At the time of writing, the Los Angeles Rams and the Cincinnati Bengals were announcing the player names taking the field for the Super Bowl LVI. The kick-off was minutes away, but what mattered most to the fans at that point on social media was the halftime show. If it was the Weeknd who had Tampa Bay roaring to his medley last season, then it's a string of big names this time around.

Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, and Kendrick Lamar are all set to perform at the SoFi Stadium. This line-up had fans amped. Some were in for the game. "YALL READY FOR THE HALFTIME SHOW WHILE BENGALS WRECK THE RAMS #SBLVI," one of the fans remarked. This was seconded by another who wrote, "Halftime show first. Game afterwards. #SBLVI."
