The NFL tells TMZ Sports … Lady Gaga has NOT been instructed to keep her mouth shut about politics and Donald Trump during the Super Bowl halftime show … despite reports to the contrary.
A report surfaced earlier Tuesday that Gaga — who’s famously outspoken about social issues and politics (and is anti-Trump) — was specifically told to keep politics out of her performance.
But an NFL spokesperson is calling B.S. — telling us, “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.”
