Gaga Half-Time Show 2.0

I genuinely think Gaga has another SBHTS in her and that it’s possible she’ll be offered it again one day. 

I don’t believe for one second that she’d want to ‘redo’ what she’s already done but I think there’s real scope to do a very different show the second time round, which is what I think she’d be attracted to. 

Given her first show was 100% solo, I could see her (and the NFL/Apple Music) going in the completely opposite direction and doing a show filled with guests but headlined by Gaga. Kind of like a “Lady Gaga & friends” set up. 

The set list could include a combination of any of the following songs, in no particular order: 

Telephone ft. Beyonce 

Shallow ft. Bradley Cooper 

Die With A Smile ft. Bruno Mars  

We Will Rock You / Yoü and I / Radio Gaga ft. Adam Lambert and Queen

Express Yourself / Born This Way ft. Madonna  

Rain On Me ft. Ariana Grande

Abracadabra ft. Gesaffelstein

Your Song ft. Elton John 

Maybe even the rumoured new song with The Weeknd  

I think there'd be a reason for Gaga to do this (in her own mind) because she'd be able to experience a collaborative take on the half time show, which she didn't before. 

What do we think?

Gaga could easily do another halftime show. She's come such a long way from 2017 which sounds strange saying that, but it's true.

Her discography is still filled with commercial hits, fan favourites, European singles, tiktok gems and such.

Applause, Alejandro, Abracadabra, Paparazzi, Judas, Bloody Mary, Marry the Night, Disease, Always Remember Us, Shallow, like I could still go on.

If we're being objective though, songs like Judas, Bloody Mary, Marry The Night and Disease are not sizeable enough hits for the SBHTS stage. This is why I think her teaming up with other artists is what the NFL/Apple Music would be more interested in because it would make the show more appealing to a wider demographic.

I'd love this! I made some sort of a concept (yes I know it's way too long dddd) when we were talking about this on another forum. It'd be a complete gag.

1. Killah / Abracadabra with Gesaffelstein
2. Marry The Night with Adam Lambert, Kylie Minogue & The Weeknd (shortened)
3. Rumoured new song with The Weeknd (shortened)
4. Your Song (includes elements of Sine From Above) with Elton John (shortened)
5. Sour Candy with BLACKPINK (shortened)
6. We Will Rock You / Yoü and I / Radio Gaga with Adam Lambert and Queen
7. Shallow with Bradley Cooper (shortened) / Die With A Smile with Bruno Mars (shortened)
8. Rain on Me with Ariana Grande
9. Express Yourself / Born This Way / Vogue / Babylon / Break My Soul / yes, and? with Ariana Grande, Madonna and Beyoncé (a DREAM!)
10. Telephone with Beyoncé

Remember that many artists do include some deep cuts during their halftime shows, not just all commercial hits.

Both "Judas" and "Bloody Mary" are most definitely sizeable hits. Tiktok, and Wednesday brought them into the 2020s era.

I know it would need to be hits or a new single around that time,
but I think opening with Garden of Eden and using that intro from TMB with the green smoke and the "So hit the lights" group chanting over the orchestral strings would be a great way to open

Divine

Telephone ft. Beyonce 

This will be iconic if this happened in Half-Time Show tbh. :sis:

They need to perform it live together in this life time.

I can’t die without them seeing perform it at least once.

I do think there were plans made for it to happen at Gaga’s 2017 set but they were subsequently cancelled because of Beyonce’s twins.

DESTROY UR DISEASE

Here's what I came up with without using songs that she already performed in 2017

1. Always Remember Us This Way
2. Applause (the stripped down beginning so it nicely transitions from ARUTW, the chorus is studio version)
3. Paparazzi (a bit sped up, like Just Dance at TMB, so it matches the tempo of Applause, then it slowly decreases as the songs goes til it reaches the bridge when it transitions to Judas)
4. Judas
5. Abracadabra
6. Bloody Mary/Alejandro (uses the operatic singing from Abracadabra's bridge to transition into Bloody Mary)
7. Die With a Smile/Shallow (performed at the piano)
8. Rain On Me
9. The Edge Of Glory

I can smell your sickness I can...

She has the catalogue to do a brand new show with no previous hits but honestly I'm not crazy about it, doesn't seem like it'd happen this soon.

She could do Bloody Mary / Abracadabra intro, Paparazzi/Alejandro, Rain On Me, Shallow/Die With A Smile and finish with The Edge of Glory and Vanish Into You.

I can see this maybe in another 10 years when she's had a few more albums too.

That would be and historical feat

Shed have:

Abracadabra

Shallow

Bloody Mary?  Always Remember US?

Alejandro could be a possibility.

A Billie Joe cover eheh its time She does one

It won't be a solo show this time. She could bring some famous Singer for shallow duet. Or Shell have a feat by then.

Die with a smile Is already burned. And Bruno already performed twice, thats not happening. 

Honestly i think Gaga right now can totally score a new hit, She regained huge momentum and found herself a strong team. She still has the media backing her up and the public Is on her side. If She gets another Song that clicks tò substitute the void of dwas, She could do this with no problem at all
