The Super Bowl is well known for attracting A-list celebrities but this year seems to have attracted almost every big name out there. Perhaps it was the location, with the game being played in LA, or the epic hip-hop heavy, but whatever the reason Super Bowl LVI had a very star-studded crowd.

At the top of the list of celebrities spotted at the big showdown between the Los Angeles Rams and Cincinnati Bengals was Kanye West. His presence at the game was not a huge surprise as he lives in LA and is widely known to be a big sport fan, but what was surprising was the reception that he received. When the game cameras panned to him in crowd and his face popped up on the big screen West was greeted by a chorus of boos.

Imagine paying $50,000 for a ticket, just to not watch the game. Only Kanye lol #SuperBowl pic.twitter.com/5eLBBrhsk6

The Gold Digger rapper was wearing a strange black full face covering and sitting with his two eldest children, North West, 8, and Saint West, 6, whom he shares with estranged wife Kim Kardashian, as well as a large entourage.

In footage from the event West didn't appear all too thrilled to be there – and was photographed frowning just hours after his furious Instagram tirade, in which he hit out at Kardashian's new boyfriend, Pete Davidson, dubbing him a "d**khead". It seems likely that the online rant at his ex was the driving force behind the frosty reception he received.

Elsewhere at the Super Bowl, Beyonce, Olivia Rodrigo, Rebel Wilson, Justin Bieber, Ellen DeGeneres were among the host of celebrity who attended the game and were either outed by spectators on Twitter to shared their own photos from the centre of the action.

Cardi B was also in attendance and the singer wasn't alone as she posted a video to social media of her celebrity pal, Olivia Rodrigo.

Everyone's favourite reunited couple Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck were spotted in the crowd enjoying the half-time show, at least JLo was clearly enjoying it.
