While Gaga did indeed do the leap without a stunt double's help, this part of the show was performed in advance.
After it aired, the cameras cut to Gaga somersaulting as she soared swiftly through the air to a podium to continue the show.
For those inside the arena the show began with Gaga hanging from her guide wires, in the dark.
Footage shot from fans shows a motionless Gaga suspended from the wires. Suddenly a spotlight shines on her, and she starts her descent.
Intel which was behind the drones used in the pre-recorded feat blamed the need to plan the stunt in advance on the unpredictable weather.
'So there’s a lot of weather and environment (issues),' Natalie Cheung, general manager for Intel Drones, told USA Today.
'In February, you don’t know what it will be like during Super Bowl day. We’d hate to plan all this and, if the wind speeds are too high or if it’s raining and the roof is closed, no one can see this spectacular show. So our creative team as well as the Super Bowl creative team felt this would be best to be filmed.
'From a logistics and creative perspective, it’s a bit hard for her [Lady Gaga] to go from the roof all the way down to the floor of the stadium.'
Gaga said the idea to start the show on the roof came from her little sister Natali.
'She said, "I know let's suspend you in the air!"'.

I feel stupid now.
THAT’S IT SHE’S FINISHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
she didn’t bash trump. the left needs to teach her a lesson now by bashing her at every opportunity

She actually did jump earlier under more controlled circumstances and they spliced the footage together. So I don’t know if I’d call this a “fake” per se.
Amazing what they can do these days with wires, lighting, and camera tricks.
this is leftie payback for not taking on Trump during the halftime...
Ridiculous! Next thing you’ll tell me is David Copperfield didn’t make a Space Shuttle disappear.
WHAT AN OUTRAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of the main reasons portions of the show were pre-recorded was simple; the FAA banned drones over the Super Bowl.
There was no way the production could have used the 300 drones live.
It was laughable. She’s uncoordinated and awkward.
But we did catch a glimpse. And the glimpse we caught was the jump. INSTANTLY knew that the jump was staged.
fake show, OMG!!!!!!
Yes, and Daniel Radcliffe didn’t actually fly around on a magic broom during the Quidditch game in the first Harry Potter movie.
Morton Thikoll did
Watched it on youtube,
Thought there wasn’t something funny about that cut away from her after she jumped.
Attributed it (incorrectly) to the TV directors not wanting to risk broadcasting a tragic mishap live.
everyone knows that david copperfield made that statue of liberty disappear! :)
Anybody who wants to give her cr@p for that, I double-dog dare them to do the stunt themselves, OR ELSE THEY CAN STFU.
She gave a great show. And I'm not a Lady Gaga fan, just somebody who's done live music performance and I respect her ability and daring.
Excellent point.
