3:33 PM PT -- Usher no fue a la capilla Little White Wedding en Las Vegas para casarse como tantas celebridades antes que él lo han hecho, pero lo hizo en otro lugar, y su madre estuvo ahí para ver que todo salga bien.
TMZ ha obtenido el certificado de matrimonio completo, y muestra al Sr. Raymond casado con Jenn en Vegas, que es, literalmente, justo al final de la calle y un poco menos conocido.
Se confirma que se casó el domingo, y su madre -Jonnetta Patton- fue su testigo. La ceremonia fue oficiada por el reverendo Ronald Joseph Pokrywka. Otro dato interesante... Usher parece estar reclamando Usher como su hogar permanente por ahora, mientras que Jenn sigue reclamando Atlanta. El certificado enumera a Usher como... Usher Raymond IV de Las Vegas Nevada.
Melody Willis-Williams, presidenta de Vegas Weddings, le dice a TMZ: "¡Felicidades a los recién casados! ¡Qué gran partido y la actuación de Usher fue fenomenal! Estábamos más que encantados de acoger en este día épico a Usher y a su nueva esposa. ¡Siempre seremos fans de Usher!"
Usher y su novia desde hace mucho tiempo -Jennifer Goicoechea- se casaron este fin de semana y lo hicieron el mismo día que actuó para el espectáculo de medio tiempo del Super Bowl.
El cantante dijo "Sí, quiero" el domingo, de acuerdo con el certificado de matrimonio de Usher, obtenido por TMZ. La fecha de la boda aparece como 11 de febrero 2024 y por ahora no hay más detalles disponibles.
No hay detalles de la hora en la que se casaron, presumiblemente fue después del espectáculo.
Recordemos que Usher había obtenido una licencia de matrimonio con Jenn el 8 de febrero -solo unos días antes del Super Bowl- y mientras que técnicamente tenía un año para hacerlo desde entonces, ahora está claro que sus corazones estaban en la misma sintonía.
Usher y Jenn han sido pareja desde el 2019 y le han dado la bienvenida a dos niños juntos.
Los recién casados estaban recibiendo un montón de elogios y felicitaciones en el Super Bowl después de la fiesta y como resultado, terminaron como marido y mujer.
Al principio, era difícil ver si estaban luciendo sus anillos de boda, pero finalmente se pudieron ver brillando en sus dedos anulares durante la noche.
Este es el tercer matrimonio de Usher, él ha estado casado dos veces antes, con Tameka Foster y Grace Harry, respectivamente y comparte hijos con la primera.
Nada más que decir aquí que, ¡felicidades!
Usher Got Hitched on SB Sunday ... Mom Was His Witness!!!

update
3:33 PM PT -- Usher didn't go to the Little White Wedding Chapel in Vegas to get hitched -- as so many celebs before him have done -- but he did another quick-wedding spot nearby ... and his mother on hand to watch it all go down.
TMZ has obtained the full marriage certificate ... and it shows Mr. Raymond married Jenn at Vegas Weddings, which is literally right down the street, and only slightly lesser known.
It confirms he got hitched Sunday ... and his mom, Jonnetta Patton, served as his witness. The ceremony was officiated by Rev. Ronald Joseph Pokrywka. One other interesting tidbit -- Usher seems to be claiming Sin City as his permanent home for right now ... whereas Jenn is still claiming Atlanta. The cert lists Usher as ... Usher Raymond IV of Las Vegas, NV.
Melody Willis-Williams, president of Vegas Weddings, tells TMZ … "Congratulations to the Newlyweds! What a great game and Usher’s performance was phenomenal! We were beyond thrilled to host in this epic day for Usher and his new wife. As much as we love, love, this is the couple’s news to share any further details on. We’ll always be fans of Usher! Yeah!"
Usher and his longtime girlfriend, Jennifer Goicoechea, did in fact get married this weekend -- and did so on the same day he performed for the Super Bowl halftime show.
The singer said "I do" Sunday in Sin City ... according to Usher's marriage records, obtained by TMZ. The wedding date is listed as Feb. 11, 2024 -- and for now, no other details were immediately available.
No word on when exactly Sunday they got hitched ... presumably, it was after the show.
Remember, Usher had actually obtained a marriage license with Jenn on Feb. 8 -- just a few days before the Super Bowl -- and while they technically had a year to get it done from then ... it's now clear their hearts were set on walking down the aisle sooner than later.
Usher and Jenn have been an item since 2019 ... and they've welcomed 2 kids together.
The newlyweds were getting a lot of praise and congratulations at his Super Bowl after-party -- and as it turns out, they hit up the shindig as a newly-minted bride and groom.
At first, it was hard to see whether they were rocking their wedding bands then and there, but he eventually flashed some fresh hardware on his left ring finger later on in the evening while posing next to his bride, and there it was front and center -- all gold, too.
This marks Usher's third marriage ... he's been hitched twice before, to Tameka Foster and Grace Harry, respectively ... and he shares children with the former.
Nothing left to say here other than ... congratulations!!!

BEN AFFLECK Dunkin' Tracksuit Sold Out In Minutes ... SB Ad Sweetens Deal!!!

Exclusive Details

Dunkin' Donuts has clearly found a sweet spot with their Ben Affleck partnership ... 'cause their clothing merch has flown off the shelves following his SB commercial.
As everyone saw Sunday, Ben repped his beloved donut company in their latest Super Bowl ad wearing their outrageously orange signature tracksuits alongside Matt Damon and Tom Brady as they hilariously debuted their band, The DunKings.
As it turns out, the SB spot worked -- because we're told Dunkin' sold out of their new tracksuits in just 19 minutes after going up on sale on their site Monday.
In addition to the DunKings track jacket and track pants, the DunKings bucket hat was also in high demand ... and is currently sold out on their site -- with the sales marking a record-breaking milestone as the fastest collection to sell out in Dunkin' history.
DD says they're currently working on a restock of the sold-out merch ... but for fans of the new boyband, hurry to stores cause The DunKings Iced Coffee, Munchkins Skewers, and more items are available for a limited time.
Evidently, Ben and Dunkin' is a match made in donut heaven ... and no doubt, the Hollywood star is having the last laugh after thousands of memes mocking his unwavering love for the baked good store.
Ben raked in a whopping $10M for last year's commercial with DD, so his paycheck for his 1 minute SB commercial this year would've obviously been one heck of a sweet deal.
BTW, the sold-out effect was happening on the ground as well here in L.A. -- we sent a photog to various Dunkin' Donuts locations ... and the staff told us, they're busy as hell!
Whether it's on their online shop or in the stores themselves -- people seem to be flipping out for Dunkin' all over again.
Just goes to show ... a funny ad in the right spot (and with the right celebs) can go a long way.

Ice Spice cabreó a muchos con su aparición en el Super Bowl, ya que algunos relacionaron el colgante que llevaba con el mismísimo diablo. Sin embargo, Playboi Carti no quería generar ningún tipo de polémica.
La rapera fue vista durante la transmisión del partido del domingo y una buena cantidad de gente se fijó en el collar que llevaba en el palco de Taylor Swift y compañía, que (y para mucha gente) parecía una cruz al revés.

