Inside The Private Super Bowl Suite Where Cardi B, MGK, And More Watched The Game

While football fans across the country were glued to their screens on Super Bowl Sunday, Machine Gun Kelly (MGK), Alix Earle, Cardi B, and other A-listers were busy living a very different version of the Big Game. The rapper and his fellow stars spent Super Bowl weekend inside one of the most exclusive celebrity circles in San Francisco, joining a group of other A-listers hosted by Raising Cane’s founder Todd Graves, a weekend that ultimately placed many of its guests just steps away from Bad Bunny’s headline-grabbing halftime show.

The celebrity-heavy weekend began Saturday night with an invite-only pre-party at Charmaine’s, a rooftop hotspot overlooking San Francisco. While the event flew largely under the radar publicly, the guest list told a different story. MGK was spotted mingling alongside Alix Earle, Jessica Alba, Emma Roberts, Teyana Taylor, McKenna Grace, Cardi B, Logan Paul, Megan Moroney, and more.

After Saturday night’s rooftop scene, the same celebrity group quietly regrouped Sunday morning at Villon for a pre-Super Bowl brunch, just as speculation amongst fans swirled about the halftime show and who might be involved. At the time, few could have guessed just how close some of the brunch attendees would be to the on-field action later that afternoon.

Once at Levi’s Stadium, Cardi B, MGK, and the celebrity crowd were ushered into Todd Graves’ custom Raising Cane’s suites, a private, celebrity-filled space offering a clear view of the field and total separation from the general crowd.

Inside, the suite felt less like a corporate box and more like a celebrity lounge, with actors, musicians, influencers, and athletes watching the game shoulder to shoulder. Guests had plenty of conversations, snapped plenty of photos, reacted to plays, and kept a close eye on the clock as halftime approached.

While MGK spent Super Bowl Sunday rubbing shoulders with A-listers inside an ultra-VIP suite at Levi’s Stadium, that wasn’t the only place fans spotted him during the Big Game. The "Vampire Diaries" artist also appeared on screens nationwide during a T-Mobile Super Bowl commercial that leaned heavily on nostalgia.

The spot turned T-Mobile’s Times Square store into a surprise mini-concert, with the Backstreet Boys belting out a revamped version of their 1999 hit “I Want It That Way,” rewritten with lyrics touting “best network,” “best value,” and perks. MGK appeared at the tail end of the commercial, adding the cherry on top.

As Bad Bunny’s halftime performance began, several celebrities who had spent the weekend inside the same Raising Cane’s orbit suddenly appeared as part of the show.

Jessica Alba, Cardi B, Karol G, and Pedro Pascal were spotted among the performers, instantly sparking online chatter as viewers recognized the famous faces. From the suite above, MGK and others watched as friends and fellow guests moved from private VIPs to on-field performers in front of millions.

The performance leaned heavily into Puerto Rican culture and symbolism, including surprise appearances from Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin.

Bad Bunny closed the performance with a striking message, displaying flags from more than 20 nations across North, Central, and South America. As the U.S. and Puerto Rican flags stood prominently behind him, he spiked a football complete with the phrase, “Together we are America,” before launching into “DtMF.”

The Seattle Seahawks dominated the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX, winning 29–13 in Santa Clara, California. The win marked Seattle’s second Super Bowl title in franchise history, a long-awaited redemption after the heartbreak of Super Bowl XLIX over a decade ago.

Seattle’s defense set the tone early, stopping the Patriots’ offense and holding New England scoreless through the first three quarters. Jason Myers contributed a Super Bowl-record performance with five field goals for Seattle, while the Seahawks’ pressure on quarterback Drake Maye, including multiple sacks and a key interception return, helped build an early lead that never let up.

Running back Kenneth Walker III was named Super Bowl MVP after a standout performance on the ground, leading Seattle to take home the Lombardi Trophy.
