Yesterday, the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Fransisco 49ers made it to the Super Bowl on February 11th in Las Vegas.
So, United Airlines added some direct flights in honor of the players and one of the players’ girlfriends.
There are three flights leaving MCI, aka Kansas City, Missouri, and they are UA 1989 as if I need to explain that, UA 2287 in honor of Taylor Swift’s song and Travis Kelce’s jersey #, and finally US 1587 for Patrick Mahomes and Kelce.
I wonder how many people are going to try to get on UA !989! More than will get on the SF to Vegas flights UA 1995 and UA 1849. I am not going to research why those numbers are significant. All I care about are the Traylor ones!
Oh, and the singer won’t be on any of those flights. That is because she will most likely be doing a private flight from Tokyo to make it to the game in time. She has a concert in Japan on the 9th
Apple Music and the NFL announced this morning that Usher is headlining the Super Bowl LVIII Halftime Show on CBS on February 11th.
“Usher is the ultimate artist and showman. Ever since his debut at the age of 15, he’s been charting his own unique course. Beyond his flawless singing and exceptional choreography, Usher bares his soul,” said Jay-Z.
Usher hasn’t had a Top 10 hit on the Billboard 200 since 2012. So you have to wonder how many people rejected the offer before him. Considering U is the 21st letter in the alphabet. That is a lot of musicians.
Poor Vanilla Ice was so close to getting his big chance.
Ed Sheeran is one of the biggest Rock Stars in the World, so it would make sense that people would want him to do the Super Bowl Halftime Show.
One of those people is Andy Cohen, so the Sirius-XM host asked the singer if he would do it. And the answer is yes and no.
What? He would do it if he was a guest, but he would not do it by himself. Why? He said, “I don’t have pizazz.” “Like, all of these amazing performers [Prince, Michael Jackson, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, and Beyoncé]. I’m just not that. I’m not gonna have dancers on stage. I’m not gonna have fireworks and blah blah.”
As perfect as I think he would be, he is not wrong. You need to go big or go home. And he is not a go-big sort of guy.
He would be lame like Coldplay was when they got the gig. That band really needed Sheeran to save them. But it didn’t work out for whatever reason. That’s Sheeran almost joined them on the football field.
What a year Troy Kotsur is having. First, he won several awards, including an Oscar, for his role in CODA. And now, on Sunday, the Mesa native is going to sign the national anthem at the Super Bowl in Arizona.
“I’m going to play the character of Francis Scott Key, who wrote the national anthem,” Kotsur told 3TV/CBS 5. “And I plan to tell it from his perspective in the way that I’m signing it, so I really analyzed his history when he was writing this song so I am going to become like him and what he saw during the war.”
Kotsur wants young deaf kids to see his performance and know they can do anything he has done.
On Thursday, the NFL announced that they teamed up with Apple Music to sponsor the Super Bowl Halftime Show. Today, we found out who will be singing for their first joint show together.
So get the umbrella-ella-ellas ready because it is Rihanna. Seth Dudowsky, NFL Head of Music, said, “Rihanna is a once in a generation artist who has been a cultural force throughout her career. We look forward to collaborating with Rihanna, Roc Nation and Apple Music to bring fans another historic Halftime Show performance.”
They got it right because the new mom is going to hit out of the park. I know that is a baseball term, but it works here.
