The day before the big game, Lady Gaga had a chance to speak about her expectations for the halftime performance by JLo and Shakira, poking a little bit of fun at the duo. "I better hear no lip-syncing tomorrow," she said playfully, referencing her flawless performance at the Super Bowl several years ago.

Lady Gaga then proceeded to share her admiration for both Lopez and Shakira, stating that she has so much love for both of the artists and she wishes the best of luck to all of the players competing in the game. "I wish so much love and so much luck to everyone that’s doing the halftime show, to both the teams that are playing each other in the Super Bowl,” Gaga said. “They’re all champions."

Of course, social media went crazy following the halftime show performance with many questioning whether there was actually any 'real' singing going on, or if it was simply lipsyncing.

One Twitter user came out and went straight for the jugular posting, "Thought it was a Super Bowl Halftime Show, not a Lip Sync for Your Life?" while another shared, "I thought the Lip Sync Battle Halftime Show was pretty good."

One social media user directly called out Shakira for her perceived use of lipsyncing stating, "Shakira is my idol, but this is the first time I’ve seen someone noticeably lip sync at the Super Bowl."
