"If I got clowned this hard, on one of the biggest performance stages, by somebody wearing jeans that look like they’re from a 2004 Delia’s catalog, I would throw myself off of a cliff." 😂

Seriously, and if you've found other think pieces on this to recommend I'd to dive deeper 🥰 something I loved was Kendrick standing at the center of a *divided* American flag, aspects of the choreography implied a division among groups of people that get lumped together - like rappers and Democrats... And then they did connect the flag at one point by physically joining hands "across the aisle" around a central figure or dream. It's still hard to be an proud to be an American these days, but I was so incredibly proud of that halftime show.

It was a moment that anybody who cares about Black art and liberation needed to see! I will edit the post today to include links to other think pieces I enjoy

Good piece! I've read several about performances. I appreciate that each one brings up something I missed. Or just spouts some funny like "2004 Delia's catalog". Genius! Thanks for the memory!
