Squarespace x Zendaya Big Game Teaser
Courtesy PhotoZendaya is officially making her Super Bowl ad debut.
On Friday (Feb. 4), Squarespace shared a teaser of the Euphoria actress in their television spot, which is set to air in full on Super Bowl Sunday next weekend. The 10-second clip features the former Disney Channel star at what appears to be a beach. The clip opens up with a sandy seashell rotating in a hypnotic matter before the scene cuts to Zendaya, who is twirling while wearing a bright teal-colored halter dress adorned with various shells and pearl accents. With her red-tinted hair — which she first dyed and revealed in a Dec. 16 Instagram Story — Zendaya is giving off Disney’s Little Mermaid vibes.
“2.13.22 #Squarespace presents: Everything to Shell Sell Anything,” Squarespace captioned its Instagram. “Starring #Zendaya … stay tuned for more #BigGame,” Squarespace captioned their Instagram post, which contained the ad teaser. The website-building company followed up the post with a poster of the 25-year-old wearing a puka-shell necklace and matching earrings. “A classic story, reimagined,” they wrote.
Zendaya has had no shortage of work in the past few months. She currently stars in and executive produces Euphoria, which airs every Sunday on HBO Max. In 2021, she reprised her role as MJ in Spider-Man: No Way Home (which has grossed over $1 billion worldwide), starred as Marie in Netflix’s Malcolm & Marie and voiced the character of Lola Bunny in Space Jam: A New Legacy.

Taylor Swift believes Nashville has a music scene that stands apart from anywhere else.
The 36 year old singer moved to Nashville, Tennessee, when she was young to chase her dream of becoming a country music star. After being inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame on Monday (26.10.26), Taylor took the opportunity to recognise the city and the talented writers who have helped shape its music scene.
In her acceptance speech, Taylor said: "I believe you really get to master a craft by doing it again and again. That's exactly what the incredible songwriters in this wonderful town do every day."
Taylor also spoke about what makes Nashville such a special place for musicians.
The award winning singer, who ranks among the best selling music artists of all time, said: "You won't find another music community quite like this one. Trust me, I've checked them all."
Taylor also shared how being part of Nashville's songwriting scene had taught her valuable lessons about life and working with others.
She joked: "I've learned to be flexible when your co writer turns up with a hangover, or when they need to spend ages talking about their divorce before we can even get started on a song."
Taylor previously spoke about how Faith Hill and Shania Twain inspired her decision to move to Nashville.
Speaking to Time magazine, the singer said: "I couldn't get enough of watching TV biographies about Faith Hill and Shania Twain, and I realised they had both moved to Nashville to get their careers started. After that, I kept asking, pleading and begging my parents to take me there.
"When I was 11, my mum took my brother and me to Nashville during spring break, and we spent the trip driving around Music Row. She stayed in the car while I rushed into record companies one after another, giving my demo CD to the receptionists. I found it fascinating that so many major record labels were gathered along a single street, often inside little buildings and old houses.
"What really stayed with me was how welcoming people were to newcomers and complete strangers like us. We started visiting Nashville more often, and when I was 13, I received an offer for a development deal from a major record label. That was when my parents finally agreed to leave Pennsylvania and move with me."
