While it has angered people in the past, most of the time the audience enjoys the performance like any other concert. Viewers of the sports, including players of other sports who are fans of the spectacle, indulge in predicting the songs of the halftime show. The person who guesses the songs correctly gets bragging rights. The American rising star, Coco Gauff is the person who earned those rights recently.
