I hope we've all realized at this point that Gaga was a last resort for the NFL.

Receipts?

so how much did the FWT gross now that it's over?

[Sazare]

A Shakira Super Bowl would actually work really well tbh. She has just enough known hits to cover the runtime and they're all pretty well-suited to that format.

And she also already has a song with Beyoncé to shoehorn that now seemingly requisite cameo

I don't see NFL doing another pop girl right after GaGa

Joanne is filling the dad rock band spot this year

What a dumb theory. Adele is one of the only artists who would ever turn down the Super Bowl, in part because she already sells tons of albums without it.

Adele turned them down and Taylor Swift was not an option. That makes Gaga third choice. They obviously see something in her. Talent, maybe?

You think they're thrilled to be hosting the Joanne Bowl?

This is one of the biggest European hits of all time.

Are you thinking of this?

Wow this is MUCH better than I thought it would be. I thought all his music was boring crap like Holocene.

If you liked this then you'll probably like the rest of the album as well.
It's all really nice folktronica with distorted vocals and some live instrumentation mixed in.

What a dumb theory. You don't work for the NFL so why should I listen to you? Also Gaga is no one's first choice in 2016.

They obviously picked her because they think she can draw ratings. They're not going to pick somebody irrelevant because then they'd lose viewers to stuff airing on other networks.

Shakira would work really well with a lot of guests. Whenever Wherever, Hips Don't Lie, Underneath Your Clothes, Waka Waka plus two guest tracks with old rock legends.

And you don't have any inside tea on the NFL's decision-making, so you can ship your "20 artists turned it down before Gaga could get it!" ******** all the way back to your swamp rat fave's homeland.

What if Gaga does a Joanne medley at the SB?

It's the Super Bowl It's the only new thing airing that day, every other network does re runs

What a dumb comment

Other TV networks don't go black when the Super Bowl starts. They air things for the minority of people who aren't interested in football.

The whole trend of booking pop stars for the Super Bowl started when the network airing it lost a HUGE chunk of ratings to an In Living Color special on another network during halftime.

And the halftime isn't what people watch the Super Bowl for, so they have to get someone who will keep the ratings going during that break.

Gaga was picked based on merit. She did the national anthem as an audition for the halftime show. They probably told her "If you nail this one, you'll get the show". They were probably willing to dump her only for Adele, no one else.
