A new report by Us Weekly magazine said Lady Gaga is the confirmed headliner for Super Bowl LI's halftime show, but the NFL says that's not the case.
This comes after rumors that the pop artist would be performing at the football championship event.
The 30-year-old singer will perform at NRG Stadium in Houston on Feb. 5.
Gaga appeared at Super Bowl 50 in Santa Clara, California, where she opened the event by singing the national anthem.
"This is one of the highest honors of my career," she said of the performance. "I get a chance to sing for all the athletes who have been working so hard their whole lives for this moment -- the coaches, as well as the fans in the stands who are waiting for this moment. I think it marks what being an American is all about."
