Lady Gaga Responds to Ozempic Rumors After Super Bowl Halftime Show

Lady Gaga responded to speculation about her appearance following a surprise performance during Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl L halftime indicate, expressing gratitude for the invitation and dismissing online commentary regarding potential use of weight-loss medication.

The 39-year-old singer posted on Instagram Monday, stating, “It was my absolute honor to be a part of Benito’s halftime show,” and thanking both Bad Bunny and the entire cast. “Thank you Benito for inviting me and thank you to the entire cast for welcoming me onto your stage,” she wrote. “I wouldn’t miss it for the world.”

Gaga’s message followed a surge of social media posts questioning her appearance, with some users referencing Ozempic, a diabetes medication increasingly discussed in relation to weight loss. Posts on X, formerly Twitter, included jokes about “Ozempic face” and whether the performer was “AI or Lady Ozempic Gaga,” according to reports.

The unexpected performance occurred during Bad Bunny’s headline set at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, on February 8, 2026. Gaga performed a salsa-infused rendition of her song “Die With a Smile,” adapting the track to complement the Puerto Rican artist’s performance style. The collaboration was described as a “high-energy cultural crossover” and a “buzzed-about moment” during the halftime show, according to entertainmentnow.com.

This marked Gaga’s third appearance at the Super Bowl, having previously sung the National Anthem in 2016 and headlined the halftime show in 2017. Billboard reported that Gaga tailored her performance to honor Bad Bunny and his artistic vision.

While the Ozempic-related comments gained traction online, Gaga’s public statement focused solely on her appreciation for the opportunity to perform with Bad Bunny and the broader experience of participating in the Super Bowl L halftime show.
