Lady Gaga has won a Sports Emmy for her Super Bowl performance of “Hold My Hand.”
Gaga, who was nominated in the outstanding music direction category, triumphed over “Evolution of the Black Quarterback,” “The Lionheart,” “Noche UFC: For Mexico, For All Time” and “The Turnaround.”
The win puts the multi-hyphenate one step closer to EGOT since she already has an Academy Award, a Grammy Award and now an Emmy. Gaga needs a Tony Award to reach that elite status.
Gaga performed the “Top Gun: Maverick” anthem on Bourbon Street in New Orleans as a tribute to the victims of the New Year’s attack, which left 14 people dead. During the emotional number, Gaga played the piano and was joined by a full band and choir. Louisiana State Police troopers, New Orleans police officers, first responders and law enforcement were given a front-row view. Former New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and Michael Strahan were also featured in the tribute.
“Hold My Hand” was featured at the end of 2022’s blockbuster film “Top Gun: Maverick” in its emotional ending. The song was nominated for a Grammy and a Golden Globe.
Gaga has just wrapped two nights performing in Singapore’s National Stadium as part of her Mayhem Ball Tour. She kicks off the U.S. leg in July. Next up, Gaga announced she will be appearing at Netflix’s Tudum 2025: The Live Event.
As previously announced, Gaga will appear on “Wednesday” Season 2. The exact nature of Gaga’s role is still under wraps, but sources have said it will be a cameo appearance. The show will return on Aug. 6, debuting with Part 1, while Part 2 will follow on Sept. 3.
