The Super Bowl is not just about touchdowns; it's a spectacle filled with music, celebrity appearances, and drama! Kickoff occurs at 23:30 GMT (18:30 EST) on Sunday, February 9, at the Superdome in New Orleans, where the Philadelphia Eagles face off against the Kansas City Chiefs. So, what should you watch for?
Rapper Kendrick Lamar is back for his second halftime performance, supported by SZA. Fresh off a Grammy win for "Not Like Us"—a diss track aimed at rival Drake—fans are wondering if he’ll perform it, especially after Drake’s recent defamation lawsuit. Will Lamar keep the beef alive on the biggest stage?
Meanwhile, there's major speculation around Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift after their high-profile relationship. With rumors swirling about a possible proposal, viewers will certainly watch closely once the game ends. It's Kelce’s chance to secure his fourth Super Bowl ring, potentially sealing his legacy in the NFL!
The ad breaks will also be a highlight, as companies pay millions for air time. This year, David Beckham stars alongside Matt Damon in a funny beer ad that reveals a long-lost twin twist. Other big names in ads include Sydney Sweeney for Hellman’s and Gordon Ramsay promoting cookware.
In politics, Donald Trump is set to make history as the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl. Following past criticism of the NFL, his presence will be closely monitored as he gives an interview during the pre-game show.
This year also brings a shift in the NFL’s approach to social justice slogans, moving from "End Racism" to "Choose Love" and "It Takes All of Us," reflecting recent tragedies in the country.
Before the game, Grammy winner Jon Batiste will perform the national anthem—betters will be watching closely for timing and any fluffed lyrics.
