Super Bowl history, as the New England Patriots came back after losing 28-3 to beat the Atlanta Falcons in overtime. Patriots receiver Julian Edelman also had one of the most spectacular catches of all time at a key moment in the game. But it was Lady Gaga’s “dumb decision” to do a take as part of her performance that she wanted to talk about.
“Playing the Super Bowl is a huge honor, and I remember — and I got the phone call to play the show, I just cried. I just cried and ran to my room,” Gaga said. “And then I don’t know why I made a very stupid decision deciding to try and catch a touchdown at the end.”
Gaga’s high-flying performance went off without a hitch, but her decision to catch a soccer ball didn’t look like a winner in rehearsals.
“I wanted to walk in and out of the performance because I thought it was compositionally interesting,” Gaga said. “So I was super excited to catch that ball, but four out of five times we practiced it, I didn’t get it.”
Gaga said everyone on her team wanted to be the ones throwing the ball to her during the performance, but since rehearsals weren’t going so well, at least as far as that particular part of the show was concerned, she insisted. to have a real quarterback. to her, and it worked! Gaga caught the ball and she wanted to make sure everyone knew about it.
“It was funny because I – nobody could see, but I landed in this giant foam pit, like you’d see in a gym or something,” Gaga said. “And I landed in the pit and I said, ‘Did I catch it?’ I caught it! I caught it! Did they get it? Did they film it? Have people seen it?
Although it was far from the most consequential take made that night in Houston, Gaga was well aware of what was at stake.
“Have you ever thought, like, ‘If I miss, if this ball bounces off my head, everybody’s gonna laugh at me for a long time?'” Kimmel asked. “Oh, I knew the title would be, you know, ‘Patriots win and Lady Gaga loses,'” Gaga said. “Like, ‘Stick to singing, honey.'”
