The event will be taking place at the Raymond James Stadium
in Tampa, Florida. The stadium is the home ground of Tampa Bay Buccaneers,
who’re gearing up to take on the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. It’s going to be
the first time a team will be playing in their home ground at the Super Bowl, nationwide.
The most anticipated sports event is all set to kick off as
scheduled with strict Coronavirus protocols. Around 22,000 sports-freaks and
admirers are allowed to attend the event, along with 7,500 vaccinated
health-professionals, in case anything goes haywire.
Just like always, fans will not only witness the most
exciting American football competition but also a number of electrifying
halftime performances by some brilliant celebrities. We have seen Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, and Katy Perry charging the crowd at previous Super Bowl events.
Here’s everything you need to know about the event and the
five promises we look forward to on February 2021:

Sports freak or not, half-time performances are something we
all look forward to. It feels like it was just yesterday when two divas – Shakira
and Jennifer Lopez – rocked the world by their amazing half-time performances
at the event last year.
Fans are expecting something similar in this year’s event,
too.
The Weeknd is already onboard as this year’s Super Bowl
halftime performer. The Starboy singer
is ready to take on the popular stage and pump up the spirit of attendees with
his famous numbers like “I Can’t Feel My Face,” “In Your Eyes,” and “I Feel It
Coming.”
Last month, the Canadian singer (real name Abel Tesfaye)
made the news for his shocking face transformation in the latest music video
“Save Your Tears.” Thankfully, it was just for the video and not for a lifetime!
But it does indicate that nobody can do surprises better than The Weeknd! So,
let’s see what the singer has in-store for us at the event!
The Weeknd has been the center of controversies because of
his bold stance against Grammy Awards. Despite dropping a hit album “After
Hours” in 2020, the singer has not been nominated for the upcoming Grammys. The
30-year-old singer threw a major rant over social media, accusing the Awards of
“remaining corrupt.”
Later, the Grammys’ President responded to the
accusations: “We understand that The Weeknd is disappointed at not being
nominated. I was surprised and can empathize with what he’s feeling.”
Anyways, this incident didn’t stop him from winning the
hearts of his fans. The singer has already started teasing about his big
performance at the the event, giving a glimpse at what is coming to the
halftime show. He uploaded his new Pepsi’s advert on his Twitter Account, which
features fans singing his popular number “Blinding Lights.”
In November, he broke the news about his performance at
Super Bowl 2021 to his fans on social media. He wrote, “I am humbled, honored
and ecstatic to be the center of that infamous stage. We all grow up watching
the world’s biggest acts playing the Super Bowl and one can only dream of being
in that position.”
There are also going to be some surprising guest performances at the event… Meanwhile, watch this mind-blowing performance by Lady Gaga at 2017’s Super Bowl.
And Katy Perry’s at 2016’s event:
Amanda
Gorman will be performing at the Super Bowl!
Amanda Gorman will be the first performing poet at the major
sports event.
As per the reports, she will be reciting her original
poems to pay a tribute to three legendary personalities who served on the
frontline during coronavirus pandemic such as educator Trimaine Davis, Marine veteran James Martin, nurse
manager Suzie Dorner. They will also be
participating in the coin toss activity on February 7th at Tampa,
Florida.
“These heroes are symbolic of the thousands of health-care
professionals, educators, and veterans throughout our country who continue to
care for, heal and support those in need during this pandemic,” The NFL said in
a statement.
The 22-year-old poet and activist made the headlines last
month following her recital of the poem “The Hill We Climb” at the US Presidential
inauguration 2021.
The young laureate is going big again with her upcoming
recital at Super Bowl 2021, where she will recite a poem honoring the trio for
their contribution in fighting against the pandemic prior to the game begins that will be broadcasted and streamed from the Raymond James Stadium.
