Against what many conservatives may think, Lady Gaga's performance at the Super Bowl was a perfect reflection of our new President Trump. Just like the election, the game was politicized even before kickoff. The cast of Hamilton performed seems to be on purpose to get back at Trumps supporters that were offended after the cast scolded his vice president last year. During the commercials of the games, there also seemed to have liberal connotations behind the ads including messaged about immigration and equal pay. But choosing Gaga to perform was not against Trump at all. In fact choosing a person that has also built a band around controversy and shock value was on purpose.
This article was published on CNN, a popular and trustworthy news site. I can read news from this article and trust that there is no bias. Before reading this article, I have not thought of this idea connecting Gaga's Superbowl performance to United States politics. But it makes a lot of sense. Whatever your feelings towards Trump may be, selecting a performer that has also started a lot of controversy in our world may have been the best play of the Superbowl. This article is important because it in itself is a synthesis of two popular current events.
This is an interesting comparison of politics and social events.
ReplyDeleteI love the synthesis and how this was tied together.
ReplyDeleteI really liked how you strung this all together.
