The Super Bowl halftime show has always been an exciting and coveted spot for musicians.

Before Bad Bunny takes center stage at the 2026 Super Bowl this weekend, we must remember our history.

From iconic reunions to infamous wardrobe malfunctions, to “Left Shark” and calling Drake a pedophile in front of millions of people in Kendrick Lamar‘s performance of “Not Like Us,”  the halftime show is basically where anything and everything can happen.

Watch With Us is looking back at the best Super Bowl halftime show performances of all time.

Bad Bunny is officially headlining the Super Bowl LX Halftime Show in 2026. In an Instagram announcement video shared on Sunday, September 28, the “Moscow Mule” hitmaker, 31, was seen dressed in a tailored suit as he gazed into the camera lens. As the video panned out, Bad Bunny (real name Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio) […]

10. Katy Perry — 2015

Considered one of the campiest Super Bowl performances ever, Katy Perry‘s Super Bowl show became an instant meme with the virality of “Left Shark,” but that wasn’t the only thing worthwhile about her memorable presentation. The eye-popping, colorful visuals replete with dancing palm trees, robot lions and beach balls with teeth made Perry’s show a true standout. Plus, we love a Missy Elliott cameo.

9. Rihanna — 2023

Rihanna‘s 2022 Super Bowl show marked a truly groundbreaking moment: the singer performed the entire show while pregnant and revealed her pregnancy live during the show. It was the first-ever Super Bowl pregnancy announcement, but in addition to making sure her performance went down in history, it was also a truly fantastic halftime show, in which Rihanna performed twelve hit songs with an impressively bare-bones production.

8. Paul McCartney — 2005

It’s hard to go wrong with a concert from a living legend doing some of his greatest hits, and that’s what Paul McCartney delivered at the halftime show back in 2005. The Beatle solo-performed songs like “Drive My Car,” “Live and Let Die” and “Get Back,” armed with his guitar in a very stripped-down performance.

Of course, McCartney doesn’t really need any showy glitz and glamor, and the image of tens of thousands of people singing along to “Hey Jude” was about as incredible as Lady Gaga jumping from the stadium roof.

7. Bruce Springsteen — 2009

Bruce Springsteen and his E Street Band took the halftime show stage in 2009 and brought just the right amount of energy that night, for a Super Bowl that would end in a photo finish for the winning Pittsburgh Steelers. Springsteen managed a full-stage, knee-first slide into the camera that brought the house down, before he belted out classics like “Glory Days” and “Born to Run.”

6. Lady Gaga — 2017

Lady Gaga‘s unforgettable 2017 halftime show performance began with a dive from the roof of NRG Stadium, and the acrobatics and high-wire acts didn’t let up from there.

Gaga had no special guests, just her and her incredible vocals, dance movies, multiple costume changes, an electronic keyboard and piano — plus, her positively immaculate vibes as one of our best pop star performers. Fittingly, Gaga ended her set with a well-deserved mic drop.

5. Madonna — 2012

The Queen of Pop really set the stage for the halftime show when her grand entrance imagined her as something akin to an Egyptian pharaoh, complete with an army of warriors pulling her to the stage while she sat atop a golden throne. From there, Madonna‘s performance was a bold, beautiful and boundary-pushing show that included guest star M.I.A. flipping off the camera. Other appearances included Nicki Minaj, LMFAO and Cee-Lo Green, the latter of whom helped Madge close with a riveting rendition of “Like a Prayer.”

4. Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, Kendrick Lamar — 2022

At the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, the best of 1990s hip-hop got together for the Super Bowl in 2022, on an ambitious stage that could accommodate multiple sets. The show had a record number of headliners, and if Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige and Kendrick Lamar weren’t enough, the show also featured Anderson .Paak and 50 Cent.

It was a legendary performance that had hits like Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” to Lamar’s “Alright,” and ultimately ended up taking home three Emmy Awards — including the first Super Bowl halftime show win for Outstanding Live Variety Special.

3. Michael Jackson — 1993

Michael Jackson‘s halftime show performance in 1993 laid the groundwork for all future halftime performances, a show-stopping production of spectacle that had Jackson “appearing” on two scoreboards at the Rose Bowl before emerging from beneath the stage.

Then, Jackson did something truly crazy: he stood silent and still for over a full minute before finally beginning his set. The gasps that can be heard from the audience indicate that even in the moment, everyone understood they were witnessing history in the making.

2. Beyoncé — 2013

Beyoncé made her Super Bowl halftime show iconic from the mere fact that she reunited Destiny’s Child on stage, but the performance was undeniable even without that ingenious gimmick. Queen B’s complex choreography and powerhouse vocals demonstrated what everyone already knew, but is always worth reminding: how utterly consummate a performer she is.

Making eye contact with the camera and thus millions of people the whole time, Beyoncé seemed to be channeling something otherworldly during her set — or maybe just excess electricity, as the Superdome lost power for 34 minutes shortly after she closed her show with “Halo.”

