Entertainment Tonight reported Tuesday that the National Football League told Super Bowl halftime singer Lady Gaga that she could not “say anything or bring anything up about the election, or mention Donald Trump” during her performance. Now, the NFL is saying that story was not true and that the singer was given no kind of instructions. “It’s false,” Natalie Ravitz, senior vice president of communications for the NFL, told CNN. “This is unsourced nonsense from people trying to stir up controversy where there is none. The Super Bowl is a time when people really come together. Lady Gaga is focused on putting together an amazing show for fans and we love working with her on it; we aren’t going to be distracted by this.” Lady Gaga was an ardent supporter of Hillary Clinton’s campaign.
