Lady Gaga covers a song… in her big week?

This Sunday the Grammys are handed out and there is still not much information about the artists who will perform or present new releases. What is certain is that Lady Gaga is among the favorites, it seems that she will at least triumph in the pop category and has serious options for Best Album, Best Song and Best Recording.

It seems that the big prizes are between Bad Bunny, Kendrick Lamar and her, according to the betting houses.

A week later is the Super Bowl and the artist will have a new connection with the event after having offered one of the best intermissions in history, and having performed the United States National Anthem on another occasion. This time he has covered a song for a Rocket & Redfin spot that will premiere that night. It’s ‘Won’t You Be My Neighbor’.

The song was the theme song for ‘Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood’, a children’s series that aired in the United States between 1968 and 2001. Lady Gaga, who was born in 1986, appears in a trailer explaining how the series influenced her, and at the end of the trailer we see her perform the song, now without background voices. According to the press release, their version tries to recover values ​​”such as care, connection and the feeling of belonging.”

The campaign seeks to bring people back together because “America is better when we are good neighbors.” Rocket’s previous year’s campaign revived John Denver’s classic, ‘Take Me Home, Country Roads’.
