Our reading
Zendaya danced to ‘Wonderwall’ at a high school game, a moment that probably made the stadium’s sound system question its life choices. It’s one thing to be a movie star, another to be the person who accidentally turns a football field into a concert venue.
Her nephew, meanwhile, was busy being a football player, which is basically a job that requires you to run into people and hope they don’t hit back. The fact that he’s a three-star recruit and she’s a two-time Emmy winner probably made the whole thing feel like a family reunion where everyone’s also trying to win a scholarship.
By the end, the game was decided by a missed extra point, which is the sports equivalent of a cliffhanger ending. Zendaya, meanwhile, probably left with a new story to tell—something about how she once made a high school stadium feel like a red carpet.
