The pop star and the NFL confirmed Thursday night that she will perform during the halftime show of Super Bowl 51 at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas, on February 5, 2017. The big game will be broadcast on Fox.

Gaga, referring to her new single “Perfect Illusion,” tweeted, “It’s not an illusion. The rumors are true. This year the SUPER BOWL goes GAGA!”

She’ll appear on the Fox NFL Sunday Pregame Show this Sunday to discuss the gig.

Gaga sang the national anthem at Super Bowl 50 in Santa Clara, California, last February. Coldplay, joined by Beyonce and Bruno Mars, took the halftime stage during that game.

Gaga is scheduled to release her new album, Joanne, on October 21.
