Maroon 5 returned with “Girls Like You,” its recent hit with Cardi B, a gospel choir taking her place after she declined to perform in solidarity with former San Francisco 49er quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who many believe has been blackballed by the NFL for his efforts to raise attention to injustices against minorities in the United States. The rapper may have set a record for bleeps during a single song in a Super Bowl halftime show - I counted at least three different occasions - and he staged-dived backwards arms outstretched like Christ on the cross. “This Love,” one of the band’s catchiest songs followed, and then the weirdest moment of the performance: Squidward, the clarinet-playing squid from “SpongeBob SquarePants,” introducing Travis Scott whom the video production portrayed as arriving via meteor.