Por supuesto, hubo acusaciones de "adoración al diablo" y símbolos "demoníacos" mostrándose en televisión frente a millones de personas. Un gesto que hizo con la mano tampoco ayudó.
Resulta que no hay nada de impío en este colgante, al menos eso es lo que nos han dicho.
Fuentes con conocimiento directo le dicen a TMZ que la pieza fue diseñada por el joyero Alex Moss, y es solo un dulce pedazo de hielo sin ataduras diabólicas detrás de él. Nos dicen que el colgante está hecho de oro negro, un nuevo material que se ha desarrollado y que Alex está utilizando en una próxima colección. La cruz también tiene zafiros rosa por todas partes.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Nuestras fuentes dicen que Ice es la primera estrella de su calibre en tener este tipo de pieza en su poder y tiene que agradecerle a Carti por ello, nos dicen que en realidad se lo regaló no hace mucho tiempo.
Mientras que el tipo está ciertamente entusiasmado por la honda gótica en estos días, nuestras fuentes nos aseguran que no había nada satánico detrás del significado. Nos dicen que el diseño de la pieza es un esfuerzo de colaboración entre Alex y PBC.
Es dificil saber si la gente se lo creerá... pero esa es la explicación que nos han dado.
Francamente, ¿quién diablos sabe lo que hay en los corazones de la gente? Lo que podemos deducir de esto es que la cadena es bastante cool en todo caso.
De todos modos, es solo una más de muchas estrellas que han tenido que defenderse contra las acusaciones de hacer un trato con el príncipe de las tinieblas.
Estamos seguros de que Ice Spice no está sudando ni un poco.
Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce Honeymoon Phase at SB After-Parties ... First-Hand Account

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce look like a high school couple who have fallen in love for the first time ... at least that's the vibe they put out at Super Bowl after-parties in Las Vegas.
Nitish Kannan, a film producer who partied with Taylor and Travis in Sin City, joined us on "TMZ Live" Monday and painted a picture of what it was like celebrating the Kansas City Chief's big win alongside Hollywood's "it" couple.
Taylor and Travis started the postgame festivities with a private party at Zouk inside Resorts World Las Vegas before moving over to XS at the Wynn ... and when they weren't singing her hit songs to each other, they were making out.
Nitish tells us Tay Tay and TK seemed to be having the times of their lives ... and looking like they're in the honeymoon phase of their relationship.
While the singer and football player commanded the spotlight all night, Nitish says Taylor and Travis wanted to just have a normal night out in public with friends, family and teammates.
It's kinda the exact opposite of Taylor's last relationship -- looking at you, Joe Alwyn -- and that might be one reason why this is all working so well.
Travis, Nitish noticed, isn't very clingy or needy ... and Taylor's very into him. The whole night TK would be hanging with Taylor, then suddenly with his teammates ... and was just generally nice to everyone. That's what Nitish here is saying.
After spending the night in Taylor and Travis' orbit, we asked Nitish how long this relationship is gonna last ... and his answer is pretty interesting.

Por supuesto, los dos últimos arrestados fueron el dúo de hombres que se despojaron de sus camisetas y corrieron al campo durante una jugada en el tercer cuarto.
Ambos chicos fueron puestos bajo custodia por cargos de actos prohibidos durante un evento deportivo antes de ser liberados.
También hubo varias emergencias médicas durante el juego, policías nos dicen que recibieron 56 llamadas relacionadas con sustos de salud, añadiendo que nueve personas en total tuvieron que ser transportadas al hospital para su posterior evaluación.
Fuera de eso, el juego se desarrolló sin problemas y los Jefes ganaron en el tiempo extra 25-22 de manera muy emocionante.
ICE SPICE Carti Gifted 'Demonic' Pendant But Nothing Unholy Here

Ice Spice pissed off many with her appearance at the Super Bowl -- as some interpreted a pendant she wore as pure evil ... even though, Playboi Carti meant nothing by it.
Here's the deal ... the rapper was seen a lot during Sunday's broadcast of the game, and a good amount of folks noticed the chain/necklace she was wearing in the suite with Taylor Swift and co., which (to a lot of people) looked like an upside-down cross.

