Super Bowl 2024: Halftime Show welcome
Hello and a very warm Super Bowl Halftime Show welcome to our live build-up, coverage, and reaction blog, that will run from now until, well, until you all disappear because you’ve had enough. I, for one, am in it for the long haul. Pizza order in, refreshments cooled, morning appointment with the finger rheumatologist booked.
Some would say that the focus should be on the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers who are currently gearing up for a gridiron showdown in Super Bowl LVIII – Dane and Jen are bringing you their inimitable chat on that here – but the real MVPs on this feed are not the players on the field but the Halftime Show maestros plotting a musical spectacle to turn even the heads of gladiator-fanatics in Rome’s Colosseum 18 centuries ago. Sure, touchdowns and tackles are cool, but have you seen a pop sensation rise from the stage like a phoenix, surrounded by pyrotechnics that make Fourth of July fireworks question their life choices?
It’s a battle between end zones and high notes, pigskins and sequins, and we all know where the real championship ring is won: the halftime stage. The Chiefs and 49ers get a chance to shine every single year, and have had this option for several decades, but our headline act for the gap those guys leave between halves likely has just one opportunity to go down in the annuls of entertainment history.
Pass the nachos, cue the glitter cannons, and may the best performer steal the show, potentially on a pair of skates. Right here, it’s tunes over touchdowns, although I can’t guarantee there won’t be an overlap on the shoulder pads fashion choice…
