What a moment! Have you ever seen a former player from a different sport stealing the show on the biggest day of the NFL season? Well, perhaps that’s just Serena Williams’ thing! We all know Williams’ love for dancing. For instance, she once revealed, “I love ballet, and I wanted to be a ballet dancer.” Well, surprising everyone with a cameo in rapper Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show is a different element. Serena Williams showcased her incredible dance moves in front of a sell-out crowd at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans. How did her followers and her biggest fans react to her incredible Super Bowl performance?

The 43-year-old tennis legend donned a monochromatic blue mini skirt and shirt, along with a white undershirt. Even her beautiful blonde curls were literally a showstopper at this mega event! However, her performance surpassed every other notable thing on this big day.

We know Serena Williams and Kendrick Lamar are both from Compton, California. Their unique camaraderie was portrayed when Serena Williams made her appearance on stage during Kendrick Lamar’s performance of ‘Not Like Us’. The crowd erupted in joy seeing their favorite tennis star having the time of her life dancing to the Drake diss track.

Previously, there were a few rumors about Serena Williams’ relationship with Drake. There have been several controversies surrounding the two in the past as well. Interestingly, in the song ‘Not Like Us’, Lamar is seen taking a little dig at Drake and warning him to “not speak on Serena.”

Williams even uploaded a few glimpses of that iconic day on her social media accounts. In one of those posts, she captioned, “Let’s go Super Bowl halftime??! I died a little!” She looked quite ecstatic after getting the chance to showcase her dancing skills on this big day, but what did her husband, Alexis Ohanian say about his wife’s incredible performance?

Serena Williams’ husband was spotted showcasing his support for his wife. He shared a few pictures capturing some of the iconic moments from the 2025 Super Bowl. In one of those posts, there was a GIF highlighting Serena Williams’ dance moves during Lamar’s performance. Ohanian captioned the series of pictures with, “Super Halftime Show.” Even his Los Angeles Golf Club shared a post with a similar GIF on their X handle with the caption, “Highlight of the Super Bowl @serenawilliams @alexisohanian.“

Talking about Serena Williams’ performance, seeing her crip work in New Orleans took back the fans to an epic moment from the 2012 London Olympics. Although, Serena Williams claimed in a video clip that, “Man, I did not Crip Walk like that in Wimbledon. Ooo! I would’ve been fine!“, still her dance moves caught all the limelight in this event. What is a crip walk, though? Well, the crip walk has been a part of California’s pop culture. It’s entertaining for some, but controversial for a few others!

We saw Serena Williams‘ crip walk in front of the jam-packed crowd at the All England Club stirring a bit of controversy almost 13 years ago. What were the reactions from the others this time, though?
