From the close scores to the halftime show and even the media blowing up over the game, Super Bowl 51 is an event to be remembered. The game was played between the Atlanta Falcons and the New England Patriots. Until the fourth quarter, the event seemed to be in favor of the Falcons, however, the Patriots made a last minute comeback, scoring 19 points. With a tie score of 28, overtime was called. In overtime, by scoring a single touchdown, the New England Patriots won the Super Bowl !

Lady Gaga was the headliner at this years halftime show. Lady Gaga delivered an explosive ‘Greatest Hits’ medley at the Halftime Show. The pop chameleon tore through “Poker Face,” “Born This Way”, “Telephone”, “Just Dance”, “Million Reasons” and “Bad Romance.” She was assisted by a stage-full of back up dancers and illuminated by a sky-full of starry drones. Gaga opened things up by belting an operatic “God Bless America” before dropping into the arena to the synth strains of “Poker Face.” Throughout her epic performance, Gaga jumped from the microphone to guitar, to piano, shouting out her parents in the audience, employed Thriller-esque choreography and donned some glammy football gear.

Twitter exploded with positive and negative comments regarding the performance during and after the Super Bowl. Twitter users also posted about the final score as well. There has even been reports of some Twitter users threatening New England Patriots player, Tom Brady.

From the final scoring, to the half time show, and to the Twitter madness, Super Bowl 51 was no doubt a very exciting event.
