Lady Gaga's a lot more forthcoming about her Super Bowl playbook than the Patriots or Falcons!

The 30-year-old hit-maker took to Instagram Stories on Saturday to share a montage of scenes, as she prepares for the huge stage that awaits her Sunday at Houston's NRG Stadium.

'I will be playing the halftime show for Super Bowl 51,' the Grammy-winner said, as her team tended to her hair and makeup. 'You are here with us today getting a behind-the-scenes peek at our preparation process for the show.'

In the next montage in the pop-infused highlight reel, the lithe performer, whose real name is Stefani Germanotta, is seen flanked by her dance troupe, with everyone except her decked out in black football jerseys and striped Adidas workout pants. The group, in the video, is going through the motions of an elaborate dance routine that will be unveiled to the masses during Sunday's championship match-up.

The Bad Romance beauty was subsequently seen doing warm-ups for a dance number with a resistance band around her knees.

Despite the frenetic schedule, the multi-platinum Manhattan native made time to chat with her grandmother via a FaceTime call, as her glam team primped her hair and made up her face.

The multi-platinum diva was then seen riding on the back of a golf cart, impressing passersby with her agility; and leading the way in onstage rehearsals with her backup dancers adorably replaced with giant emojis of footballs.

The singer, in a news conference on Thursday, vowed to infuse energy into her showcase on the year's grandest of stages.

'I thought it was important for us to consider high adrenaline; when you're watching football, you're watching guys crash into each other - you're watching some real strategizing happening.

'It's a pretty intense situation, and I didn't want the halftime show to take a dip. It's going to be a good time.'

The Poker Face songstress also noted that her frequent collaborator - show biz legend Tony Bennett - will be involved in the festivities as well.

She's clearly all in on the effort to put on a memorable show, as recent years have seen some of her pop peers such as Beyonce, Katy Perry and Bruno Mars leave lasting impressions grandstanding on the gridiron.
