Lady Gaga is in talks to perform at the Super Bowl Halftime show, Billboard reports exclusively. A source told the magazine that one of the reasons Gaga is a strong contender for the honor is her performance of the national anthem at this year's game, which drew universal praise.
"We have had conversations with several fantastic artists about the Pepsi Super Bowl Halftime Show. However, at this point we do not have a final decision," an NFL rep said when asked about Gaga. "We're happy there is so much excitement about the show."
