The Super Bowl 50 may be months away from now, but it looks like the NFL is gearing up for a momentous celebration. While the NFL regular season has yet to actually commence, the football community have been quite eager to start the games and see whether or not the New England Patriots can defend the Super Bowl title or the Seattle Seahawks could swoop in to correct the fatal error they committed last season - one that had Marshawn Lynch and Russell Wilson practically handing over the Super Bowl trophy to Tom Brady.
As the NFL teams battle it out this season, it looks like Roger Goodell and his crew are busy looking for ways to boost the sales of tickets and increase the viewership for Super Bowl 50. Hence, it came as no surprise when Bruno Mars was reportedly offered to once again take the stage during the Super Bowl 50 half time - an experience the "Uptown Funk" hitmaker already had in the past when he performed during the Super Bowl 48, according to Entertainment Weekly. The appearance of Bruno Mars during the said Super Bowl saw the Seattle Seahawks walking away with the highly coveted trophy.
The performance of Bruno Mars in Super Bowl 48 ranked second in terms of the number of viewers who tuned in to the game, according to Billboard. His numbers were later on amplified by the appearances of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. According to the report, Bruno Mars managed to rake in a total of 115 million viewers - a record only broken by Katy Perry's Super Bowl 49 stint.
This time, however, sources reveal that Bruno Mars will not only be granted the free reign to choose his songs for Super Bowl 50 but also, and more interestingly, "curate" for the event. Hence, the "Marry You" singer will reportedly by given the power to choose the lineup of artists to take part of the occasion.
In an earlier interview with Billboard, the director of media events for the NFL, Sarah Moll, shared that the entire team and her superiors are avid followers of Bruno Mars. She said, "Myself and our producer, Ricky Kirshner, were both personal fans of Bruno and had seen him in concert and knew what he could do." Moll went on to say, "And it was a lot of just telling folks here and getting folks excited about Bruno and taking them to shows and letting them see what he could do. And that's kind of what got it going."
At the moment, Bruno Mars has yet to comment on his potential involvement at the Super Bowl 50. The NFL event, which would see two notable football teams compete for the ultimate prize, will be held on Feb. 7, 2016.
