New Orleans (Nexstar) – Sunday’s field player at Super Bowl LIX is a celebrity in its own right, but far from the only big name that has gathered in New Orleans for a Chief Seagues matchup.
The guest appearances for the highest profile came in the form of President Donald Trump. President Donald Trump made history as the first president to attend the Super Bowl while in office.
Those who took part in the broadcast before kickoff saw a pair of A-list actors welcomed with their favorite teams. Missouri native John Ham announced that Kansas City chief has arrived on the field at Caesars Superdome. Bradley Cooper, a Philadelphia suburb, welcomed the Eagles to the grass.
There are also many celebrities in pre-match and halftime entertainment. John Batiste sang the national anthem, with Kendrick Lamar and SZA headlined the halftime show.
Let’s take a look at the celebrities discovered at Super Bowl Lix.

President Trump arrived at Caesars Superdome an hour before kickoff in New Orleans to meet the victims’ first responders and family. He has joined his suite with his daughter Ivanka Trump and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
His red tie may be a clue to who he supports. He said he was a fan of both teams, but Trump predicted that the Chiefs would draw another Super Bowl victory.
Bradley Cooper
