"At Super Bowl 50, CBS wanted an emergency backing Track. Gaga refused"

[Monsterious 26,867]

The most experienced coach at the Super Bowl on Feb. 5 won’t be worrying about his team’s passing game. He will be making sure his star student hits her high notes.

 Last year, when she belted out a blistering rendition of the national anthem at Super Bowl 50, CBS wanted an emergency backing track just in case. Gaga refused, 

For Sunday’s Super Bowl, Mr. Lawrence will work with Gaga for six days—from Tuesday until showtime.

Talent doesnt need backing tracks

[Swan Heart 7,382]

Not worried about Gaga's vocals at all, she's been getting better and better with every step for quite a few years now.

"Why do you love Lady Gaga so much?"

This is one of the many reasons why.

it took me a while to understand that this means she will be live

for some reason I thought they wanted her to have an extra song to perform in case something happened (wtf is wrong with me )

By no backing track what do they mean? No recorded vocals at all, just live? Or live vocals with backing studio vocals (like Gaga's tours)
