Lady Gaga kept political protests subtle as she performed at half time during American football's big showpiece event.

She opened her 13 minute performance with 'God Bless America' and then segued into 'This Land Is Your Land'.

The song has become an anthem for protesters fighting against Trump’s proposed immigration bans and border walls.

Her entrance was pretty epic. The singer sang on top of the stadium in Houston before 'jumping off' and assuming her best Mission Impossible / Spiderman pose. She landed on top of an elaborately-rigged podium where her set kicked off in earnest.

 

Beforehand, the singer had promised to deliver a message of inclusion.

"The only statements that I'll be making during the half-time show are the ones that I've been consistently making throughout my career."

The performance as a whole was seen as much tamer compared to Beyonce's politically charged stint on the pitch last year.

Gaga also took the opportunity to announce a world tour, although no dates, countries or venues were announced.

Meanwhile, Twitter users are pointing out how last night's performance was 'predicted' by The Simpsons.

They've pointing out the similarities between the lighting and her acrobatics.


Gas!

The set list includes, Poker Face, Born this Way, Telephone and Bad Romance.
