It has been a big couple of weeks for Lady Gaga, but it's about to get even crazier. The recent Golden Globe winner has been tapped by the NFL to open the Super Bowl 50 by singing the national anthem at the start of the event.

According to a report from the NFL, Gaga has been confirmed to sing the "The Star-Spangled Banner" at the Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California for the biggest event in the sporting and entertainment world. Academy Award winning actress Marlee Matlin will be alongside her to perform in American Sign Language.

It's only one of Gaga's many recent accomplishments. She nabbed a Golden Globe last month for her part in "American Horror Story: Hotel". The upcoming Academy Awards might see her with another award under her belt as she is nominated for Best Original Song for her song "Til It Happens to You" in the film "The Hunting Ground."

The Super Bowl 50 is set to be the most spectacular ever with the Carolina Panthers going up against the Denver Broncos.

The halftime show, a high-profile slot that is often the talks of the industry for weeks afterwards, will be occupied by headliner Coldplay. In an interview with CNN, Chris Martin and the rest of the band shared more about their anticipation for one of the most spectacular stages in the country.

"I loved the whole concept of trying to present your entire musical life in 12-and-a-half minutes," Martin explained. "It's a great challenge...We've possibly got 11 good minutes. So we have some special guests and they'll cover the rest."

The special guests who will be appearing with Coldplay are amazing artists in their own right, with ample experience in the Super Bowl stage; Beyoncé and Bruno Mars are among the ones Martin confirmed. It's a superstar lineup that could possibly cause some nerves, even in the experienced English band. However, the frontman revealed he has been fielding advice from several sources including Bruce Springsteen and his daughter Apple.

"I spoke to one of the other artists who did it a few years ago, and he said, 'It's gotta be muscle memory,'" Martin said, adding that Springsteen told him 12 minutes "ain't long, but it's long enough!"

He continued that he also talked to Apple about the upcoming show saying, "She said, 'Dad, the worst that could happen is you'll get turned into a meme. And after a month or so people will just forget!'"
