Going into Sunday's Super Bowl LIX, there are a lot of questions being asked: How will Kendrick Lamar perform his diss track against Drake "Not Like Us"–and will he include those lines? Will Taylor Swift make an appearance? What will President Donald Trump do?! So. Many. Questions!
Let's start with Kendrick Lamar, who is the headline halftime show performer this year. Considering his ongoing legal battle over some of his lyrics referencing Drake in his song "Not Like Us," there's a big question as to whether he'll perform the song in its entirety or edit it to save the NFL and Fox from another potential lawsuit.
Then there's the presence of Taylor Swift. She's there to support her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs' tight end Travis Kelce, but people are openly wondering whether she'll make an appearance in the halftime show. Lamar and Swift previously collaborated on her song "Bad Blood," so it's not a crazy idea, but to be real with you, I don't think it's gonna happen.
And then there's President Donald Trump, who is scheduled to be at the game (the first president to do so). Obviously, don't expect him and Swift to share a hot dog. (When she endorsed former Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump posted to Truth social, "I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT." So yeah, that's some bad blood he's not getting over anytime soon.) But beyond Swift, nobody really knows what Trump will do at the game. How will he react to the performance of the Black national anthem? How will he react to Kendrick Lamar? Will he do a dance?
Whatever happens, Newsweek will be all over it. And you can follow me at @HAlanScott for all the reactions to the performances, celebs in attendance and yes, the commercials. That's it for me today. I'll see you Monday with more entertainment news. Have a great one!

Bill Belichick, the six-time Super Bowl-winning coach, is in the headlines once again—not for his achievements on the field, but for his relationship with 24-year-old Jordon Hudson.
The couple's romance, which became public in June 2024, has drawn attention due to their 48-year age gap. Their relationship was recently the subject of jokes at the event, where Snoop Dogg took aim at their age difference.
