It must be the concert watched by the most people every year and the Super Bowl half-time show is big business. And at in 2017 the headline act will be Lady Gaga, the artist confirmed on her Twitter page.

Sometimes the sport on show at America's biggest sporting event can seem almost secondary with all the hype surrounding the half-time show and even the adverts that are shown. This year's event will be in Houston, Texas where Gaga will take the stage.

The pop sensation was on stage at last year's event too as she opened proceedings by singing the national anthem before Coldplay were the headline act halfway through the game. However their limelight was slightly stolen as they were out performed by Beyonce and Bruno Mars and were also joined on stage by Mark Ronson.

Gaga announced the news on her Twitter page:

Fox Sports president and executive producer John Entz said, "Lady Gaga is one of the most electric performers of our generation, and we couldn't be happier with the choice to have her headline the Super Bowl LI Halftime Show. It is going to be an incredible night."

The 30 year old's latest album comes out in October and considering this is a woman who once wore a dress made out of steak you can only imagine that her half time show is going to be something spectacular.
