The 51st Super Bowl had plenty of glittering moments.
Standing atop the roof of Houston's NRG Stadium with drones illuminating an American flag in the night sky behind her, Lady Gaga kicked off her Super Bowl half time set on Sunday by singing "God Bless America" as a subtle message of inclusion and unity in a deeply divided United States. As many speculated about whether the outspoken singer would use her spotlight to address women's rights, immigration or President Donald Trump, Gaga recited part of the American Pledge of Allegiance, "one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all," in her opening song.
The New England Patriots pulled off the greatest comeback in Super Bowl history with a stunning overtime victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday that saw Tom Brady cement his status as the game's all-time greatest quarterback.
A number of celebrities were present at the event including Donatella Versace, Taraji P. Henson, Ludacris, Flo Rida, Lea Michelle, Gordon Ramsay to name a few.
