One striking example comes from Season 23, where Lady Gaga performs suspended in the air, reminiscent of her actual Super Bowl performance five years later. Similarly, a 1998 episode depicted a deal between Fox and Disney, which came true when Disney acquired Fox for $52 billion in 2017. Another episode from 2000 featured Lisa Simpson as President during a financial crisis, a scenario that many found eerily familiar when Donald Trump was elected in 2016.
