Super Bowl Halftime Show: A Cultural Phenomenon
The Super Bowl Halftime Show has evolved into a major cultural event, often overshadowing the game itself. In 2024, Usher attracted an astounding 180 million viewers, marking a historic high. Initially launched in 1967 with the Green Bay Packers vs. Kansas City Chiefs, the halftime show began as a patriotic display featuring marching bands and dancers. Over the years, it has transformed into a star-studded spectacle with performances from icons like Michael Jackson, Beyoncé, and Rihanna, whose shows have significantly boosted their music sales.
The production behind these performances is immense, often costing millions and involving hundreds of crew members. While the halftime show has become a staple in pop culture, questions remain about who will headline next and how the event will continue to evolve.
