| Description: | The Super Bowl Halftime Show an unmistakably American media spectacle that is also globally relevant. The show uniquely merges different aspects of American culture, including music, sports, commerce, fashion, media, technology, politics, and more. Though the first Super Bowl audience in 1967 enjoyed a musical performance at halftime, it took decades for the show to become the big-budget, prime-time, live television event that we have come to expect. As the game itself became more culturally relevant, the standards for the performers and production value increased while the culture of celebrity changed. The Halftime Show is often a platform for social, political, and artistic statements and, consequently, a source of controversy. 亚洲通'll study the origins of the show, its evolving partnerships with the NFL and various corporate entities, and select scandals and triumphs that dot its history. By studying Halftime Shows, we can better understand pop culture in different points in American history as well as the societal factors that shaped it. |