Of course, that got some pearl-clutchers up in arms ... with accusations of "devil worship" and "demonic" symbols being shown on TV in front of millions. A hand gesture she made at one point -- quiet coyote -- certainly didn't help either with the unholy accusations.
Welp, as it turns out ... there's nothing un-godly about this pendant at all -- at least that's what we're being told anyway.
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ that the piece was designed by celeb jeweler Alex Moss, and it's just a sweet piece of ice with no devil ties behind it whatsoever. We're told the pendant is made from black gold, a new material that's been developed and which Alex is using in a forthcoming collection this cross also has baby pink sapphires all throughout.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Our sources say Ice is the first star of her caliber to have this sort of piece in her possession -- and she has Carti to thank for it ... we're told he actually gifted it to her not too long ago.
While the dude is certainly known for his gothic/vampire vibes these days -- our sources assure us ... there was nothing satanic behind the meaning/design of the piece, which we're told was a collab effort between Alex and PBC.
Hard to tell if people will buy that ... but that's the explanation that's been provided to us.
Whether it leans toward the dark side or not -- 'cause frankly, who the hell knows what's in people's hearts -- what we can gather from this is ... the chain is freakin' dope, and it's rare.
Anyhoo ... it's just the latest star to fight off accusations of dancin' with the prince of darkness.
We're sure Ice Spice isn't sweating it one bit.

El error vocal de Alicia Keys es eliminado del espectáculo de medio tiempo Del Super Bowl
Los espectadores del Super Bowl se abalanzaron rápidamente sobre Alicia Keys por estropear una nota durante su actuación en el Halftime Show con Usher, pero ya se ha corregido el error.
Alicia desafinó un poco el domingo cuando comenzó a cantar "If I Ain't Got You" mientras tocaba el piano en el escenario, algo que la gente notó de inmediato y se burló de ella, aunque nunca lo sabrías si te perdiste el show en vivo.
Oh the NFL edited out that off-key moment on YouTube… https://t.co/6FCNgmiD6l pic.twitter.com/uEToqDrZQs
— Nate (@imnatemonroe) February 12, 2024 @imnatemonroe
La razón... el video oficial del espectáculo de Apple Music en el descanso del Super Bowl publicado en YouTube -que está colgado ahora mismo- eliminó claramente el pequeño error.
Escucha las comparaciones entre la actuación en directo y la versión publicada... parece que los editores han pulido la voz de Alicia. De hecho, no hay duda de que lo hicieron.
Ahora, no lo malinterpreten, esto no es una gran "conspiración" que involucra a la Liga Nacional de Fútbol como algunos han sugerido, es solo la NFL y Apple Music dándole una mano a Alicia.
Un montón de gente se está burlando de Alicia en redes sociales, por lo que los peces gordos que toman las decisiones aquí parecen estar lanzandole un salvavidas. Además, hay que suponer que quieren entregar el mejor producto posible, así que no es de extrañar en absoluto.
Dicho esto, todo el mundo va a recordar que Alicia necesitó un poco de magia de post-producción, ¡pero no hay daño, no hay falta, ella sigue siendo una cantante increíble!
No te preocupes, Alicia... la NFL y Apple te cubren las espaldas.

Of course, the final two arrestees were the duo of men who stripped off their shirts and ran onto the field during a play in the third quarter.
Both guys, we're told, were put into custody on charges of prohibited acts during a sporting event -- before they were released.
There were also several medical emergencies during the game ... cops tell us they received 56 calls regarding health scares -- adding that nine total people needed to be transported to the hospital for further evaluation.
Outside of that ... the game went off without a hitch -- as the Chiefs won a thriller in overtime, 25-22.

Alicia Keys Voice Polished Up After Missed Note ... On SB Halftime Show YT
Super Bowl viewers were quick to pounce on Alicia Keys for botching a note during her Halftime show performance with Usher ... but her voice crack has since been cleaned up.
Alicia was a little off-key Sunday when she started singing "If I Ain't Got You" while playing piano onstage -- something people very much so noticed immediately and mocked her over -- although, you wouldn't know it if you missed the live show on air during Super Bowl LVIII.
Oh the NFL edited out that off-key moment on YouTube… https://t.co/6FCNgmiD6l pic.twitter.com/uEToqDrZQs
— Nate (@imnatemonroe) February 12, 2024 @imnatemonroe
The reason ... the official Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show video published on YouTube -- which is up right now -- very clearly edited out the minor flub.
Take a listen to the comparisons between the live performance and the version posted on YT ... it certainly seems like editors went back and polished up Alicia's voice. In fact, there's almost no question they did -- as the difference between the two versions is noticeable.
Now, don't get it twisted ... this isn't some huge "conspiracy" involving the National Football League as some have suggested ... it's really just the NFL/Apple Music doing Alicia a solid.
Plenty of folks are already poking fun at Alicia on social media over this, so the bigwigs calling the shots here seem to be throwing AK a life raft. Plus, ya gotta figure they wanna put the best product available in the official version that lives on ... so it's not surprising at all.
With that said, everyone's gonna probably remember ... AK needed a little post-production magic when it's all said and done. No harm, no foul -- she's still an amazing singer!
Don't worry, Alicia ... the NFL and Apple have your back.

