Who performed the Super Bowl 51 half time show 2017, who won the Super Bowl and how can I see the ads?
THE NFL’s annual championship last night showcased the highest level of American football in the world as the Super Bowl 51 spectacle rolled into town.
As kick-off time loomed, millions of fans from around the globe tuned in to watch the huge sporting occasion.
But who performed at the iconic half time show and what was the score?
When was the Super Bowl 2017?
This year’s Super Bowl was held on February 5 in the NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas.
Viewers from The UK could watch game at 11:20pm, seeing the New England Patriots take on the Atlanta Falcons.
The championship was set to finish by 4am, so there’s no doubt British sports fans were left feeling a bit bleary-eyed on Monday morning.
Who performed at the Super Bowl half time show?
Lady Gaga wowed fans across the world with an electrifying Super Bowl performance, as she landed in the middle of the pitch suspended by just two wires.
The star began her incredible half-time show perched on the stadium roof, showing off her stunning figure in a short silver jewelled leotard and fishnet tights.
Adding a dramatic mask, Gaga then jumped on to the pitch and wowed the crowd in Houston, Texas, with a 12-minute medley of her songs including Poker Face and Born This Way.
Despite two costume changes she avoided any wardrobe mishaps, and has been widely praised for the show-stopping performance.
About 110 million TV viewers watched her set, during a break in the American football game.
While many fans expected the star to use the platform to make a political statement, the singer focused more on her music for the show.
“The only statements that I’ll be making during the half-time show are the ones that I’ve been consistently making throughout my career,” she previously said.
However she did perform her hit Born This Way, including the lyrics: “No matter gay, straight or bi/Lesbian, transgendered life/I’m on the right track baby/I was born to survive.”
Country star Luke Bryan performed the national anthem this year.
Who won the Super Bowl?
For the fifth time, the New England Patriots were the champions, triumphing over the Atlanta Falcons 34-28 at the NRG Stadium in Houston.
It wasn't plain sailing and for the first time, overtime was needed.
It took the biggest comeback in Super Bowl history for Tom Brady to lead his team to victory, rallying from a 25-point deficit.
The sporting star won his fifth Super Bowl title, the first quarterback to ever do so.
How can I see the Super Bowl adverts?
As Super Bowl is one of the most watched events of the year, brands are willing to spend a fortune on advertising.
Each year, different companies come up with inventive ways to get noticed at the highly-anticipated event.
One promotional clip that caught everyone's attention is Budweiser's.
The controversial advert addressed the hot topic of immigration, with the commercial released days after Donald Trump’s controversial executive order banning citizens from seven countries from entering the United States.
The advert is called “Born the Hard Way” and shows the company’s co-founder Adolphus Busch on his journey to the US.
Here are some of the best commercials from this year's event:
