The performance attracted 117.5million viewers, making it the second-biggest audience for the halftime show after Katy Perry drew 118.5million viewers in 2015, Billboard.com reported.
Lady Gaga's performance was extraordinary from the outset, as a pre-recorded tape showed her belting out a medley from the stadium roof in front of an army of 300 drones forming a twinkling American flag in the sky.
The singer, clad in a sparkling silver bodysuit and knee high boots, then appeared to leap from the edge and descended onto the stage with the help of some sturdy wires.
In the run-up to the event, many assumed Lady Gaga would make an overt political statement given her critical remarks about President Donald Trump in the past.
But she emphasized unity instead, delivering a subversive message against the president's policies which was largely looked over.
Several songs and costume changes later, fans and fellow celebrities alike applauded Lady Gaga for pulling off the solo 13-minute performance with panache.