Usher I Just Can't Stop Roller-Skating!!! Keeps On Rollin' Post-SB

Exclusive Video

Usher's moves from the Halftime show seamlessly floated on over to an after-party -- where he kept on skating ... only here, all eyes were on him and his (maybe?) new bride.
Super Bowl LVIII's headlining act hosted a star-studded bash in Las Vegas Sunday night after the big game ... and TMZ has obtained video of Usher cutting a rug on the dance floor, or on the roller rink, rather.
As you can see, Usher has his roller skates on and he's zipping around, doing some break dance moves ... all while looking pretty slick. Remember, Usher incorporated roller skating into his epic halftime performance, and he's keeping the good vibes going here as well.
The after-party went down at Flipper's Roller Boogie Palace inside Encore Beach Club at Wynn Las Vegas, with performances from Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Diplo and Hardy.
Usher's party also recognized his new album, "Coming Home," and the 30th anniversary of Snoop and Dre's "Gin & Juice." So yeah, SD came out and spit some bars for his old pal.
Other big-time stars who showed up for the bash included ... Andra Day, Big Boy, Brent Faiyaz, Draymond Green, Flavor Flav, Flo Rida, Gabrielle Union, H.E.R, Jermaine Dupri, Justin Hartley, Leon Bridges, Lindsey Vonn, Luke Combs, Ludacris, Machine Gun Kelly, Maren Morris, Megan Fox, Ne-Yo, Pauly Shore, Ray Ray McCloud III, Speedy Morman, TANK, Tiffany Haddish, Too Short, Tim Cook, Victoria Monet, Ying Yang Twins, will.i.am, Winnie Harlow, Zach Bia, and Zane Low ... just to name a few!
Now, eyewitnesses tell us Folks who were there tell us Usher rolled in around 1:40 AM and partied for about 80 minutes ... having fun with a bunch of different people, including his longtime partner, Jennifer Goicoechea, whom he's reported to have married this weekend.
As we reported, Usher and Jennifer obtained a marriage license in Clark County -- and some have suggested they've already tied the knot. If they did, they're keep it low-key for now.
The Flipper’s Skate brand worked with Usher to design the skates he and the skaters wore during the Super Bowl halftime show and to the after party. The skates dropped right after the half time show and you can buy the Flipper’s Quadz by Usher for yourself.
It's unclear or not if Usher and Jenn are, in fact, man and wife at this point -- the details of any purported wedding have surfaced just yet -- but they were being called "newlyweds" at this shindig.
In any case ... lots for Usher to celebrate, regardless. Super Bowl, new album, possible new wife and rave reviews.
Plus, he's still smooth as hell ... whether it's dancing, singing or skatin'!

