ATLANTA — Maroon 5 -- according to multiple reports -- will perform the Super Bowl LIII halftime show in Atlanta.
Whether Maroon 5 is officially chosen or not, people had some serious feelings about today's news on social media.
Atlanta is, as we all well know, the home of dozens of successful hip hop artists, so some people thought it was an odd choice to forego so many acts that call ATL home.
But if Maroon 5 is indeed the centerpiece attraction for the Super Bowl, fans might see surprise appearances by current collaborator Cardi B (“I Like It”), who currently calls Atlanta home.
TRENDING STORIES:
Our investigative partners at The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and AJC.com recently reported that any entertainment surrounding and leading up to the Feb. 3 game won't be unveiled until late September or October, with an official halftime show notice in November.

Putting the Super Bowl in Atlanta and then having Maroon 5 as the halftime show is like going to Italy and ordering a banana & mayo sandwich.

I'm all for this as long as Maroon 5 comes on stage, says, "Ladies and gentlemen, Outkast," then leaves. https://t.co/dW2YYA3T1N

For real though, Maroon 5 is seriously doing the Super Bowl halftime show? Was Five for Fighting not available? Maybe they'll bring Enya up on stage. No, it's...it's fine. Everything's fine.

You think, “my goodness, this is going to be the greatest Super Bowl halftime performance of all time.” What a moment, the stage is set, the lights come on, and Maroon 5 shows up on your screen. How much of a let down is that?
