SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) β Stars from the sports and entertainment world mingled Friday night at ESPN’s lavish pre-Super Bowl party, which featured an energetic performance from pop newcomer Charli XCX.
Actors, television sports analysts and sports stars looked on as the “Boom Clap” singer belted out several of her hits, dancing and bounding around the stage.
Among the notable guests of the party were “Breaking Bad” actor Aaron Paul, NFL quarterbacks Robert Griffin III and Colin Kaepernick and a host of retired sports figures including former basketball player Rick Fox and football stars Jerome Bettis and Marcellus Wiley.
In between live music performances by J. Cole and Charli XCX, Roots drummer Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson served as one of the party’s DJs.
ESPN has devoted extensive coverage to Sunday’s championship game between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks.
