AceShowbiz - Is one of "The Simpsons" writers psychic? After eerily foreseeing Donald Trump's presidency in a 2000 episode, the show apparently predicted Lady GaGa's Super Bowl halftime performance five years ago. A 2012 episode of the long-running animated series featured the singer doing high-flying stunt.
In the season 23 finale titled "Lisa Goes Gaga", GaGa comes to Springfield to perform a show, flying over the crowd in a harness while wearing a silver outfit. The sequence resembles the "Poker Face" hitmaker's stunt at the Sunday, February 5 show, during which she was suspended by cables over the stage while wearing a sparkling jumpsuit.
Several fans quickly pointed out the similarities. "The Simpsons predicted the Super Bowl omg I AM SHOOK !!!" one Twitter user wrote.

Some others compared GaGa's stunt to that of Spongebob SquarePants in "The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie" in 2004. "Spongebob did it first," someone posted on Twitter with side-by-side pictures of GaGa and the iconic yellow character.
