Four years after the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers during the 2020 Super Bowl in Miami, the two teams are against each other again for Super Bowl LVIII this time at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
During the big game, many viewers at home took to social media to discuss the most talked-about moments on screen and off.
Taylor Swift had quite a few meme-able moments. For instance, viewers loved when she proceeded to chug her drink after she was shown on screen during the game.

While Bieber didn’t end up taking the stage for a rendition of “Somebody to Love,” Usher was joined by many other icons: Alicia Keys, H.E.R., Lil Jon and Ludacris.

Usher opting to execute a set that focused squarely on a bygone era of showmanship is why he’s in a league of his own. The mic was on. No track. A skate sequence. Fluid choreography. He took his time onstage and it was exquisite. #Usher #SuperBowl

Sure enough, Queen Bey updated her website to share that “Act II” would be dropping on March 29. She also teased two new tracks, “Texas Hold ‘Em” and “16 Carriages.”
