2024 Super Bowl: 10 wild trends you need to know before Chiefs vs. 49ers, including a presidential connection

The most famous sporting event in America takes place this Sunday, as the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers face off in Super Bowl LVIII. The Super Bowl is always fun because of everything that comes with it. Vegas releases special gambling props, the commercials are better, there’s an epic halftime show, and it’s just an event that brings together sports fans and non-sports fans alike — especially with Taylor Swift involved this year.
