Lady Gaga Channels Community with ‘Won’t You Be My Neighbor?’ Cover in Rocket and Redfin‘s Super Bowl LX Teaser
In a season when the Super Bowl is as much about cultural moments as it is about football, Rocket and Redfin are stepping onto the field with something unexpectedly tender. Their newly unveiled teaser for Super Bowl LX signals a campaign rooted not in spectacle, but in sentiment—one that reimagines Won’t You Be My Neighbor?, the gentle anthem made famous by Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, through the unmistakable voice of Lady Gaga.
It is Redfin’s first-ever appearance during the Big Game in its 20-year history, and the choice feels deliberate: an arrival marked by intimacy rather than bravado. Anchored in themes of home, community, and human connection, the campaign positions housing not as a transaction, but as a shared emotional experience. Gaga’s performance—warm, vulnerable, and quietly powerful—breathes new life into a song that has always spoken to belonging. Few artists are as naturally aligned with its ethos. Over the course of her career, the 14-time Grammy winner has built a legacy around radical empathy, individuality, and emotional truth—values long embodied by Fred Rogers himself.

The full expression of the campaign will unfold in a 60-second commercial debuting during the Super Bowl, a cinematic vignette that tells a deeply human story. Music becomes the connective tissue, a universal language inviting viewers to reflect on how we show up for one another in the places we live—and how the simple act of being a good neighbor can be quietly transformative.
“This campaign was created with a deep sense of purpose and a belief in what brings people together,” said Jonathan Mildenhall, Chief Marketing Officer at Rocket Companies. “America is at its best when we are neighborly, when we look out for one another and feel connected to the people around us. This work is about reviving belief in the American Dream and reminding people that finding a home and a community is still possible.”
That belief is not without precedent. Last year, Rocket’s Own the Dream Super Bowl campaign extended beyond the screen and into the stadium itself. As viewers watched at home, fans inside Caesars Superdome were invited into a live singalong of John Denver’s Take Me Home, Country Roads. When the commercial ended, the broadcast seamlessly returned to the stadium—song still echoing—transforming a 60-second spot into a collective, unforgettable moment. The campaign went on to earn a Cannes Gold Lion in 2025, rack up nearly 250 million social views, and send the decades-old anthem back up the Billboard charts. It was a reminder, both subtle and profound, of why the idea of home still holds such power.
This year’s narrative builds forward, shifting from the journey home to the place we arrive together. By bringing Redfin into the Super Bowl conversation for the first time, Rocket widens the lens—from a single front door to an entire neighborhood—celebrating the shared humanity that turns a location into a community.
“Mr. Rogers was for generations a heartfelt presence for children and families all over the world,” Gaga shared. “I was honored to be asked by Rocket and Fred Rogers Productions to reimagine his beloved classic Won’t You Be My Neighbor? for Rocket’s Super Bowl spot. I hope you sincerely enjoy this as much as I did, recreating it with fellow musicians and friends Alex Smith and Benjamin Rice.”
The announcement arrives on the eve of another milestone moment for Gaga. Heading into the 2026 GRAMMYs, she is nominated for seven awards, including Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album for MAYHEM, along with multiple nods for Abracadabra and Disease. She is also recognized in the Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album category for Harlequin. Last month, she unveiled LADY GAGA IN HARLEQUIN LIVE–ONE NIGHT ONLY, a cinematic performance film captured at The Belasco, preserving an intimate, one-night-only show and offering fans a rare window into her artistry.
In an era saturated with noise, Rocket and Redfin’s Super Bowl moment feels strikingly quiet—and all the more powerful for it. A song, a neighbor, a sense of home. Sometimes, that’s all it takes.
