Lady Gaga at Super Bowl 2017 Halftime Show? NFL Says No Final Decision Made
Reports circulated Sunday that Lady Gaga would be headlining the show.
The National Football League said it has made no final decision on who will headline the 2017 Super Bowl halftime show despite a report published in US Weekly that cited an anonymous source as saying that Lady Gaga would headline the show.
Natalie Ravitz, senior vice president of communications for the NFL, tweeted that the publication ignored her on-the-record response. Ravitz said that while the league has had conversations with several fantastic artists about the halftime show, there has been no final decision.
