The Secret Of Lady Gaga's Super Bowl LI Roof Jump Revealed

Lady Gaga’s performance at halftime of Super Bowl LI technically started with her singing from the roof of NRG Stadium in Houston with hundreds of drones forming an American flag in the background. But the real show started when she appeared to jump off the roof and into the stadium.

Oh and by the way, it was the second-most watched halftime show ever:
