On Sunday at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas, Lady Gaga will take the stage during what is considered one of the biggest events on television. After performing the national anthem at last year’s Super Bowl, Gaga was invited back for this year’s big game to perform during the halftime show.
Known for her extravagant performances, the “A-YO” singer reportedly has big plans for the 2017 show but details about her performance are being kept under wraps. Before Gaga takes the stage on Feb. 5, check out a few things that could happen during the Super Bowl 51 show:
1. Gaga wants to perform from the roof. According to a report from Page Six, Gaga wants to take her show from the field to the skies. The publication reports the “Perfect Illusion” singer wants to sing from the top of NRG Stadium. While Gaga’s team is worried about the stunt, the singer is said to be “all for it” and is “pushing to do it.”

Should Gaga and her team go along with the stunt, plans include “cutting a hole in the ceiling of the dome” or “airlifting” her on top of the stadium. With a performance this unique, figures behind the scenes are “trying to figure out insurance” which is proving to be “crazy.”
2. She is free to get political. Never one to bite her tongue, Lady Gaga has free reign to deliver a political message during the halftime show, contrary to prior reports. According to Entertainment Tonight, the NFL had banned Gaga from getting political but a league rep called the claims “nonsense.” The rep added, “Lady Gaga is focused on putting together an amazing show for fans and we love working with her on it; we aren’t going to be distracted by this.”
3. Tony Bennett will join her. Tony Bennett is no stranger to working with Lady Gaga — the two have recorded an album together and performed live — so having Bennet perform with the pop star isn’t hard to imagine. According to Pepsi, who is in charge of the halftime show, Bennett will be featured in a 10-second video which will lead into Gaga’s performance. It’s uncertain what Bennett will say or if he will make a surprise appearance on stage.
4. The setlist will include “Bad Romance.” Although a setlist for Lady Gaga’s Super Bowl 2017 halftime show performance hasn’t been revealed, based on behind-the-scenes videos, it seems like “A-Yo,” “Bad Romance” and “Perfect Illusion” will be part of the show.
