MIAMI — Descending from the air, Lady Gaga kicked off a pre-Super Bowl concert by mimicking her entrance to her Super Bowl halftime performance three years ago, which earned her raved reviews. Headlining the big sports stage was a recurring theme of her Miami concert Saturday night, and the pop star sent a message to Sunday's featured performers: “I better hear no lip-syncing tomorrow!”..... So, thank you,” said Gaga, who also wowed audiences at the 2016 Super Bowl when she sang the national anthem.
