In the midst of what was already a historically exciting Super Bowl, Lady Gaga's high-flying halftime performance stood out as one of the highlights of the night.
Time will tell, but Gaga's performance seems it will go down as one of the memorable halftime shows in history. Here's a look back at Sunday night's performance, as well as other iconic Super Bowl halftime performances in history.
Lady Gaga at Super Bowl LI, 2017
Lady Gaga's performance had it all: drones, acrobatics, a tribute to America, and -- of course -- a medley of her greatest hits.

The Who at Super Bowl XLIV, 2010

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band at Super Bowl XLIII, 2009

It was impossible to deny Prince made viewers go crazy at Super Bowl XLI.
Paul McCartney at Super Bowl XXXIX, 2005
Paul McCartney was selected as a safe, reliable bet to perform at halftime in 2005, following the 2004 "wardrobe malfunction" controversy during Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson's performance. McCartney covered some of his most-beloved tracks from The Beatles and Wings.
The first Super Bowl that was played after the 9/11 attacks, U2 gave a powerful tribute to those lost in the tragedy with a chilling rendition of "Where The Streets Have No Name."
Aerosmith, N'Sync, Britney Spears, Mary J. Blige, Nelly at Super Bowl XXXV, 2001

Diana Ross at Super Bowl XXX, 1996
Celebrating 30 years of the Super Bowl, Ross's performance was a true diva spectacle, as she was airlifted by helicopter out of Pasadena's Rose Bowl while singing "Take Me Higher."
Michael Jackson at Super Bowl XXVII, 1993
The King of Pop was temporarily anointed as the king of football in 1993, easily delivering the most powerful and memorable Super Bowl halftime performance in recent memory.
