13. Super Bowl halftime shows often puzzle and perplex many people.

Mon Feb 9, 2026, 02:27 PM

Monday

I can think of numerous examples from the past and I imagine you can as well.

One of the many admirable aspects of last night's performance was that it did not cater to non-fans - it was a sincere and authentic representation of this performer - yet at the same time the message was one of inclusion and celebration.

Very few Super Bowl halftime performances hit that balance. This one did, exceptionally well. It's probably why he's such a popular performer.