Kanye West dice que ganó 19 millones de dólares en ventas de Yeezy Tras el anuncio del Super Bowl
Kanye West desembolsó una pequeña fortuna para tener algunos espacios publicitarios durante el Super Bowl y parece haber dado sus frutos... al menos según él.
Ye anunció su botín del domingo en las redes sociales para dar inicio a la nueva semana y las cifras de un solo día que está citando son bastante buenas, alrededor de $19 millones es lo que uno de los representantes de Yeezy.com dijo que facturaron después de su anuncio.
Publicó una captura de pantalla de un texto que aparentemente recibió, que desglosa qué artículos se vendieron y la cantidad de dólares. Hay 4 productos en particular que Kanye y compañía estaban tratando de vender. Productos tales como pantalones, tops, una camiseta y los pods YZY.
Los pods son básicamente calcetines futuristas plegables que se pueden usar como calzado real.
Curiosamente, Kanye parece haber tenido una gran venta en su sitio web. Estos artículos están todos a la venta por un mísero $20. Sí, incluso ahora, usted puede conseguirlos a ese precio.
Si estos números son exactos, entonces sí, parece que su "comercial" (si se puede llamar así) funcionó de maravilla.
Aporopósito, el tipo tuvo uno de los anuncios más básicos de todos los tiempos y que solo se emitió en algunos mercados durante la emisión de la Super Bowl y contó con Ye literalmente filmándose a sí mismo en la parte trasera de un carro y dando una explicación rápida de lo que estaba vendiendo.
Como hemos dicho, era realmente básico y, sin embargo, ¡funcionó!
Algunos están llamando a Ye un genio del marketing y otros dicen que el tipo todavía tiene una base de clientes que va a comprar sus cosas incluso después de todo lo que ha dicho y hecho.
El mercado habla por sí mismo. 🤷🏽♂️
Kanye West I Cleaned Up After Crappy SB AD .. $19 Million in Yeezy $ales!!!
Kanye West shelled out a small fortune for some ad space during the Super Bowl -- in a limited capacity, anyway -- and it seems to have paid off ... at least according to him.
Ye announced his haul from Sunday on social media to kick off the new week -- and single-day figures that he's citing are pretty good ... around $19 million is what one of his reps says Yeezy.com made after his stripped-down SB spot.
He posted a screenshot of a text he apparently received, which breaks down what items were sold and the dollar amount for each. There's 4 different products that KW and co. were really pushing, it seems, and those include a top, pants, a T-shirt and YZY pods.
The pods are basically foldable futuristic socks that you can wear as actual footwear.
Funny enough, Kanye seems to have had a great sale on his website ... these items he's hawking are all on sale for a measly $20. Yep ... even now, you can get 'em at that price.
If these numbers are accurate -- then yeah ... Kanye low-key cleaned up on his inventory ... and it would appear his "commercial" (if you can call it that) actually worked wonders.
ICYMI ... the dude had one of the most bare-bones ads of all time -- which only aired in certain markets during the Super Bowl broadcast -- and it featured Ye literally filming himself in the back of a car, selfie-style, and giving a quick explainer of what he was selling.
Like we said, it was as basic as it could be -- and yet, it seems to have done the job!
Some are calling Ye a marketing genius over this ... and others are grumbling that the dude still has a customer base that'll buy his stuff -- even after everything he's said/done by now.
Hey, it's capitalism ... and the market is speaking for itself. 🤷🏽♂️

Usher resembled something out of "Space Jam" during part of his Super Bowl thanks to his futuristic Air Jordan 4's -- an emergency addition to his glitzy wardrobe!!!
Dominic "The Surgeon" Ciambrone had to spring into action 48 hours before Usher hit the stage ... we are told Jordan Brand had given the R&B megastar only one prototype of the silver metallic sneaker but was unable to get him the other shoe time for Super Bowl over delays due to Lunar New Year.
Usher reached out to Dominic to recreate all the materials of the kicks ... which fuse the chrome finish atop mirrored textiles and blue compliments ... which, he did in under 48 hours after taking 11 cracks at redesigning the shoe to get it perfect!!!
Dominic tells us Jordan Brand and Usher whipped up the design inspired by the "Confessions" singer's universal space theme.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Upon completion, Dom handcuffed himself to the briefcase containing the coveted kicks and hightailed it to Vegas on a last-minute flight Sunday to hand-deliver them.
Mission Impossible became a reality shortly after ... Usher canoodled with Alicia Keys onstage and closed out his Super Bowl set in the shiny AJ4s joined by Ludacris, Lil Jon, Jermaine Dupri and will.i.am.

