Product placement
Bruno Mars (performer); Metlife Stadium (venue); Ticketmaster (ticketing platform, ACTS - its box office is visited and its website is shown on a receipt, removing it would change the context of ticket purchase); Garmin (smartwatch, APPEARS - visible on wrist, removing it would not change the video content)
