All over Twitter it is saying this was her baby #2 announcement.


I was very underwhelmed by that half time. She has an amazing voice but the "visual show" was meh. If you closed your eyes,you didn't miss anything.

I thought the visuals were the best part. Her dancing, singing and song choice were meh. The moving stages were cool.

Congrats to her if she’s pregnant with #2.

Ok that Miles Teller commercial with his wife was super cute. He’s on my imaginary hall pass list lol

Had to @ the entire thread now.

The hold music commercial? It's the best one so far.

Yes! I immediately googled because you could just TELL their chemistry and comfort with each other was genuine. 

ETA: it was their dog too ❤️

I loved the puffy outfits, they were like talented, sexy teddy bears.

I'm not watching the actual game because fuck football and the racist KC team name.

The Amazon dog commercial was great. So far the only one.

[neverfstop]

the erectile dysfunction vs. electric vehicle was just gross....

[jackie011]

Are we just conditioned to expect too much? We kept trying to predict various effects or surprise guests and none of that happened 🤷🏻‍♀️

[mrspez07]

Alright, the Sarah Maclachlan commercial was funny!

[bronxgirl]

I loved the T Mobile Tell Me More commercial that was just on. The Kelce brothers went to my high school so this has been a big deal for the school/ alumni, so that’s been fun. It’s been a good game with a lot happening. I liked Rihanna’s performance.

[heygrey]

Canada doesn't have the same commercials.

The Rhianna "is she or isn't she pregnant?" halftime was not my fav. I have low expectations for the halftime show, but I did not love it as a pregnancy announcement. It's put an awkward shadow over our friend group who watches together. I hate that something that should have been a neutral topic for people who are feeling sensitive about pregnancy and babies has become a negative.

[taratru]

I watched in India and all the commercials switched to soccer infomercial-type things. Missed the halftime show, but know all about Tottenham.

[meganew]

The refs sucked. The field was slippery as shit, which sucked for both teams. I’m glad if our Kielce didn’t win that at least his brother did. Go birds : (


I did love the half time show though.

[mrsukyankee]

I stayed up until 2.40am in London to watch some of the Eagles play. It was about when I went to bed when they started to struggle and I wasn't shocked that they lost, though shocked it was so close. The US has weird commercials - it's been a while since I paid attention to them (I rarely watch tv when I visit the US, so this was the first time I really noticed them in well over a decade).

This, so much this.  This one and the drew barrymore, I'll have what she's having, commercial is so gross.  Do these people need the money that bad to do these commercials and do the ad writers think that's what we actually want to see?  Ugh.

It was a cute commercial, but that meme (with the same hold music) has been pretty played out on the internet over the last few years.

[icedcoffee]

@@

Ok now that it’s confirmed I feel like I can be fully annoyed.

Maybe just because of my history and being that I’m obviously sensitive here I hate that she essentially turned the whole thing into a pregnancy announcement.

She should have made the announcement before the show.

I’ll never look at her the same.

Maybe this is flameful or I need to get over myself. Idk.



I obviously have some things to still work out personally. LOL

[eddy]

I loved Chris Stapleton for the anthem. I am a fan, but was like shrug to him singing at the beginning. I didn’t expect much. OMG it was amazing. I should have known better. Everything he sings is elevated.

[VillainV]

[mention]icedcoffee [/mention] it’s okay to feel whatever you’re feeling.

The flying was cool and obviously the dancers were great but the costuming sucked. Especially Rhianna’s. I was so distracted by the tarp draped over her. LOL. She’s beautiful and talented but this was just ok.

The big red coat she wore was apparently to honor Andre Leon Talley. pagesix.com/2023/02/13/rihanna-honors-andre-leon-talley-with-super-bowl-2023-halftime-look/

icedcoffee , the opposite flameful is that this announcement didn't phase me. However, I wasn't aware of the issues other women face on this subject if it wasn't for this board.

[konapoppy]

@@@

I totally understand feeling annoyed, especially those of us who went through IF.

At the same time, I’m trying to remind myself that she is truly just existing while pregnant. And she shouldn’t have had to announce or comment on it. I wasn’t watching the entire time, but she didn’t seem to do a Beyoncé announcement type move.

(Sorry for not tagging @ initially - I get confused once the thread is marked as @!)

This is a really good point.

[waverly]

I could be wrong, but I kind of felt that if she announced it before the media coverage would have been extremely over the top.

[pixy0stix]

@@@

I care in a way that I had an uncomfortable moment that only effected myself, and my husband, as we played the "is she pregnant or is that postpartum belly" game.

I dunno, she's pregnant and is existing/performing while pregnant. And I felt sorta bad, and it was fine in the way that all things pregnancy related are "fine".

[pugz]

I feel like the commercials were mostly meh. I did like the triangle one (doritos) and the amazon dog one.

[eddy]

I love the Dunkin commerical with Ben Affleck. Very cute
