Lady Gaga basically turned Super Bowl LI into the Monsters Ball on Sunday night by slaying her 13-minute long halftime show like she was born to do.

The singer performed a medley of her greatest hits like "Born This Way" and "Bad Romance" in a high-flying, expertly choreographed extravaganza beginning with a leap off the roof of Houston's NRG Stadium.

Social media naturally exploded into a ball of glitter as reactions poured in from everyone from Hillary Clinton to Katy Perry, all left shook by the halftime show just like you and me.

I'm one of 100 million #SuperBowl fans that just went #Gaga for the Lady, & her message to all of us. https://t.co/8AoNqjwr1b

Incredible performance from my friend @LadyGaga. You amaze me — and not just onstage. Proud to work with you to end sexual assault. #ItsOnUs pic.twitter.com/ZOva2lpAOZ

The theme of every Lady Gaga performance is "I'm the greatest pop star alive whether it's cool for you to admit it or not."

If nothing else it's hard not to be impressed with how unabashedly gay this whole performance is

Others, however, were less than impressed by the absence of Beyoncé, who many hoped would make a surprise appearance, as well as a strong political statement running through the halftime show, which was heavily debated before Sunday's game.

That was good but not like Beyoncé good

don't perform "Telephone" if Beyoncé isn't there

People are dying in America but "some gay kid in Boise felt included" by a song that's performed since 2011 y'all really defend anything
