Britney Spears' 2001 halftime show with NSYNC, Nelly and Aerosmith was arguably one of the best. Will she grace the stage again with Lady Gaga for a Super Bowl reprise? (AP)

It's the collaboration we've all been waiting for: Lady Gaga and Madge. With Madonna's influence apparent in Gaga's work -- think 'Born This Way' -- it's only a matter of time. (AP Photo/Nam Y. Huh, File)
R. Kelly joined Gaga on her sultry 2013 single 'Do What U Want.' What do we want? A re-imagination of their fabulous JFK and Marilyn Monroe-inspired performance. (John Shearer/Invision/AP, file)

HOUSTON (KTRK) -- It's the question on everybody's mind: What does Lady Gaga have in store for her halftime show during Super Bowl 51?

If you're viewing on our ABC13 news app, tap on the photo above to see more images.

As we know well, Lady Gaga has a bevy of tricks up her sleeve at any given time. Although her days of meat dresses and egg hatching are seemingly behind her, it wouldn't truly be a Lady Gaga halftime show without a big surprise.



Some of the most memorable halftime performances -- think NSYNC, Britney Spears, Nelly and Aerosmith's 2001 roof-raising performance or Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson's infamous show in Houston -- featured ensemble casts. Could another big name join the chanteuse onstage on Feb. 5?

Take a look through the gallery above to see some of our picks for a Super Bowl duet performance.
