Lady Gaga has already made history with her Super Bowl halftime performance, even though it wont happen until early Sunday evening at the midway point between the Atlanta Falcons/New England Patriots NFL championship game in Houston.
She is the first halftime show performer to receive an admonition from the National Rifle Association about what she should or, rather, should not do during her Super Bowl performance.
Speaking on NRA TV, conservative political commentator Bill Whittle strongly implored Gaga to leave any political statements out of her 13-minute Sunday performance at Houstons NRG Stadium.
Whittle began by taking a shot at the NFL for picking Gaga just a year after Beyoncé fueled criticism from conservative corners for her 2016 Super Bowl halftime show performance. It featured the live debut of her overtly political song Formation, which found her and her dancers wearing quasi-military outfits inspired by the Black Panthers.

(170 posts)what she says or how she performs. The right will be attacking her tomorrow.
Poor little trumpatinas weren't able to get Billy Bob and the Butt Lickers to perform.

(182,947 posts)My first impression of her ("Pokerface" was way off. Not normally my kind of music but she gets you moving and can build a wall of sound.

(11,803 posts)I really can't stand her music, but I'll be watching in anticipation. I'm expecting a very strong statement from a very strong woman.

Wouldn't it be ironic if Gaga was intending to not politicize her performance until this...
Can't wait to see what she does..

(34,185 posts)If Gaga doesn't speak out, they claim a win and are interviewed by Fox News.
If she does, they get interviewed by CNN about the "war between our pop culture people and the actual citizens."

'They do, huh?'
"Yeah, and they were pretty emphatic about it."
