Super Bowl 60 was a star-studded event with Chris Pratt and Jon Bon Jovi introducing the teams. Bad Bunny's halftime show celebrated Puerto Rican culture with appearances by Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin. The performance featured Puerto Rican imagery and a real-life wedding. Green Day delivered a tribute to the NFL championship's 60th anniversary with a mix of hits. Brandi Carlile and Charlie Puth performed patriotic songs, while Coco Jones opened with "Lift Every Voice and Sing." Celebrities like Travis Scott, JAY-Z and Brad Pitt were spotted at Levi's Stadium, adding to the excitement of the event.
Brandi Carlile plans to perform “America the Beautiful” live at the Super Bowl, without prerecorded tracks. She says she believes audiences deserve the same risk they take daily. Carlile, along with Charlie Puth and Coco Jones, will perform before kickoff. Carlile emphasizes spiritual preparation for the challenging stadium acoustics. Jones will sing “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” focusing on discipline and repetition. She values sound monitoring and advice from Alicia Keys. Puth, performing the national anthem, approaches it as both producer and vocalist, emphasizing restraint. Carlile sees the Super Bowl as preparation for her upcoming Human Tour.
Bad Bunny says he wants to bring his culture to his Super Bowl halftime show Sunday. He will highlight Latin identity at America’s most-watched event. The Grammy winner revealed some details Thursday during an interview in San Francisco, but he won't provide any spoilers. The conversation was broadcast on Apple Music and social media. Bad Bunny recently won Album of the Year at the Grammys, marking the first time an all Spanish-language album took the top prize. The Super Bowl will be held Sunday at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara. The Seattle Seahawks will face the New England Patriots.
