US viewers of the Super Bowl reach a record 123 million.
The Kansas City Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers in Sunday’s Super Bowl, drawing in a record 123.4 million viewers thanks to Usher’s halftime show and Taylor Swift’s eye-catching appearance.
Deep into overtime, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes found Mecole Hardman in the end zone to complete a thrilling 25-22 victory in the longest Super Bowl game in history.
With the win, Kansas City establishes itself as the NFL’s newest dynasty and becomes the first club to win back-to-back Lombardi Trophies since the New England Patriots in 2003–2004.
With 123.4 million viewers across all platforms, CBS parent company Paramount announced in a statement that it was the “most-watched telecast in history”—a seven percent increase over the previous year’s game.
