More than 100 million people tune in to the Super Bowl every year. Most people talk about the football game or the snacks. But this time, Teddy Swims caused a giant stir online before the game even started. He stood outside the stadium in Santa Clara and sang his heart out for the official tailgate party. He performed his hit song, “Lose Control.”
The air was chilly, but Teddy looked cool in his black leather vest and matching pants. He wore a wide-brimmed hat that shaded his eyes while he sang about love and pain. You could see his many tattoos as he moved around the stage. He did not look like a typical pop star. He looked like someone who just walked out of a soul club. He sang with so much grit and feeling.

The internet went wild the second he finished. One viewer said he is a woke Jelly Roll, while another fan said he is just a better version of him. Someone else wrote that Teddy now owns the vibe. It was strange because Teddy never mentioned any other artist.
Teddy does not worry about these online battles. He is busy being himself. He picks his clothes based on his mood for the day. Sometimes he wants to feel tough in leather. Other times, he wants to feel soft in silk. He does not try to fit into a box. This was very clear during his NRL Grand Final performance, where he showed off his unique style.

During that show, he wore a patterned shirt under a heavy vest. He looked comfortable and ready to rock. He shifted from singing deep soul music to an AC/DC rock song. The crowd loved how he lost himself in the lyrics. He was not trying to win a contest against anyone else.
