Prince. Michael Jackson. Beyonce. U2. Lady Gaga?
Yes, the argument certainly could be made that Lady Gaga put on once of the greatest halftime performances ever at Super Bowl LI, from her patriotic opening to her literal mic drop at the end.
It’s a show that will be talked about for quite some time we think, especially considering considering the Atlanta Falcons were blowing out the New England Patriots at halftime. So let’s take a look at some of the best reactions.
First, we start with some clever comments about Lady Gaga jumping off the NRG Stadium roof.

And here’s some of the best of the rest:
Prince will always be the GOAT halftime show. I feel like we're watching the silver medal.

Gaga made no statement beyond opening patriotic songs, but show was empowering and diverse enough to speak for itself..great stuff..

Former Patriots defensive tackle Dominique Easley disagreed with all those takes, though.

And it wouldn’t be the internet without a tweet about President Donald Trump.
