Lady Gaga, the singer, will indeed headline the Super Bowl halftime thing next February

The rumours that most people assumed to be true anyway are indeed true; Lady Gaga will headline the — wait for it — Pepsi Zero Sugar Super Bowl LI Halftime Show at the NRG Stadium in Houston on Sunday February 5 2017.

Here's a video of the 'Perfect Illusion' hitmaker popping a tweet online to announce it all:

And here is said tweet:

It's not an illusion. The rumors are true. This year the SUPER BOWL goes GAGA! @nfl @FOXTV @pepsi #PERFECTILLUSION #GAGASUPERBOWL pic.twitter.com/qR4O57451G
