Lady Gaga Sent J.Lo and Shakira the Sweetest Good Luck Message for the Super Bowl

Lady Gaga hit the stage in Miami for #SuperSaturdayNight, where she performed songs such as “Just Dance” and “Applause” just 24 hours before Jennifer Lopez and Shakira are set to bring down the house at the 2020 Super Bowl.
She reflected on her own experience headlining the show in 2017—and sent this year’s teams and performers uplifting messages.

“The Super Bowl is what champions are made of!” Lady Gaga said during her unforgettable 2017 Super Bowl halftime show performance. And as a “winner” herself, the 33-year-old singer is now pᴀssing on the baton to two other superstars: Jennifer Lopez and Shakira.

On Saturday, Gaga arrived at Meridian at Island Gardens in Miami for AT&T’s TV Super Saturday Night, a special concert event in which she performed a version of her Las Vegas Enigma show. After quite literally descending from the ceiling in a mirrored body suit and a neon blue wig, Gaga sang hits such as “Poker Face,” “Telephone,” and “Bad Romance”—but she also used the moment to uplift women and wish this year’s halftime show performers the best of luck.

“I was lucky enough at the Super Bowl a couple of years ago to sing this song and I’ll never forget—I was singing it and I looked out in the audience and I swear to God I saw my parents,” she said before performing “Million Reasons.” “When I said, ‘Hey Mom and Dad  at the Super Bowl, that wasn’t planned. I really saw them. I saw them among a sea of people and it was because I could feel their hearts, because if it wasn’t for my family I’d be nowhere. I love you, Mom and Dad. I love you, Natali, my sister.”

She continued, “Thank you so much for believing in me. I remember when I played the halftime show and it was one of the most special, beautiful things that’s ever happened to me. So thank you.”

Gaga made sure to also encourage all of Sunday night’s athletes and performers. “All my love to everyone that’s performing and playing tomorrow. I hope they all feel as lucky as I do right now,” she said, calling both the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs “champions,” and adding, “I love you J.Lo! I love you Shakira!”

Throughout her performance, Gaga encouraged fans to tweet live using the hashtag #SuperSaturdayNight to help her organization, Born This Way Foundation, achieve the goal of raising $250,000 to “build a kinder, braver world.”

While some fans speculated that Gaga would take the spotlight in Miami as an opportunity to announce a rumored new single—“Single Love” recently leaked, forcing her to react on Twitter—she wrapped up the show with beloved songs like “Born This Way” and “Shallow.”
