Lady Gaga, singer and actress, added a Sports Emmy to her impressive career. This achievement brings her one step closer to reaching the prestigious EGOT status, which is awarded to those who have won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony Award.
The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences awarded Gaga the Outstanding Music Direction Emmy for her performance of “Hold My Hand” during the Super Bowl broadcast in 2025.
Gaga’s powerful performance, filmed on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, served as a heartfelt tribute to the victims of the New Year’s attack. Her emotionally charged rendition of “Hold My Hand,” originally from *Top Gun: Maverick*, aired just before the Super Bowl kickoff and captivated millions of viewers. Her ability to blend artistry with social significance earned her widespread acclaim, ultimately leading to her Emmy win.

This Sports Emmy joins Gaga’s impressive collection of 14 Grammy Awards and a 2018 Academy Award for Best Original Song for “Shallow” from A Star Is Born. With only a Tony Award remaining to complete the EGOT, fans and industry experts are buzzing about her potential to claim the honour. Gaga’s theatrical background, including her Broadway aspirations, suggests a Tony may be within reach.
At the 2025 Sports Emmys, Gaga’s performance stood out among nominees like Evolution of the Black Quarterback, The Lionheart, and Noche UFC: For Mexico, For All Time. The ceremony, recognising excellence in sports broadcasting, highlighted Gaga’s unique contribution to the Super Bowl’s cultural impact.
