Lady Gaga’s halftime performance on Sunday raised the roof of the stadium, literally, where she began singing “This Land is Your Land” with the backdrop of  a starry American flag in the background. She jumps off the roof and lands to perform a mashup of some of her hit songs from the last decade.
The pop star performed “Poker Face,” “Telephone, “Million Reasons,” “Bad Romance” and “Just Dance” for the screaming crowd.Â
Lady Gaga also belted out her pro-LGBT anthem “Born This Way,” with the lyrics “No matter gay, straight, or bi. Lesbian, transgendered life,” to the national audience, which included Vice President Mike Pence who was present in the NRG Stadium.
