What celebs were doing at Super Bowl
Spotted at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami: Video of Beyonce and Jay-Z sitting while Demi Lovato sang the national anthem has surfaced. TMZ posted the video Sunday of the couple sitting along with daughter Blue Ivy. Jay-Z, a co-producer of the halftime show featuring Shakira and Jennifer Lopez, is one of the biggest supporters of Colin Kaepernick, who sparked a fissure in the NFL when he decided to kneel when the national anthem was played before games to protest the killings of blacks by police officers.
Paul McCartney and DJ Khaled also attended the game. DJ-producer Diplo and rapper Lil Nas X, who stars in a Super Bowl commercial for Doritos, chatted in a Hard Rock Stadium suite while watching the game. The pair, both sporting large cowboy hats Sunday, collaborated on a remix of “Old Town Road,” which is the longest-running No. 1 song in the history of Billboard’s Hot 100 chart.
Lady Gaga said before the game that she didn’t want to hear any lip-syncing during the halftime show. Darius Rucker agreed. “I’m with her,” he said before his tailgate performance Sunday. “We never had to do lip syncing where I was lip syncing; we had to do a couple shows where the background music was there, but I got to sing, we all got to sing,” he explained. “Especially big dance shows and everything like that, I understand it, but it’s not for me. That’s why people come to see me. Ain’t nobody coming to see me dancing.”
