Ice Spice Watches In Amazement As Taylor Swift Chugs Her Drink While On The Jumbotron

by

Ice Spice was one of the many people at the Super Bowl on Sunday. However, she got one of the best seats in the house as she was next to Taylor Swift and even Lana Del Rey. Moreover, Mama Kelce was in the suite with the superstars, and it was truly an odd mix of people. Overall, this is typically the case at the Super Bowl. Although it was especially true this year as Swift is dating Travis Kelce. In the end, the Chiefs kept their good luck charm intact as they won the Super Bowl with a thrilling overtime drive.

With Taylor and Ice Spice at the game, both stars got their fair share of air time. If you were paying attention, there were all sorts of shots of the two enjoying their suite. However, there was one moment that was captured on the Jumbotron, in which Taylor Swift got into her frat boy bag. Below, you can see the artist chug her drink from start to finish. She did so with a friend and it looked very impressive. Perhaps the funniest part of all of this was Ice Spice who watched on in absolute amazement.

Taylor was definitely having the time of her life during the match, as was Ice Spice and everyone else in that suite.

However, the Chiefs are an incredible second-half team, and they showed out with a truly remarkable performance that will be remembered for years. They have won two Super Bowls in a row, and it is very clear that this team is officially a dynasty. You have to be impressed with everything that took place. Unless you are a Niners fan.

Kanye West Delivers Low-Effort DIY Super Bowl Yeezy Ad

by

Kanye West has been doing a lot as of late. Overall, he just dropped his new album Vultures which has finally made its way to all streaming services. Furthermore, he has been trying to bring back his Yeezy brand in full force. Of course, fans loved the Yeezy brand when he was with Adidas. However, he is on his own and has to prove himself as a designer. This has not been easy, but with some promotion here and there, the artist can certainly find new people to mess with his new clothes.

Well, last night he was presented with a phenomenal opportunity. It was the Super Bowl, and a 30-second ad would cost you $7 million. Overall, this is a lot of cash, however, Ye was clearly very interested in making that happen. Why not? Millions of people watch the big game and could be persuaded into buying his shoes. Below, you can find his Super Bowl ad. However, it is clear that he ran out of budget after buying the ad placement. We know this because the ad itself is as low-effort as it gets.

Subsequently, he urges fans to head over to Yeezy.com where he is selling shoes. Of course, he is talking about his Yeezy Pods which have proven to be extremely controversial due to their bizarre look. Either way, it was a huge look for Kanye, and the DIY aesthetic of the commercial proved to be the perfect viral marketing tactic.

It was a massive Super Bowl, and one that fans will remember for a very long time. You have to hand it to the Chiefs, who were simply fantastic in the big game.

by

Taylor Swift was a massive part of Super Bowl 58 and for good reason. Of course, she is currently dating Travis Kelce which has been a huge narrative this season. Although everyone who is not a Chiefs fan has hated the attention, others have enjoyed it. Overall, the Swifties have taken up football and have even begun watching New Heights just to get Taylor updates. Well, last night, the Swifties were in Kelce’s corner as he played against the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl. Despite being down 10 points in the first half, the Chiefs won 25-22, in overtime.

Overall, this was a game that had a lot of ups and downs. However, the overtime was spectacular. Moreover, Kelce came through with over 90 yards after not doing much in the first half. He played a phenomenal game and Swift was there to watch him. After the game, the two headed out to the club and as you can imagine, videos of this hit the internet. Below, you can see the two dedicating songs to each other. Furthermore, the two kissed to “Love Story” which was a nice way to cap things off.

Some thought that Kelce would propose to Taylor after the Super Bowl. However, it is probably too soon in their relationship for that to happen.

Drake Takes A Victory Lap After Winning Super Bowl Bet, Fans Call Him “Zesty” For It

by

Drake is someone who loves to wager whenever he has the chance. Overall, he had an amazing opportunity to do just that recently as it was the Super Bowl. However, instead of crafting a parlay like some people would do, he opted to do something else. He kept it simple and only bet on the Kansas City Chiefs to win. He bet over $1 million on the game which would ultimately double his money if they won. The rapper noted that he couldn’t bet against the Swifties, which is ultimately why he chose the Chiefs.

Last night, the big game was played and it was arguably one of the best Super Bowls ever. Sure, it was pretty boring in the first half, but the second half was elite as both teams went band for band. Eventually, the game went to overtime where the Chiefs were able to deliver a truly astounding win. Fans could not believe that Patrick Mahomes was able to take over and give himself a third Super Bowl win. That said, the win propelled Drake to a huge win on Stake, and he made sure to celebrate after the game.

In the clip above, Drake addresses one of the owners over at Stake, and how he wants his cash sooner rather than later. However, in true internet fashion, Drizzy was immediately called out for acting “zesty.” “Why he always reset to duck lips after uttering a word out,” one fan asked in the Akademiks comments section. “Bro I don’t think he joking anymore he’s really zesty,” said another. Needless to say, some fans out there are pretty ruthless as it pertains to the artist. No matter what, Drake just won over $1 million, so he is laughing at the haters.

For months, fans have been begging Beyoncé for the visuals for her Grammy Award-winning album, Renaissance. Today (February 11), during Super Bowl LVIII, the “Thique” singer finally delivered something for supporters to sink their teeth into.

Although the commercial wasn’t quite the visual the public was looking forward to, it confirms that the “Renaissance Era” is far from over. As Beyoncé takes a road trip back to her home state, Texas, she teases that something special is on the way.

So, what exactly should the Beyhive expect from their Queen Bey?

Is Beyoncé Dropping A Country Album In 2024?

Following the Easter eggs sprinkled into her 2024 Grammys wardrobe, it appears that Beyoncé is gearing up to drop a country album. But will it be released this year? Again, it seems that the answer is yes.

Based on the artwork, Renaissance Act II is scheduled to be released on March 29.

According to Pop Crave, the forthcoming album will feature 16 tracks. Of the records rumored to hit streaming platforms, the platform believes two songs are titled “Texas Hold’ Em” and “16 Carriages.” This wouldn’t be Beyoncé’s first venture into country music if you think back to her 2016 collaboration “Daddy Lessons” with The Chicks.

Beyoncé is known for her pop, R&B, and even rap records. But it looks like country music should brace itself for Bey’s formal entry.

Ben Affleck Launches His Music Career In A Super Bowl Ad For Dunkin – To The Dismay Of J-Lo, Fat Joe, And Jack Harlow

Ben Affleck Super Bowl Commerical 2024
Dunkin

Ben Affleck is trying his hand at being a pop star. The Air actor has let the “bored man in the world” headline get to him. To get his feet wet in the industry, Affleck didn’t have to travel far, given that his wife is pop music star Jennifer Lopez.

But as his “voice of reason,” Jack Harlow attempts to stop him from crashing Lopez’s studio session. However, as the Dunkin Super Bowl LVIII commercial shows, Affleck is too far gone. As Affleck interrupts what appears to be Lopez’s time in the office, working on This Is Me…Now, he’s met with hilarious stares of disapproval from Fat Joe, Matt Damon, and more. But Tom Brady approves.

Ultimately, the bulldozing didn’t work out in his favor, but Affleck isn’t going to give up without a fight.

So far, Lopez has shared two records from the forthcoming project, including the title track and “Can’t Get Enough” featuring Latto. Although Affleck hasn’t made an appearance on either, there are still eleven tracks to come from the body of work. Who knows, maybe Affleck made the final cut.

Watch Dunkin’s full commercial below.

This Is Me…Now is out 2/16 via Nuyorican Productions. Find more information here.

Jack Harlow is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
