Lady Gaga To Pay Homage To Pittsburgh Icon In Super Bowl Commercial
One of the world's most popular entertainers will salute one of Pittsburgh's most noteworthy people ever in a Super Bowl LX commercial.
PITTSBURGH, PA — Super Bowl LX on Feb. 8 won't just feature the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots battle for the NFL championship. Nor will it just feature game opening act Green Day and halftime performer Bad Bunny.
It also will feature Grammy Award-winning singer and actress Lady Gaga playing tribute to a Pittsburgh legend in one of the game's commercials.
Redfin and Rocket Mortgage recruited Lady Gaga to cover "Won't You Be My Neighbor," which of course was the theme to the immortal children's program "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood." The show, starring the late Fred Rogers, ran for 912 episodes on PBS before ending its run in 2001.
