I Found 16 Of The Most Absurd Photos From The Super Bowl Because I Was Never Paying Attention To The Actual Game

Let's be real: The only reason I tuned into the Super Bowl was to watch Kendrick Lamar perform and see if Taylor Swift would announce Reputation: Taylor's Version. So, I had plenty of time to notice everything (that was absurd and silly) and not the actual football game being played.
