Images: Lady Gaga drops into Super Bowl 51
Lady Gaga highlighted the halftime entertainment Sunday by dropping from the roof of NRG Stadium in Houston at NFL Super Bowl 51.
Earlier, the coin toss was assisted by former President George H.W. Bush and his wife, Barbara, after both were recently released from the hospital.
The national anthem was sung by country music artist Luke Bryan. Singers from the original New York cast of “Hamilton” — Phillipa Soo, Rene Elise Goldsberry and Jasmine Cephas Jones — performed “God Bless America,”
But it was the dazzling performance by Lady Gaga that electrified the stadium with the use of drones, fireworks, and amazing aerial acrobatics.
