Whether you are a die-hard football fan or an art enthusiast, here is everything you need to know about Super Bowl LIX.

This year's Super Bowl pits the American Football Conference (AFC) champion Kansas City Chiefs against the National Football Conference (NFC) champion Philadelphia Eagles. This is also the second time the two teams have met in the Super Bowl in three years. The Kansas City Chiefs will represent the AFC, advancing to their fifth Super Bowl in six years after defeating the Buffalo Bills 32-29 in the AFC Championship Game. The Philadelphia Eagles will represent the NFC, advancing to the most important game of the year after defeating the Washington Commanders 55-23 in the NFC Championship Game. This is also the Eagles' second Super Bowl trip in the past three years.

The Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana, will host the Super Bowl for the eighth time, more than any other stadium. The Louisiana Superdome first hosted the Super Bowl in 1978, when the Dallas Cowboys defeated the Denver Broncos 27-10 in Super Bowl XII. The last time New Orleans hosted the Super Bowl was in 2013, when the Baltimore Ravens defeated the San Francisco 49ers 34-31 in Super Bowl XLVII. That game was famous for several reasons, including the lights going out in the Louisiana Superdome in the second half, causing a 34-minute interruption to the game. That was the only time two brothers—Jim Harbaugh and John Harbaugh—served as head coaches on opposing sides. That was the last game before retirement for Baltimore's Ray Lewis and San Francisco's Randy Moss, both of whom were later inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Multiple Grammy Award winner Kendrick Lamar will deliver this year's Super Bowl halftime show performance. Lamar has previously appeared at the Super Bowl, serving as a special guest in the 2022 halftime show led by Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg. There are usually guests appearing in the halftime show, but Grammy Award winner SZA is the only confirmed guest performer this year.

Will Taylor Swift be at the Super Bowl? The answer seems to be yes. Taylor Swift's relationship with Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has garnered widespread attention this past season. Swift's relationship has attracted a large number of new fans to the NFL, and ultimately the global superstar became the focus of Super Bowl coverage last year. The cameras immediately focused on Swift celebrating in the suite after the Chiefs scored the game-winning touchdown in overtime. Since Swift finished her "Eras Tour," she has attended fewer Chiefs games this season, but according to reports from Page Six reporters Bernie Zilio and Eileen Reslen, she will be at the Super Bowl in Louisiana.

When was the last time the Kansas City Chiefs won the Super Bowl? The Kansas City Chiefs have won the Super Bowl in the past two years. They are trying to become the first team to win three Super Bowls in a row. Last year, the Chiefs won in a great championship game. Led by quarterback Patrick Mahomes, the Chiefs advanced 75 yards (68.58 meters) in 13 plays and scored the game-winning touchdown in overtime. Mahomes passed to Mecole Hardman for a touchdown to defeat the San Francisco 49ers 25-22.

When was the last time the Philadelphia Eagles won the Super Bowl? The Eagles have only won one Super Bowl in their history. That was in 2018, when backup quarterback Nick Foles led Philadelphia to a 41-33 victory over the New England Patriots. The most memorable moment of that game was the "Philly Special," when Foles became a receiver and caught a touchdown pass on fourth down with seconds remaining in the first half. The last time the Eagles participated in the Super Bowl was two years ago, when they were defeated by the Chiefs in a thrilling 38-35 classic. The Eagles' victory in 2018 prevented the Patriots from becoming the first team to win three Super Bowls in a row. The Tom Brady-led Patriots won the Super Bowl in 2017 and 2019. If Philadelphia can avenge their loss from two years ago and defeat the Chiefs, they may once again prevent a three-peat.
