Las Vegas, NV – Super Bowl LVIII drew attention not only for the thrilling action on the field but also for the highly anticipated commercials that ran during the game. With advertisers shelling out $7 million for each 30-second spot, the commercials were nothing short of extravagant, featuring major celebrities and grand spectacles.
One of the highlights was a witty and epic ad featuring Beyoncé for Verizon. The ad not only showcased the superstar’s humor but also teased her long-rumored country album, “Renaissance,” and two new singles, “Texas Hold ‘Em” and “16 Carriages.”
Other notable commercials included a heartwarming ad from Squarespace featuring Martin Scorsese and his daughter Francesca, a comical spot from Doritos Dinamitas featuring Jenna Ortega, and a clever ad from Skechers with the iconic Mr. T.
However, some ads faced criticism, such as one from American Values PAC, which recreated an iconic campaign ad of former President John F. Kennedy, drawing controversy due to its association with conspiracy theorist Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
The commercials not only provided entertainment but also sparked discussions and criticism on social media. Depicting a wide range of emotions and themes, these ads commemorated the spirit and imagination that Super Bowl commercials are known for.
