For weeks leading up to Super Bowl 51, speculation on the Internet swirled wildly regarding what Lady Gaga would do for her halftime performance. The speculation didn’t stop at what songs she would perform and how big of a show she would put on, but also if she would say anything about Donald Trump.
Lady Gaga is a well-known Leftist. Her shows includes plenty of political commentary. She is also a known Hillary supporter, having performed at several of her campaign rallies during the election. She’s also worked with former VP Joe Biden on his ‘It’s Up to Us’ campaign to end sexual assault on college campuses.
