The Coldplay singer and Corden are taking the ultimate road trip to the Super Bowl. We can’t compete with unbelievable dance routines and all of that. This year comes with even more pressure as it will be a challenge to follow in the footsteps of Katy Perry who put on a very memorable and well received performance last year. “I don’t see why this show would be different”. In fact, they all headed to Mumbai, India to shoot the video, which was just released seven days ago and already has over 27 million YouTube views. “I wanted it to be something iconic and something that people would never forget”, she said.
The group, who have been performing for almost 18 years, quipped that they’ll perform all their No. 1 hits and “work out how to fill the other 10 minutes”.
During a press conference ahead of the show at California’s Levi Stadium, Martin told reporters: “My daughter said the sweetest thing yesterday”.
