Rick Kern/WireImageThe Hot Girl coach and a light switch connoisseur teamed up for a jungle-themed Super Bowl commercial for their favorite brand of chips, while a pop star enlisted her country icon godmother to help cell phone users with poor service get in touch with a better network. But which commercial from the 2022 Super Bowl is your favorite?
Megan Thee Stallion and Charlie Puth appeared in Flamin’ Hot Cheetos’ Super Bowl commercial this year, but not in their normal forms. The television spot sees the Hot Girl coach playing herself and a CGI bird hanging out in an alligator’s mouth, while Puth voices a beatboxing fox as Salt N’ Pepa’s “Push It” plays in the background, interrupting a wildlife photographer’s attempt at getting the perfect shot.
Miley Cyrus, with the help of Dolly Parton, wrote a faux-charity single as a PSA to those with bad cellular connectivity to make the switch over to T-Mobile. “America’s got a serious problem, so I’m gonna get it off my chest — 5G phones trapped on limited 5G networks,” Parton says, with Cyrus singing “Do It for the Phones” with the help of a backing choir.
Meanwhile, Kanye West had a starring role in the McDonald’s Super Bowl spot, appearing at the restaurant chain’s drive-through in a massive tank-sized vehicle, asking the attendant at the window, “Can I get uhhhhhh …” before completing his order.
Other Super Bowl commercial featuring musicians include Snoop Dogg appearing alongside Martha Stewart, Lizzo, Kenny G, Will Smith and more, but which ad is your favorite? Vote below!
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."
