The Most Symbolic Moments of the 2025 Grammys and Super Bowl

Every year, the beginning of February is marked by two big media events that are often filled with symbolic moments: The Grammys and the Super Bowl. Although one event celebrates the music industry while the other is a football championship game, both frequently focus on the same stars, as if confirming that only a small circle of “chosen ones” can get significant media attention. For instance, this year, both events were marked by the presence of  Taylor Swift, Kendrick Lamar, Jay-Z, and others.

My first article about a music awards show was The 2009 VMAs: The Occult Mega-Ritual, and it remains relevant to this day as it highlights the “blueprint” of most modern award shows. In the article, I noted that these events are built for theatrics, where a limited number of actors appear on camera and on stage to participate in some symbolic and ritualistic moments.
