NFL chief content officer Jordan Levin sat down with Hollywood Reporter about Lady Gaga’s halftime show. As it turns out, the organization is probably more excited about the performance than we are — and that’s saying something!

“Our working relationship with [Gaga] has been nothing but one of consummate professionalism,” Jordan said to HR about rumors she was told not to talk about Trump. “She sang the national anthem for us last year, completely killed it. Our game and the Super Bowl itself is not just a sporting event. So we want to always make sure that they see the opportunity the way we do… Audiences are always going to have preconceived impressions of a performer. That’s outside of our control. What’s important to us is to celebrate the broader themes and our commonality. Shrewd artists understand it’s a unique, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to create an impression that is ideally respectful of the audience.”

As far as ratings go, he’s not too worried either: What is surprising to me about [NFL Network] and it really speaks to the power of this game, is that we are the No. 2 sports network with [only] eight exclusive NFL games and another eight simulcast games. We have preseason games, but a lot of them are not live. And we have two college bowl games and some high school games. At other networks, half of their schedule is live game programming.”

Well hiring Lady Gaga to perform the halftime show is probably the best thing to ever happen to the Super Bowl! Just to remind you how fierce this lady is, let’s rewatch her National Anthem:
