I live in Houston and got to work on the halftime show as one of the people who helps put together the stage. All of those people in the crowd on the field were dance students from local high schools. We ran the show over 10 times with Gaga during rehearsals the week before the actual show and not once did she ever hug one of those girls in the crowd. It was totally impromptu and that’s why the girl was shaking and got so emotional because she didn’t know it was coming. Here’s an interview a local news station did with the girl and she says the same exact thing, “The hug, however, was never part of the routine, according to Bellini.” https://www.click2houston.com/entertainment/2017/02/06/meet-the-girl-who-hugged-lady-gaga/?outputType=amp She kept a good atmosphere by avoiding jealousy on "the one who would get hugged by gaga" among the students.

I was assuming the contest winners were the people in the crowd but I guess they just got to watch the show from farther back TIL Here's a video of some fans who won the contest if anyone's curious Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any behind the scenes secrets you can share? For example, in her documentary we see her wearing a cape / dress thing (don't know the correct English word sorry) when she walks towards the piano.

Well, this was during the Trump era and the woman didn’t appear to be white. So i have always heard that when she hugged her as she sang, “why won’t you stay” had political undertones.

There was the beautiful long metallic fringe train that Natali made that they would attach to her waist and that would flow down the stairs behind her at the piano but they scrapped it about halfway through the week of rehearsals leading up to the super bowl because it was getting in her way and slowing down her walk and didn’t give her enough time to change and get back to the main stage for Bad Romance.
