Gaga X Britney: The battle for the SB halftime show
Quote:
Are Britney Spears and Lady Gaga battling it out for the coveted Super Bowl LI halftime slot?
According to reports, while Lady Gaga’s name appears to be the front-runner to perform at Super Bowl 51, sources are claiming that she’s facing stiff competition from Britney Spears.
New speculation is claiming that Spears is allegedly one of the artists in the running for the big halftime performance slot, and could potentially battle it out with Lady Gaga to land the prestigious gig when the Super Bowl hits Houston, Texas, on February 5 2017.
Despite recent reports alleging that Gaga has the halftime show on lockdown, a Popjustice contributor who goes by the username Goldsoundz is now claiming that Spears could be putting up some stiff competition for Super Bowl 51.
“I’m trying to keep quiet, but Britney and [her] team are in the middle of a big negotiation for a huge event,” the source claimed, before appearing to suggest the “huge event” in question is Super Bowl 51 by claiming that Spears “has competition” from other artists.
“[Britney] has competition,” he continued, potentially alluding to Lady Gaga, “but she deserves the gig.”
While the site claimed that Gaga’s involvement was a done deal, according to Vulture, the NFL’s senior vice-president of communications Natalie Ravitz then denied the report on social media just days before Spears’ name was once again thrown into the mix.
