Halftime show
Traditionally, NFL games are known for their pre-game and halftime attractions, including the performance of the United States national anthem and big shows in the middle of the games. The Super Bowl, the NFL’s grand final, is famous for its halftime show, attracting large audiences and multi-million dollar sponsorships. However, this will be the first time an event of this magnitude will take place in Brazil.
Anitta and the NFL
Anitta, who already has some connections to the world of American football, was mentioned in 2022 as the affair of Tyler Boyd, former player of the Cincinnati Bengals, who competed in the Super Bowl that year. More recently, rumors have indicated a relationship between the singer and Justin Jefferson, wide receiver of the Minnesota Vikings and considered one of the best in the position in the NFL.
2024/25 Season
The 2024/25 NFL season begins on September 5th, with the Kansas City Chiefs, the current champions, facing the Baltimore Ravens. The Super Bowl is scheduled for February 9th, 2025, at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans. Miley Cyrus is one of the artists rumored to be in the running for the halftime show of that edition.
