Super Bowl LIX will be played at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana, on Sunday, February 9, 2025.
The Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers, the participants in last year’s Super Bowl, are the betting favorites to return to next season’s big game, as they each have future betting odds of +600 to win Super Bowl LIX.
Some of Cyrus’ best-known songs are “Wrecking Ball,” “Party in the U.S.A.,” “We Can’t Stop,” “The Climb,” and “Flowers,” the latter of which was released in 2023, further cementing Cyrus’ longevity as one of the great pop stars of her era.
