Lady Gaga Skips Political Statement for High Energy Americana in Her Super Bowl Halftime Show

Lady Gaga gave a Super Bowl halftime show that was equal parts her signature outre self and Americana -- somewhat surprisingly skipping the fierce political statement she was expected to make.

[...] the message about inclusion came through clearly during her LGBT anthem "Born This Way," but Gaga also gave a touching and personal shout out to her dad and mom while singing "Million Reasons."

[...] the singer dropped her mic (literally), and then -- much like she did when she entered -- she jumped off into space -- this time catching a football in the process.
