The Monday Night Football Halftime Show brought together an incredible lineup for a night of music, performance, and unmistakable New Orleans energy.

Curated by Troy “Trombone Shorty” Andrews and choreographed by the amazing Charm La’Donna, each artist brought something unique to the stage — their own sound, movement, and energy.

Halftime Director Marcelo Gama followed those performances as they unfolded, capturing the movement, the music, and the moments that defined each one.

A look back at some of our favorite moments from an unforgettable Monday Night Football Halftime Show.

What a night at the Superdome. 🏈🎶

We’re sharing a moment from the Monday Night Football halftime show, as Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue joined forces with the incredible lineup on stage for “The Saints Are Coming.”

With artists, musicians, the Edna Karr High School Marching Band, and the Saints Cheer Krewe all coming together, the cameras had a lot to capture — keeping up with the movement, the energy, and the scale of the performance. Directed by Marcelo Gama and the amazing Thinking Lion front bench @mikeyllorenstv and @gfumia7

A fantastic night of live entertainment, and we’re so happy to have been part of it.

Produced by the NFL and Jesse Collins Entertainment. Big shout out to ESPN and their game crew who went above and beyond to shoot this halftime show, some with no rehearsals at all. Great team. Great team effort. Beautiful results.

“Lost Ones” brought Queen Latifah and Common together on the BET Awards 2026 stage. As part of the tribute to Ms. Lauryn Hill, it was a moment deeply rooted in hip-hop and culture.

The camera direction followed the energy of the performance, moving between the artists and the stage to shape how this part of the tribute came across on screen, under the direction of Marcelo Gama.
