A Brief History of Celebrities Attending the Big Game – W

Britney Spears and Steven Tyler during the Super Bowl XXXV Halftime Show

You don’t have to like football to watch the Super Bowl. And if you’re a celebrity, you don’t even have to like football to attend it. The sidelines have played host to all sorts of A-listers over the years, from exes like Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie to current couples like Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas. It’s also operated as a mother-daughter night out for Kourtney Kardashian and Kris Jenner, an unlikely girls night for Taraji P. Henson and Amy Adams, and probably a somewhat normal night for Mark Wahlberg. Some, like Hilary Swank, get in the element, while others—namely, Lady Gaga—make it clear they’ve never been the sporty type. Take a look back at games past ahead of Kendrick Lamar, Mary J. Blige, Dr. Dre, and Eminem, Snoop Dogg’s halftime show performances on Sunday. (Er, we mean ahead of the Los Angeles Rams facing off the Cincinnati Bengals on their home turf.)

To say that Kourtney Kardashian and Kris Jenner were in an entirely different sartorial era when they watched the Arizona Cardinals and Pittsburgh Steelers face off in 2009 may be an understatement.

Patriots fan Mark Wahlberg ended up missing out on his team’s 2017 comeback. As the actor later took care to clarify on Instagram, he left early because his son felt sick: “Doesn’t mean I don’t love my Patriots too! ❤”
