Lady Gaga is teasing her fans with more information regarding her highly anticipated halftime show performance at Super Bowl LI on Sunday. Though not much has been revealed about the performance, Little Monsters can look forward to seeing Tony Bennett.

According to a tweet, Bennett will appear in a video countdown introducing Gaga.

Gaga collaborated with the jazz singer on the 2014 album, Cheek to Cheek, which later won a Grammy for best traditional pop vocal album. Shortly before the above tweet was posted, Bennett tweeted his support for Gaga’s big game performance, writing, “@ladygaga I know your Super Bowl halftime show will be original, of the highest artistry and spectacular….just like you. Love, Tony.”

According to PEOPLE, the duo spoke about the Super Bowl months ago. “She’s terrific. And she’s doin’ the Super Bowl, which she just announced publicly,” he told PEOPLE in October. “She says, ‘I want Tony Bennett on that stage,’ so that’s still a possibility, yeah. [Laughs.] We get along great.”
