Young artists should study Usher’s Super Bowl performance
I was a little nervous at the start of the Usher performance. The field at Super Bowl LVII had been criticized, and the one at this year’s game took out Dre Greenlaw in the first half while he was simply trying to run out onto the field. Fortunately, Usher’s lower extremities held up as he glided ac...
I rewatched the Nipplegate halftime show for the first time in 20 years and it was magnificent

These are the best Super Bowl halftime shows of all time
It’s hard to know whether the ads or the halftime show has become the bigger attraction of the Super Bowl. It feels like the combination of the two has made the game ancillary. Certainly, nothing exemplifies the bombast and ridiculousness of the occasion more than the halftime show, with a two-hour ...
The Super Bowl halftime show trailer almost makes you want to see it at a movie theater
For everything that the NFL did wrong with the Atlanta halftime show three years ago, they are trying to make up for it in a big way. When it first announced the Super LVI halftime show lineup of Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, Kendrick Lamar, and Eminem, it was clear what the league is going fo...

Nothing compares to Prince (and the Purple Rain) at Super Bowl XLI
Few performances during the intermission of a sporting event have come close to feeling like a truly artistic display, but one stands out above them all. Fourteen years ago today, Prince delivered the most iconic Super Bowl halftime show we have ever seen. On Feb. 4, 2007, at Hard Rock Stadium in Mi...
The most scandalous things to happen at the Super Bowl
The NFL wants you to watch the game on the field, but sometimes the most memorable things about the Super Bowl are incidental to the game. The media fanfare, halftime show, and colorful cast of hangers-on make for endless possibilities for moments the NFL would rather we forget....
Five artists who should play the Super Bowl halftime show
There is probably some esteem to be gained from being labeled A) a big enough act and B) just inoffensive enough to be tapped as a Super Bowl halftime performer. As for national TV, there is no bigger stage, in part thanks to the Grammys being the butt of jokes for three decades. So this isn’t a lis...
Rihanna Admits That She Turned Down The Super Bowl Halftime Show In Solidarity With Colin Kaepernick
It’s long been rumored that Rihanna declined an invitation to perform at the Super Bowl LIII halftime show because she was morally opposed to the league’s treatment of Colin Kaepernick. Now, thanks to an interview she gave to Vogue, we know that rumor to be true....
So, What's Really Happening Between Colin Kaepernick And Travis Scott?
During the Chargers-Patriots ass-beating on Sunday, the NFL officially announced what had been rumored for months: the Super Bowl XLIII halftime show will feature Maroon 5 as headliners, with supporting slots from Travis Scott and, in what amounted to the only surprising bit of the announcement, Out...

Report: Justin Timberlake To Perform With Prince Hologram At Super Bowl Halftime Show [UPDATE]
Justin Timberlake will share the Super Bowl halftime stage with a hologram of Prince, according to TMZ. This is so stupid. Better idea: watch the actual Prince’s Super Bowl halftime show, right now. Or, even better idea! Just air that performance AS the actual halftime show, tomorrow. I promise ever...
What Time Does 'What Time Does The Super Bowl Start?' Start?
Time is a social construct cooked up by humankind to impose some modicum of order onto an otherwise chaotic existence. But with that said, Super Bowl 52 will kick off this weekend. At some point. Who will win “the big game”? That’s not for me to say. What time does it start? Now there’s a good quest...
Someone Took Red Panda’s Unicycle
If you’re someone who goes to a lot of basketball games—professional or college—there’s a good chance you’ve seen Red Panda. Rong Niu, a native of China’s Shanxi province who performs as Red Panda, has an amazing act: She rides a seven-foot tall unicycle while balancing bowls on her head. She also k...
Shania Twain Should Do Every Halftime Show
Sled dogs. Snowy conditions. A Mountie escort. A 110-yard football field. The greatest country crossover artist in the world. Last night’s halftime show at the 2017 Grey Cup was not just the most Canadian thing ever, but also, simply, the best thing ever. While the Argonauts and Stampeders took shel...
