Paul McCartney’s surprise appearance at the 2025 Super Bowl had fans talking online. During the game, cameras showed him sitting in a VIP box, looking relaxed and happy. The famous Beatles star was with actors Paul Rudd and Adam Sandler, while Kevin Costner and Pete Davidson were sitting nearby, chatting, with Sandler looking like a fanboy.

The game took place on Sunday, Feb. 9, at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Kansas City Chiefs were playing against the Philadelphia Eagles, but many people were just as excited to see McCartney in the crowd.
McCartney was seen smiling, waving to Sandler, and even raising his drink in a toast. A video of the moment was shared on X (formerly Twitter), and fans loved it. One person wrote, “I didn’t expect to see Paul McCartney waving like an excited child on my Super Bowl bingo card, but I loved it.”
Another fan joked, “Paul McCartney is doing side quests,” while someone else called him “the only GOAT in the area,” meaning the greatest of all time.
However, some fans were upset that McCartney was just watching the game instead of performing at the Halftime Show. This year, the show featured Kendrick Lamar, but McCartney had performed at the Super Bowl in 2005.
One fan tweeted, “Paul McCartney is at the Super Bowl and NOT performing?” while another wrote, “No one will ever do a show like Paul McCartney again.”
Some people also noticed the other celebrities sitting near McCartney. Seeing Kevin Costner and Pete Davidson together surprised fans. One person wrote, “I didn’t expect Pete and Kevin to be sitting together,” while another added, “I didn’t know they were all friends.”
With McCartney and so many other stars in one place, it was a big moment that got people talking—even though he wasn’t on stage.
