As you'll remember, Lady Gaga gave us all an absolutely STUNNING Super Bowl halftime performance this year. SO stunning, in fact, that she got SIX Emmy Award nominations for it! SIX!

Lady G is up for Outstanding Special Class Program (which she goes up against the Oscars AND TONY Awards for), as well as Outstanding Production Design for Variety, Nonfiction, Event, or Award Special, Outstanding Lighting Design/Lighting Direction for a Variety Special, Outstanding Sound Mixing for a Variety Series or Special, Outstanding Technical Direction, Camerawork, Video Control for a Limited Series, Movie, or Special, and Outstanding Music Direction. 

THAT'S A LOT OF OUTSTANDING-NESS.

To celebrate the six Emmy noms, Gaga posted a sweet message to social media, writing "I'm so proud of Haus of Gaga & the entire #SBHalftime team! We're so grateful to be nominated for 6 @TheEmmys the most ever! Thank you!!"

Gaga has previously had two Emmy nominations for her "Lady Gaga Presents the Monster Ball Tour: At Madison Square Garden" in 2011, and in 2015 was nominated for "Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga: Cheek to Cheek Live!" 

Even if she wins one of these six categories, Mother Monster will be one step closer to EGOT status, complimenting her six Grammy wins from over the course of her career. Fans will find out if Gaga will take home an Emmy during the 69th annual Primetime Emmy Awards, which airs on September 17th.

And like you really need reminding, but let's look at the facts: Gaga's Super Bowl performance had EVERYTHING. 

She had flames: 

She was AIRBORNE:

She played the piano...

... AND THE KEYTAR.

WHERE DO YOU EVEN GET THIS INSTRUMENT NOW?!

She had dance moves.

She had costume changes, and even her very own football team.

And finally, the most epic mic drops of mic drops EVER.