1. Prince — 2007

It’s likely that there will never be a Super Bowl performance as goosebump-inducing as Prince ending his set with “Purple Rain” during an actual rainstorm. It is possibly the absolute apex of Prince’s career, but the entire show was just as incredible as that one defining moment.

Prince belted out several fantastic covers like “Proud Mary,” “All Along the Watchtower” and the Foo Fighters’ “Best of You,” highlighting the pop icon’s vocals and guitar skills. While other musicians might have viewed a rainstorm as a major derailment, Prince leveraged it for a finish that lives on in history.

The 32-Year-Old Experienced A Personal Loss In January

This week, to almost no one’s surprise, Josh D’Amaro was named the successor to Bob Iger as CEO of The Walt Disney Company. He was voted to the position unanimously by the company’s Board of Directors and will begin on March 18, 2026.

While entertainment is Disney’s primary business, a lot of people forget that the majority of the company is invested in theme parks, resorts, and the cruise line, as well as movies, television, and streaming. D’Amaro was previously the head of Disney Experiences, the umbrella under which all these Disney properties fall.

Ever since Bob Iger announced weeks ago that he was stepping down, D’Amaro has been expected to be named his successor. This is despite criticism for decisions such as raising park prices. The only thing that’s really “news” about this part of the story is that it was announced so quickly. It wasn’t expected to be decided until later in the year.

The Real Boss Isn’t D’Amaro

The real news about this story is Dana Walden. She was the runner-up for the position after successfully managing first Fox Entertainment and later Disney Entertainment. Although she wasn’t awarded the top position, she was promoted to President and Chief Creative Officer of The Walt Disney Company.

This means she oversees Disney movies, cartoons, and streaming shows. She has always been in charge of television, including ABC and ABC News, but now her role has been expanded to include all Disney output. She reports directly to D’Amaro.

One area of Disney that Walden will not have creative control over is Lucasfilm. Dave Filoni and Lynwen Brennan are responsible for all things Star Wars, with Disney only managing marketing and distribution for the film studio. The company will also not deviate from serving in the same capacity for Marvel Studios, with Kevin Feige continuing to serve as President there.

Disney’s New Entertainment Head Is Deeply Involved In Politics

Walden has occasionally found herself caught up in political turmoil, which some have blamed for her being passed over as Disney’s first female CEO.

She publicly supported Kamala Harris and appeared in photographs with the Presidential candidate. However, she was also the executive who made the decision about pulling Jimmy Kimmel after the ABC night show host made inferences about the Charlie Kirk shooter.

This move was criticized as bowing to pressure from the FCC and censoring free speech because of criticism of President Trump and his base. Kimmel was eventually reinstated through Walden’s efforts and negotiation with the FCC and has returned to television to freely talk about our fascist government.

Although Walden has had to navigate issues like the Jimmy Kimmel affair, it is fair that she wasn’t promoted to CEO of the entire company. Her experience as Co-Chairman of Disney Entertainment is substantive, but it doesn’t quite add up to D’Amaro’s as former Chairman of Disney Experiences, nor has she been with the company for as long as his 28 years. The promotion she received, however, is a consolation prize for her work and sets her up to perhaps be D’Amaro’s successor if his tenure lasts as long as those of his predecessors.

Disney’s Rotating CEO Problem

The last two CEOs of Disney, Bob Chapek and Bob Iger, served for only three years apiece, as the company was led into rising streaming prices, lackluster movies, and other financial failures, such as the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser hotel. Chapek was handpicked by Iger to replace him in 2020, but did such a terrible job that Iger had to come back in 2022.

D’Amaro is also a protégé of Iger’s at a time when Disney desperately needs to change course. The hope is that he won’t turn out to be another Chapek and that Iger chose better this time. If not, we may be back in three years to break the news of Walden’s promotion to CEO.

Bridgerton author Julia Quinn broke her silence on concerns that possible changes in future seasons could include important book characters — and leads — being recast.

“I don’t necessarily know how they’re gonna spin it or write it or what they’re going to keep and change,” Quinn said during an exclusive interview with Us Weekly pegged to her partnership with Spotify, teasing Eloise’s (Claudia Jessie) upcoming season of the hit Netflix series.

Quinn added that she’s excited to see her novel To Sir Phillip, With Love come to life.

“I love her story,” she added about Eloise’s romance with Phillip (Chris Fulton). “He’s got two kids who she has got to wrangle, which is awesome. The fact that Eloise is going to have an instant family is awesome. His twins are pretty ruthless to her so I hope they keep stuff like that in.”

When asked whether Fulton — who appeared in seasons 1 and 2 — would reprise his role or if a new actor would be brought in, Quinn noted that she doesn’t know the plan after changes have been made in other adaptations.

Quinn also addressed the chances of younger siblings Hyacinth (Florence Hunt) and Gregory (Will Tilston) being played by other actors by the time it’s their turn to be at the center of their own seasons.

