Lady Gaga performed the national anthem at Super Bowl 50 in Santa Clara, California, on Sunday, kicking off the matchup between the Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos.
The Grammy-winning singer and American Horror Story: Hotel star kept it simple with a traditional arrangement of “The Star-Spangled Banner,” drawing loud applause from the crowd.
The six-time Grammy Award winner sang the anthem just under the time of 2:20 set by oddsmakers in one of Sunday's more memorable Super Bowl prop bets. However, some books are measuring it differently, meaning a few are paying the over. Here's why .
In addition to signing the national anthem on Sunday, Lady Gaga in 2016 won a Golden Globe Award for best performance by an actress in a miniseries or television film for her role in American Horror Story: Hotel. This year she is also nominated for another Grammy, for best song written for visual media, and for an Academy Award for best song, both for Til It Happens To You from the documentary film The Hunting Ground.
Rocking a bright red suit, blue nails, and American flag-themed platform shoes, she brought major patriotism to Levi’s Stadium.
Sunday also marked the third time actress Marlee Matlin performed the anthem in American sign language, having also done so before Super Bowl XVII alongside Garth Brooks and again before Super Bowl XLI alongside Billy Joel.
