The one and only Lady Gaga was in charge of performing the US national anthem before the beginning of the Super Bowl 50 at the Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California last night (Feb. 7).

The “Applause” singer sang “The Star-Spangled Banner” with proud and confidence and delivered very strong vocals in the process.

In an interview for NFL.com before her big performance on Sunday, soon-to-be-Oscar-winner Lady Gaga said:

“I’ve always wanted to sing the National Anthem at a major sporting event since I was a little girl”…“This is one of the highest honors of my career”… "I get a chance to sing for all the athletes who have been working so hard their whole like for this moment”…“I have to live up to a song that stands the test of time”…“I think the best way to do that is kind of forget about yourself and just focus on what it means. ... I’m really singing it from the heart and I’m also singing it really very true to the way that it was written, because I think that’s when it sounds its most majestic”.

Lady Gaga belted the American national anthem wearing a red suit with a pianist playing his instrument of choice next to her. A group of volunteers held a gigantic flag of the United States of America in the back.

Doing a quick check on YouTube, this was really the first time that Lady Gaga got to perform the US national anthem on any major televised event. This certainly was historic/milestone moment for her career.

FYI: Lady Gaga’s new pop album will be released later this year.

Did Gaga slay?