Kim Kardashian at Super Bowl LVIII Celeb-Packed Suite, But ... Looking Kinda Meh Next to Taylor's 👀
No shocker that Kim Kardashian locked down a luxury suite at the Super Bowl, and even had it filled with A-listers -- but what is surprising is how NOT lit it was compared to Taylor Swift's.
The photos showing off their respective suites are out, and we gotta say ... the KarJenner box -- at least for some parts of the game -- comes across as a little bit of a snooze fest when ya see the lively scene in T-Swift's area.
Check out the pics for yourself and we'll let you decide which suite feels like the better time.
In Kim's suite, there are people slumped over and leaning on their hands as if they're just running out the clock -- and one dude in there looks like he's about to take a long nap.
The opposite vibe was happening across the way at Tay Tay's suite ... where Blake Lively, Ice Spice, Miles Teller and a few other stars were losing their minds and celebrating a ton. Of course, Taylor herself was leading the charge on the partying ... pounding beers, etc.
Kim's suite was just as star-studded, of course, with Justin and Hailey Bieber and other KarJenner sisters, Russell Wilson and Ciara, La La Anthony, Texans QB C.J. Stroud, Winnie Harlow and Michael Rubin all attending, but things looked sorta quiet.
Now, this ain't a competition or anything -- but the differences are notable because of the history of bad blood between Taylor and Kim ... which, as we recently learned, is still fresh on T-Swift's mind, something she commented on in her TIME Person of the Year cover story.
As we reported ... Taylor said she still feels like Kanye/Kim were wrong over the whole 2016 recorded-convo thing -- and even today, it sounds like she'd appreciate an apology.

One last thing we'll point out about the Super Bowl suites -- when the CBS broadcast went around highlighting the different stars at Allegiant Stadium, they conspicuously did NOT cut to the Kardashians and their whole crew. It was ... fairly noticeable.

El palco de Kim Kardashian parece aburrido Comparado con el de Taylor Swift
No es ninguna sorpresa que Kim Kardashian haya reservado un palco de lujo para ver el Super Bowl. Tampoco es raro que esté lleno de estrellas. Lo que sí es sorprendente es lo poco iluminado que estuvo en comparación con el de Taylor Swift.
Las fotos que muestran sus respectivos palcos y tenemos que decir que el de Kim parece a ratos un cementerio, sobre todo si lo comparamos con la fiesta que se vivía en el palco de Taylor.
Échale un vistazo a las fotos por ti mismo y te dejaremos decidir qué palco te parece que está pasando un mejor momento.
En el de Kim, hay gente sentada y apoyada como si estuvieran agotados todo el tiempo, incluso hay un tipo que parece estar a punto de tomar una larga siesta.
El ambiente opuesto se vivíoa en el palco de Tay Tay, donde Blake Lively, Ice Spice, Miles Teller y algunas otras estrellas estaban perdiendo la cabeza y celebrando. Por supuesto, la propia Taylor estaba a la cabeza de la fiesta, bebiendo cervezas, etc.
Kim también estuvo rodeada de estrellas, con Justin y Hailey Bieber y otras hermanas KarJenner, Russell Wilson y Ciara, La La Anthony, Texans QB C.J. Stroud, Winnie Harlow y Michael Rubin, pero las cosas parecían un poco más tranquilas.
Sabemos que esto no es una competencia ni nada, pero las diferencias son notables debido a la historia de mala sangre entre Taylor y Kim, que, como hemos sabido recientemente, todavía está fresco en la mente de Taylor, algo que ella comentó en su aparición en la portada del Times.
Como informamos, Taylor dijo que todavía siente que Kanye y Kim estaban equivocados sobre el asunto del 2016, e incluso hoy en día, suena como ella apreciaría una disculpa.

Una cosa más... cuando la transmisión de CBS destacó las diferentes estrellas en el Estadio Allegiant, curiosamente NO nombraron a las Kardashians... fue bastante notable.
