Lady Gaga Appears in Tribute Segment Before Super Bowl

Ahead of Super Bowl LIX, Lady Gaga stopped in New Orleans, Louisiana, to film a tribute segment that premiered before the biggest game in American football.

Gaga, accompanied by a full backing band, sang "Hold My Hand" on New Orleans' iconic Bourbon Street alongside a variety of football legends, including Michael Strahan, Tom Brady and Terry Bradshaw.

The segment acknowledges numerous tragic events that happened in the United States this year, including the New Orleans terror attack, Hurricane Helene hitting North Carolina and the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles.
