With the Emmy win, Eminem is now one award away from joining a very prestigious club. He has now won an Emmy, a Grammy and an Oscar, making him just a Tony Award away from "EGOT" status.

The overall success of the Super Bowl LVI halftime show should now make the performance even more enticing for other artists for years to come. It is an opportunity for their musice to reach even wider audience.

Super Bowl 57 will be held at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona on Sunday, February 12, 2023. Although the official announcement of the halftime performers won't come for a few more months, there are always ideas floating around for possible contenders.

Drake is always an artist that many NFL fans would love to see perform, but there is always that worry of the "Drake Curse" during sporting events. Adele and Taylor Swift have also been mentioned as possible halftime performers in the past. The main goal for the NFL when choosing a performer for the halftime show is to choose someone that will reach audiences of all ages. Choosing an older artist may not be interesting for the younger generation and vice versa.

Hence the success of the last halftime show. It combined artists new and old and created a show that transcended generations. But no matter who it is, they will have some big shoes to fill after the success of the last halftime show.
