Football fans are used to getting the play-by-play, but not like this.

Lady Gaga posted minute by minute updates all day Sunday, starting before she even got out of bed. 

The latest: the 30-year-old performer warmed up in a pink jersey and panties while tickling the ivories in her staging area at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas.

Of course, her enthusiasm is understandable - she's about to give the performance of a lifetime - as the star of the Super Bowl's halftime show.

'Warming up!': Lady Gaga made sure she'll never forget the day she became the eighth artist to go solo for the Super Bowl halftime performance by posting up-to-minute updates all day Sunday, starting before she even got out of bed

At around 12.30pm Central the singer was awakened by a friend to start the monumental day in her career.

The singer snuggled with her French bulldog Koji in a plush bed as her friend roused her from her slumber.

The Bad Romance singer flashed a smile as a mystery pal rustled the star from her sleep Sunday afternoon.

'Hey Little Monsters, it's me,' she said. 'I'm getting ready to go to the venue to play the halftime show. I'm so excited!'

Even though it was the start of her day, the platinum blonde beauty looked lovely wearing a strong brow and a bit of rosy gloss on her lips in the snap.

At around 3:30pm Central she had arrived at the stadium and was making her way out to the field to get in her game day rehearsal.

Whoops! After realizing she may have revealed to much, Gaga covered up modestly

Something to tell us? She shot selfies with her agent Christian Carino

Stepping onto the field as multiple cameras snapped away, she at first looked rather awed as she looked around at the still empty stadium.

However any shyness soon passed, as Gaga got down on the floor and rolled around for the cameras. 

The star looked lovely in a black skirt with a long flowing train. She played with the garment a bit before striking a pose on the field.

As she kicked her long legs, Gaga realized she may have accidentally revealed her intimates and quickly recovered from the minor wardrobe malfunction.

The star was happy to oblige fans who happened to be on the fie;d, posing up for a series of pictures.

Her agent at CAA, Christian Carino, was among those to get some Gaga time, showing their close relationship with a hand on her waist as they posed.

The singer also took some of her own, blowing kisses into her camera.

Gaga, who had earlier FaceTimed her Grandma for a pep talk, wore a dramatic black gown complete with a train.

Impressive though it was, the outfit is unlikely to be nothing compared to those she wears for her performance.

In a Good Morning America interview Friday, the celeb told Michael Strahan she was going to put her own spin on the sporting event.

She told the former football star: 'So when I play the NLG stadium in Houston I'm gonna play it like it's a dive bar. I'm gonna do it my way.'

At about 4.30pm Central, she took to Instagram to post a caricature of herself wearing an NFL tee shirt and officially announced she would be going it alone for her performance during the big game. 

The star shared a heartfelt message with her fans in the Instagram pic's caption, saying:

'I want to say thank you to my fans for cheering me on all these years. There will not be any guest performers tonight, I'm doing these 13 minutes solo!'

'I dedicate every second to the love, diversity, compassion, and wild spirit of our fan base. To that kid who felt unwanted, or the grown up who remembers how hard it was to find acceptance. This is for you.

'It is also for those whose hearts and minds have opened to our message. Thank you for believing in us so we could be here today little monsters this is YOUR stage. And I'm gonna leave my heart on it so you never forget it. Let's do this. Xoxo Love, Gaga p.s I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.' 

She's a good sport! Gaga showed off her skivvies in a pre-game post where she can be seen shimmying for the camera in a baby pink jersey of her own

Later in the day, the star was less demure. 

At around 4.00pm Central, the Alejandro artist showed off a baby pink jersey and matching helmet with the word 'Gaga' emblazoned upon it in her dressing room.

In the slinky pre-game video, the star shimmied for the camera while her glam squad keeps her windswept with a little blow-drying action.

Just before kickoff at 5.30pm Central, the star had praise for Luke Bryan as he sang The Star-Spangled Banner to get the show started.

'We love you, Luke Bryan,' she said from behind the camera. 

Gaga has been in his shoes before, as she sang the national anthem in a bright red, metallic pantsuit before last year's Super Bowl.
