Every February, The Super Bowl is one of the biggest events in the United States' TV calendar, and this year was no different. Celebrities flock to the game like it's an award show and they've received nominations. With the big game being at the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles this year, it was even more star-studded usual.
Whether the celebs managed to secure tickets to the game, or they were watching from the comfort of their own homes giving commentary on Twitter, they had plenty to say about this years spectacular show as well as giving fans plenty of content for memes!
With the game taking place at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, plenty of celebrities made it out to the game, and, of course, found the time to pose for photos together. Tickets for the yearly event are always in such high demand, and expensive too, so celebrities have an advantage in being able to get them. The Super Bowl crowd being littered with celebs is only natural.
Kendall Jenner hung out with Justin Bieber and his wife Hailey Baldwin, Pitch Perfect co-stars Rebel Wilson and Adam Devine re-united, and Doja Cat posted a snap with The Weeknd, DJ Khaled, and more with the simple caption "lol."
The usually clean-shaven star has only sported a small mustache in the past, so seeing him with a more developed one definitely caught people's attention.
Damon and Ben Affleck have collaborated plenty of times, but even Ben, who was in attendance with Jennifer Lopez, might have had a giggle at his friend's new look - Twitter certainly did!
Ye is currently embroiled in a messy public divorce with his ex, Kim Kardashian. Things heated up in the days preceding the Super Bowl, with both making Instagram posts about each other. Despite his attire, Ye was still spotted at the game alongside two of his kids and controversial NFL star receiver Antonio Brown.
Ye is probably used to the social media memes about him as it has been happening for the majority of his headline-grabbing career, even recently with memes about the oft-delayed DONDA album.
Popstar Jhene Aiko was set to perform "America The Beautiful" prior to kickoff, with singer Mickey Guyton handling the National Anthem. NBC had a bit of a mix-up, accidentally labeling Guyton as Aiko. It was a small error they apologized for and quickly corrected, but not before social media had some fun.
In a random surprise, The Rock got the game kicked off, operating similarly to a ringside announcer at a wrestling or boxing match. He did his best Michael Buffer impression, while players lined up behind him for the opening kick-off.
It definitely set the mood for the game, and Johnson was the perfect guy for the job. He has had many badass quotes in his career and is the perfect person to get fans hyped up, so this role was a natural fit.
The halftime show was one for the ages, with an all-star lineup consisting of Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, Mary J. Blige, Kendrick Lamar, and Eminem. It received near-universal acclaim, even being considered historic, due to it being the first-ever show led by hip-hop acts.
Los Angeles Lakers legend LeBron James made the trip down the road from the Crypto.com Arena (formerly the Staples Center) to the SoFi Stadium to catch the Super Bowl, and he was clearly enjoying the halftime show. Clips of the star on Twitter show him "living his best life" as he dances.
LBJ has already been involved in shows and films, so maybe his apparent dancing skills will help him land more roles.
50 Cent was a surprise guest who joined the stage, and his entrance stole the show. In a nod to his music video for "In Da Club," 50 came on stage suspended upside down. The internet had plenty of fun making memes about it, all in good fun, of course!
Much to the delight of the celebrities living in California, their hometown Los Angeles Rams took home the championship. A last-minute touchdown pass by eventual game MVP Cooper Kupp sealed the deal, and the celebration immediately began.
Among the exclamations of joy from celebs on Twitter, rapper Drake shared a thoughtful ode to the team on his Instagram, even managing to make his feelings rhyme.
Despite a heartbreaking loss to end a magical season, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow did get to live out one of his dreams. Burrow previously stated that Ohio native Kid Cudi was his go-to pregame playlist artist, so after the loss Cudi invited him on stage.
Losing the Super Bowl is a devastating feeling, but sharing the stage with one of your favorite musicians while they rock your jersey is a nice consolation.
