Though people might be gathering around their TV screens to watch the San Francisco 49ers take on the Kansas City Chiefs for Super Bowl LVIII tonight, much of the discussion about advertisements, on-field plays, unexpected moments and celebrity appearances will be happening online.
From fans anticipating a possible Justin Bieber appearance to Jason Kelce chatting with Ice Spice, the best memes and internet moments of the night are on our radar, and we’ll be explaining them along the way.
Hope for a Justin Bieber cameo
Fans have been buzzing about a potential appearance by Justin Bieber during Usher’s Super Bowl halftime show. Usher was Bieber’s mentor at the beginning of his career, and the two collaborated on the song “Somebody to Love” in 2010. A guest appearance from Bieber hasn’t been confirmed — he was spotted in Las Vegas with the Kardashians — but social media users have been joking about how they hope to see the singer don a purple hoodie as he did in the 2000s.

Taylor Swift made it to boyfriend Travis Kelce’s big game with plenty of time to spare — and celebrity pals in tow.

Viewers streaming the Super Bowl on Paramount+ joked about how they had trouble with their feeds frequently pausing and crashing, using memes to express their frustration.
