Adele may not be performing at the Super Bowl Halftime Show in February, but another international superstar will be taking the stage instead: Lady Gaga just revealed that she’ll be headlining the performance.

Gaga, who many had speculated would be performing on the NFL’s biggest night, made the announcement on Twitter on Thursday night, confirming to her Little Monsters that “The rumors are true.”

“Can’t wait. Let’s do this!” the NFL wrote in reply to the singer’s Tweet. It later posted a video mashing up excited players’ touchdown dances and sideline cheers with Gaga’s “Perfect Illusion” video.
Gaga previously performed at the Super Bowl just this year, where she sang the National Anthem before the big game. Music isn’t the only way the singer has been taking over our televisions, thanks to her Golden Globe-winning performance on “American Horror Story,” which she starred on during last year’s “Hotel” season. She’s also appearing on the current “Roanoke” season, too.
The Super Bowl will take place in Houston on Sunday, February 5, 2017. See you there, Little Monsters.
