The singer has been putting the finishes touches to her show at the NRG Stadium in Houston on Sunday (February 5).

Gaga continued: “I will say it’s a tremendously athletic show, and it’s something we really talked about when creating the halftime experience.

“I mentioned that I thought it was important for us to consider, you know, high adrenaline.”

Gaga had already appeared at last year’s Super Bowl, when she sang the National Anthem before Denver Broncos’ 24-10 win over Carolina Panthers.

Gaga was very vocal in her support of Trump’s opponent Hilary Clinton – making an appearance to speak and perform at her final rally, while also drawing criticism for those who confused her outfit with that of a Nazi. She was also among the musicians who responded to Donald Trump’s victory negatively – tweeting ‘say a prayer America’ when she heard the result, before making headlines by protesting against the new US President.

Meanwhile, Gaga also recently shared a Tweet that said a world tour was booked and dates would be revealed following her Super Bowl performance.

She’s also rumoured to be appearing at Glastonbury. When NME asked her about said rumours, she refused to deny them when she replied: “Glaaaastonbury! I don’t have permission to say anything about that” – with her tight-lipped response suggesting that she is sworn to secrecy until an announcement.
