We'll be perfectly and completely honest with you all: we only watched the Super Bowl for Lady Gaga's highly anticipated halftime show performance. 
Sure, the New England Patriots and the Atlanta Falcons played some sports, and the commercials were comedic (or whatever), but what we were really here for was seeing the now legendary popstar and passionate, longtime LGBT activist make a big, powerful statement with her halftime set. And, to put it mildly, she did NOT disappoint. 
Watch Gaga's full, epic halftime show performance in the video below.

Lady Gaga Mayhem album photo shoot

During a moment of celebration at The Grammy Awards mere weeks ahead of the release of her opus album, Mayhem, Lady Gaga delivered a clarion call for the rights of trans and queer people to exist.
“Trans people are not invisible. Trans people deserve love. The queer community deserves to be lifted up. Music is love," she declared while she and Bruno Mars accepted the Grammy for Best Pop Duo/Group for “Die With a Smile,’ a single from Mayhem that dropped last fall.

Remember, remember, the fifth of November, my dears, and the fateful November 5 election has finally fallen upon us at last. 
Whether we're about to head in for a riot or a revolution is as yet undetermined, but all parties are making their final cases in the last hours of the voting window in hopes of their candidate becoming the next President of the United States.

Lady Gaga fans are fuming after early screenings of Joker: Folie à Deux suggest a number of her scenes were cut — including ones that appeared in the trailer.
The sequel to Todd Phillips' controversial take on the most infamous Batman villain isn't yet out in the United States. But a combination of early screenings and info from fans in other countries where the theatrical release is already underway has left folks flummoxed.
