While Grammy-winning artist H.E.R. was strumming her heart out on the guitar ahead of the 2021 Super Bowl, viewers’ eyes were focused on some apparent product placement going on behind her.
The artist was on hand to sing "America the Beautiful" before Eric Church and Jazmine Sullivan belted out the National Anthem to usher in the coin toss and kickoff. While her performance received high praise on social media, the immensely talented artist was somewhat overshadowed when fans noticed a man in the crowd behind her.
The somewhat brazen man, wearing tan pants and a blue striped polo shirt, was holding a can of Vodka Mule that, at one point, he moved to ensure the label was sticking out to camera right above H.E.R.’s right shoulder.

"A new way to get product placement in the Super Bowl. Buy the good seats behind the opening act. Did you catch the guy with the Vodka Mule in the background?" one user wrote.
"Did that dude get paid for the vodka mule can placement?" another user mused.
"That guy behind her is definitely working for that vodka mule company," a third user wrote.
"H.E.R. singing "America the Beautiful" while a dude in the row behind flashes a vodka mule drink logo is America in 2021," a more sarcastic user added.
"Ayyy Vodka Mule getting free advertisement," wrote another.

"To the man standing behind #HERMusicx— put your Vodka Mule can down. 1) Allow the woman to have her moment, this isn’t about you 2) That drink isn't something to be bragging about," added one user who wasn't amused.
For those unfamiliar, the beverage is a product from Cutwater, which incorporates ginger, bitters, lime and vodka for a canned spin on the popular party drink known as a Moscow Mule.
