The former tennis champion, known for her dominance on the court, turned heads as she took the stage in a blue tennis skirt, moving to Lamar’s track—a song widely interpreted as a diss aimed at her ex, rapper Drake.

Among the most talked-about responses was from ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith, who stirred controversy by saying he would have “divorced Williams” for not letting go of her past relationship. However, the focus quickly shifted to her husband, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, who had remained silent—until now.

Breaking his silence in just four words, Ohanian posted on X“Pretty fantastic halftime show,” a comment that sent fans into a frenzy. His understated yet supportive message sparked debates, with many applauding his cool and collected response amid the internet chatter.

Williams herself addressed the buzz surrounding her performance, taking to X shortly after the event. “Let’s go Super Bowl halftime. I died a little!” she wrote, acknowledging the moment’s impact.

Beyond her performance, Williams won further admiration for publicly defending pop star Taylor Swift, who was met with boos when she appeared on the jumbotron at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans during Super Bowl LIX. Swift, attending the game in support of her boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce, appeared “surprised and mildly amused” by the crowd’s reaction.

While debates rage on over the deeper implications of her performance, one thing is clear—Serena Williams continues to captivate audiences, whether on the court or center stage at the biggest sporting event of the year.
