Memorable Superbowl LII Halftime Show Becomes An Internet Sensation

Written by: Lauren Groff 

With Tom Brady bringing home a sixth studded Super Bowl ring, the New England Patriots overpowered the Los Angeles Rams with a score of 13-3 on Sunday, Feb. 3. However, much of the media surrounding the game was not around the game itself, but the highly anticipated halftime show. Musical acts Maroon 5 and Travis Scott were set to take the stage, as rapper Cardi B. notably declined the opportunity in support of Colin Kaepernick's political activism. All eyes were set on the screen as Maroon 5’s lead singer Adam Levine took the stage. Then, an unexpected twist: beloved Spongebob Squarepants and crew made a cameo from the internet-famous “Sweet Victory” in the show. Fans were delighted to see the tribute to Spongebob creator Stephen Hillenburg, who passed away unexpectedly due to ALS in November of last year.
