Lady Gaga at the Super Bowl: No Controversy, Lots of Glitter -<br />Lady Gaga went for one big, glittering, diverse party with her Super Bowl halftime show.<br />“You’re black, white, beige, chola descent/You’re Lebanese, you’re orient,” she sang,<br />and later, “No matter gay, straight, or bi/Lesbian, transgendered life/I’m on the right track baby/I was born to survive.” It was doubtless the first time the word “transgendered” had been sung at a Super Bowl halftime show.<br />It was a megamix of her songs spanning her career, from her 2008 debut single, “Just Dance,” to “Million Reasons,” the power ballad from her 2016 album, “Joanne.” She sang “Million Reasons” from a piano as people waving orange electric torches made patterns<br />that radiated across the football field; that was her relatively still point in a fiercely athletic performance.<br />Wearing a shiny, silvery, big-shouldered sci-fi bodysuit<br />and matching high-heeled boots, with a glittery mask painted around her eyes, Lady Gaga was lowered through the air, on suspension cables, into NRG Stadium in Houston, showing off a trapeze-like flip.
