I had no intention of watching any of part of the Super Bowl. Why? Well, I had too much homework due at midnight, so I was typing away while the game raged on. But, when the halftime show started, my mom yelled at me to come and watch with them. I made my way to the TV and began to watch. I’m so glad I did.
As in years past, I expected some political agenda to be shoved down everybody’s throat as we watched the Halftime Show, but Lady Gaga kept politics out. She let us all just have a good time and enjoy her beautiful voice.
She started off singing the national anthem with the American Flag made of drones behind her. We've finally had a second to be proud of America no matter the political party we belong to. She refused to divide America even further by throwing her views into the show. Lately, it seems like anyone who can get a hold of a microphone and some national television tells us all about their political beliefs and everyone must adopt them or else they're a horrible human being. But Lady Gaga, she spent her television time well, letting us all just have a good time for once. She celebrated her music and her rise, she celebrated football, and she celebrated America. I can't stop thinking what a classy move that was.
America got a chance to stop being mad at each other. We got to sing along with her songs that we all know so well whether we like to admit it or not. We had some fun as a nation.
Lady Gaga, you gave us some peace, even if it’s only momentary, but it’s what America needed. A moment to have fun, be a little patriotic and enjoy some football and some music. So Lady Gaga, thank you so much.
