Fans might have been surprised by the spot served up by Kanye West. In the localized ad, he referred to his e-shop, which at that moment included only one item. A white T-shirt with a black swastika. However, this year's Super Bowl also brought other surprises.
The popularity of this sports holiday for Americans matches Thanksgiving or Christmas. An evening full of cheering, friends, incredible show and tables groaning under the onslaught of goodies, that's the Super Bowl evening. Performances and events etch deeply into social memory. This year's show was watched by more than one hundred and twenty million viewers. Kanye West, Taylor Swift, but also Donald Trump shocked.
Super Bowl is the final match in the American football league. Both a sporting and social event, an incredible show! Whoever doesn't live it, as if they didn't exist.
To perform in the iconic halftime show is then a highly prestigious affair and is bestowed only on the best artists. In the past, for example, Michael Jackson, Rihanna, Lady Gaga and Eminem have performed there.
Thirty seconds of commercial spot broadcasted during the Super Bowl cost advertisers last year 7 million dollars, this year already 8 million dollars.
It is mainly used by commercial brands such as Oreo, Pringles, Mountain Dew, Doritos, or electric car manufacturers, and clips often feature show business stars such as Jenna Ortega, Beyoncé or Arnold Schwarzenegger. For companies ordering these advertisements, it is just more millions of dollars for acting fees specifically for these spots. Last year, even the Chinese company Temu bought their time, which attracted a lot of attention.

"So what's happening, guys. I spent all the money on advertising for these new teeth. So I had to record it again on an iPhone,"
he said. Then he stammered, "Ehm... ehm... go to yeezy.com."
Meanwhile, his e-shop currently only offers one piece of clothing, a t-shirt with a swastika. This excess follows his behavior in recent days when he continuously added anti-Semitic comments to the X network like on a conveyor belt along with calls for the liberation of P. Diddy.
Kanye West later verbally attacked Taylor Swift through this platform and continued to spread his anti-Semitic remarks before finally deactivating his X network account.
"It was very cathartic to use the world as a sounding board,"
West said in his last tweet before deactivating the account.
