Surprise, Surprise! Serena Williams stole the show at the Super Bowl LIX. Kansas City Chiefs are currently taking the Philadelphia Eagles in this mega event at the Caesars Superdome, New Orleans. Amid this high-intensity clash, we saw some highly entertaining moments during the halftime show. Lady Gaga was seen jumping off the roof of the stadium, Usher roller skated, and then came Kendrick Lamar who had tennis legend Serena Williams crip walk to one of her songs! Incredible scenes…
After teasing it throughout, Kendrick Lamar finally launched into ‘Not Like Us’ towards the end of his set and the crowd went wild after seeing Serena Williams having the time of her life dining to the Drake diss track. Serena Williams also posted a behind-the-scenes video and pictures of herself getting ready backstage with the caption, “Let’s go Super Bowl halftime??! I died a little!” Then after that, in a separate video clip, Serena could be heard saying, “Man, I did not Crip Walk like that in Wimbledon. Ooo! I would’ve been fine!”
During the 2012 London Olympics, Serena clinched a gold medal in the singles event. However, more than her historic triumph, her crip walk in front of the crowd at the All England Club after defeating Maria Sharapova in the gold medal match stole the show. What is a crip walk, though?

Well, the crip walk has been a part of California’s pop culture, but, at times it has received a bit of criticism for several reasons. When asked about the origin of this dance in 2012, Serena said, “I don’t know. I don’t think I ever danced like that. I don’t even know where the dance came from. It’s just a dance we do in California, I’d say, West Coast. Actually, there is a name, but, I don’t know, it’s inappropriate.” Serena was heavily criticized at that time for her crip walk. The LA Times sports journalist, Bill Plaschke said, “Serena C-walking at Wimbledon only shows how long she’s been away from home, separated from violence and death associated with that dance.”
There were several rumors about Serena Williams and Drake’s relationship in the past. Drake even took a jab at Serena’s husband, Alexis Ohanian in his 2022 track, ‘Middle of the Ocean.’ Seeing Serena Williams showcase her dance moves to a Drake diss track in a blue tennis skirt and a matching top was an eye-catching moment for sure!
It was not only Serena Williams’ surprise cameo during Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show that caught he eyes, but her gorgeous look turned heads at the mega event as well. Her beautiful blonde curls were literally a showstopper!
Speaking about that, Serena Williams’ longtime hairstylist, Angela Meadows said, “We wanted a statement style that would be a showstopper for Serena’s surprise dance moment with Kendrick Lamar but also hold up against the wind and humidity for the big game.”
However, Williams wasn’t the only superstar cameo during Kendrick Lamar’s halftime show. Samuel L. Jackson was there as well, dressed as Uncle Sam, as he served as a master of ceremonies for the show.
There has been a lot of buzz going on surrounding this mega NFL event in the last few days. Taylor Swift getting booed at the Super Bowl LIX is the talk of the town as well. But guess what? Serena is there backing Taylor again.
Serena Williams and Taylor Swift have known each other for several years now. Both these superstars were first caught in a single frame in 2016 and there have been multiple occasions ever since when Serena Williams and her family have portrayed their love for this popular singer. We all know Williams is a Swift fangirl, but do you know even her husband, Alexis Ohanian is a huge admirer of Swift’s incredible voice?

After attending a Taylor Swift concert with his family, Ohanian said, “I’m a Swiftie now. Amazing experience. Fantastic performance. Olympia’s first-ever concert will be VERY hard to top. Thank you, @taylorswift.” Swift has fans from all over the world, but why was she booed at the 2025 Super Bowl?
Taylor Swift was in attendance to cheer on her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, as the Kansas City Chiefs were eyeing to clinch their third consecutive Super Bowl win. As soon as Swift appeared on the big screen, she was met with deafening boos from the packed crowd. Perhaps, the Philadelphia Eagles supporters weren’t too pleased seeing her cheer for the other team. Taylor Swift was sitting next to her close friend Ice Spice and after that reception from the crowd, she flashed a smile, murmuring, “What is going on?”
Serena didn’t like the booing at all, as she quickly came to Taylor’s support with a post on X. “I love you @taylorswift13 Don’t listen to those booo!!” the 23-time Grand Slam winner posted.
