In the event of America’s most watched annual broadcast, the principle highlight involved the Kansas City Chiefs’ victory over San Francisco’s 49ers at the football championship. Among the masses of entertainment offered to its viewers, the Super Bowl LIV 2020 also presented the infamous half-time show. The show was performed by Jennifer Lopez and Shakira, as well as surprise guest performances from Bad Bunny and J. Balvin.

It was announced that this year’s Super Bowl half-time show would be included in NFL’s first-ever visual album, Super Bowl LIV Live. The album is set to encompass all the entertainment that occurred throughout the game, including the National Anthem performed by Demi Lovato.

However, it was in the infinite sequence of commercials shown in amongst the game, where there remained an abundance of celebrity cameos. Celebrities included Bill Murray, Kanye West, Ellen DeGeneres, Jason Momoa, Post Malone, Lil Nas X, Maisie Williams and Kim Kardashian to name a few.

Super Bowl fans were also given glimpses of new teasers and trailers from upcoming projects, such as the Fast & Furious 9, the new James Bond film No Time to Die and Disney’s live action film Mulan.

Super Bowl advertisements have become ever iconic due to their incredible production values and cinematographic quality. For adverts to be displayed to the estimated 100 million viewers during the Super Bowl LIV, it was reported that for a 30 second slot, advertisers were required to disperse around $5.6 million USD.
