The Simpsons predicted that Lady Gaga would perform the Super Bowl's halftime show back in 2012.

The long-running cartoon, that also said Donald Trump would one day be president back in 2000, even had the singer floating from the stadium roof in a harness.   

In the episode called Lisa Goes Gaga, she also plays the piano and wears knee-high boots, just like the ones she wore on Sunday night.

Wow: The comparisons were impossible to miss as Lady Gaga performed at the famous game on Sunday night

Flames come out of her metal bra as she performs to an eager audience, while Bart and Lisa's grandpa professes his love for her.  

Gaga tore the roof off of NRG Stadium in Houston on Sunday with one of the greatest Super Bowl halftime shows in history.

She also delivered a subtle message of inclusion and unity, and avoided targeting Donald Trump.

From the outset, Gaga served notice this was no ordinary performance - she began her performance from the lip of the stadium roof, an army of 300 drones forming a twinkling American flag in the sky.

Then she took flight (literally) at the end of the pre-recorded sequence.

The singer, clad in a sparkling silver bodysuit and knee high boots, then appeared to leap from the edge the retractable roof onto the stage with the help of some sturdy wires -- and the performance was nonstop from there.

And although she didn't mention President Trump once, her performance was praised as 'incredible' by Ivanka Trump afterwards.

Shock: Twitter went wild with people noticing the comparisons between the cartoon and real life

The news comes after the show predicted the future President 17 years ago.   

The reference to Trump first appeared in an episode called Bart To The Future 16 years ago and was later referenced in another clip called Trumptastic Voyage.

The iconic cartoon's creator, Matt Groening, has since said: 'Trump was of course the most absurd placeholder joke name that we could think of at the time, and that’s still true. It’s beyond satire.'

Music speaks for itself: Her hit "Born This Way" became a gay rights anthem but in the context of Sunday's show fit into the idea of accepting differences, a thread through much of the game's commercial messaging

Dan Greaney, a writer for the Simpsons also told The Hollywood Reporter that the clip had a dark message behind it. 

He said: 'It was a warning to America. That just seemed like the logical last stop before hitting bottom. 

'It was pitched because it was consistent with the vision of America going insane.’

Donald Trump marked his world-shaking victory over Hillary Clinton early on Wednesday morning with a dramatic peace-making gesture, saying: 'We owe her a debt of gratitude and I mean that very sincerely.'

After he sensationally won the White House race, Clinton phoned him at 2:30 a.m. to concede she had lost.

She made the private call shortly after sending her campaign chairman to give her supporters exactly the opposite message, that it was not over. 

Clinton is yet to be seen publicly.

D'oh! Trump was later referenced in another clip called Trumptastic Voyage
