Throughout the evening, each performance will go live on streaming platforms.
“Our team is constantly developing new and innovative ways for all fans to engage and feel personally connected to the Super Bowl halftime show,” said Brian Rolapp, NFL Chief Media and Business Officer. “The Live Visual Album allows fans to experience the greatness of the artists’ performance on Super Bowl Sunday across multiple platforms anytime, which further extends the excitement, conversation and life of the show.”
