Beyhive, don’t ‘Telephone’ Lady Gaga expecting Beyoncé to make an appearance during her Super Bowl LI halftime show because she’s… simply busy doing it on her own.
Gaga will reportedly be breaking an upspoken Superbowl tradition and taking over the NRG Stadium by herself on Sunday, Feb. 5, when either the New England Patriots or the Pittsburgh Steelers face off against the Atlanta Falcons or the Green Bay Packers. (Sports, I know, ugh.)
According to Billboard, Gaga will headline “without any guest appearances,” unlike the many performers of Super Bowl halftime shows past, including Coldplay and Katy Perry, who’ve welcomed artists like Bruno Mars, Missy Elliot, Lenny Kravitz and even Beyoncé herself.
The singers famously starred in two hugely popular music videos together, “Telephone” and “Video Phone,” neither of which the duo has performed live. Fans of both legendary divas have been clamoring for another collaboration ever since.
When Gaga’s halftime show was announced in September, it seemed like the team-up could actually happen, considering Beyoncé’s habit of casually dropping by the Super Bowl like it’s no big deal.
Though Lady Bey has performed at the Super Bowl 3 times now, this is still sure to not be taken well by the Hive. I mean honestly, when can you ever have enough Yonce? I’m sure Gaga is going to kill it alone, though.
