Gaga had earlier sang her rendition of the American national anthem at the Superbowl games in 2016. She had also strongly supported Joe Biden during his campaign days. Before the election Gaga asked people to vote for Joe Biden and that he is a "good man". She also called out Donald Trump and called him a man "who believes his fame gives him right to grab one of your daughters or sisters or mothers or wives by any part of their bodies."