“It’s funny because they were, like, 12 and 13 when they started. If you asked me that back then [about the same actors playing them as adults], I’d be like, ‘I don’t know.’ But when I saw them again at the premiere, they were both drinking wine,” Quinn told Us. “They’re both 18 now and Will was there with his girlfriend.”

The author pointed out that there were still a few years before It’s In His Kiss and On the Way to the Wedding will be featured with their own seasons.

“[Showrunner] Jess [Brownell] has said the next two seasons will be either Eloise and then Francesca or Francesca and then Eloise, which makes sense. It takes a few years to film, so by the time we get to Hyacinth and Gregory, the actors are going to be well into their 20s,” Quinn explained. “So I think it’ll probably be OK. Will it be weird that we knew them when they were 12? We see child stars grow up all the time.”

She continued: “As a writer, it was hard to write those two books at first. I really had to let them grow up in my mind a bit and that was hard for both of them. I was really glad it took several years — but even so — I can’t remember how much time passed in the writing. I really had to let them grow up. It was tough.”

Quinn said there’s a lot for fans to look forward to, adding, “With Gregory, there’s that whole classic Regency hero who doesn’t want to get married. I was like, ‘But here’s this guy who’s now seen seven brothers and sisters fall in love. Why would he think that?’ So his story is very different. He’s desperate to fall in love. He’s this total romantic and he’s so excited to fall in love. He falls in love with the wrong person to start out with.”

Based on her book series, Bridgerton centers around the different members of a wealthy family as they each search for love in 19th century London. Season 1 centered around Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor) and Simon Basset (Regé-Jean Page), who were the leads of the first book, The Duke and I.

Season 2 took inspiration from The Viscount Who Loved Me, which followed Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey) as he found love with Kate Sharma (Simone Ashley). Despite Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson) being the subject of the third novel — An Offer From a Gentleman — his love story with newcomer Sophie (Yerin Ha) wasn’t explored until season 4.

As soon as Netflix debuted Bridgerton, fans became invested in the stories still yet to be told. Based on Julia Quinn‘s novels of the same name, the series began with the love story of Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor) and Simon Basset (Regé-Jean Page). Season 2 of Bridgerton told the story of Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey) […]

The third season instead focused on Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) and Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) as seen in Quinn’s book Romancing Mister Bridgerton. Brownell recently confirmed that Eloise and Phillip Crane or Francesca (Hannah Dodd) and Michaela (Masali Baduza) are next in line.

Off screen, Quinn is launching her JQ Editions to recommend similar historical romance novels.

“I get so many readers who want to know, like, ‘What do I read after Bridgerton?’ And, ‘I’m new to historical romance, and what should I read?’ And now I can be like, ‘This. This is what you should read. These are my very favorite books,’” she shared. “I do recommend books on social media. But this one, it’s going to be six books a year to start out. So these are the top, these are the very, very best. This is me saying, ‘This is the one you should read and I’m mailing it to your house.’”

The famed author is also partnering with Spotify to promote the streamer’s first-of-its-kind Page Match, where readers can connect physical and e-books to audiobooks on Spotify with a single scan.

“My jaw dropped,” Quinn said of seeing the feature for the first time. “I know so many people who have one book that they read and one book that they listen to because they read in bed and they listen to things at the gym. And now, with the Page Match, you can go back and forth seamlessly. You can stay with one book, which I think is incredible for people like me, who don’t split their attention very well.”

Bridgerton returns with the second part of season 4 on Thursday, February 26. All of the Bridgerton audiobooks are available in Spotify Premium.

GloRilla still doesn’t look fazed or pressed to respond to her sister Victoria Woods. Glo recently popped out to support her man Brandon Ingram at one of his games, and the vibes gave very much too busy boo-lovin’ and not worried about a thing, okay!

GloRilla Chooses Courtside Kisses Over Family Commentary

Roomies, GloRilla is staying unbothered through the family drama. The rap star recently pulled up to one of Brandon Ingram’s Toronto Raptors games, and the love was definitely in the air — so much that it landed courtisde as they ended up sharing a sweet kiss mid-game. Glo served a look while holding down her bae, rocking a sweatsuit with a diamond choker chain, face beat, hair laid, and lip gloss popping, but that didn’t stop Brandon from leaning in for a smooch.

Did Glo’s Sister Really Get Cash From Tory Lanez?

Glo popped out to Brandon’s game just days after her sister aired her out on during a TMZ interview for not supporting their family. Victoria, aka Scar Face, told TMZ all she wanted was for Glo to give her and their siblings $2,500. Then on Friday, Feb. 6, Scar Face shared a Facebook post claiming Tory Lanez came through with the cash. She posted photos of an alleged Instagram DM with Tory that said, “From Tory: if ur actually f****d up and really tripping about 2500.. I’l send it to u gang … I kno how it feels to not have s**t while needing it .. I hope God blesses u.” Then another screenshot of their DM showed a $2,500 Apple transfer.

In the caption, Scar told her followers Tory didn’t want her spilling tea about him helping out, but she appreciated him holding her down. “He didn’t want me to post this but ya boy heard about the situation all the way in jail Tory Lanez thank you.”
