  In an effort to keep viewers glued to their television sets, the NFL created the biggest halftime show ever, featuring Michael Jackson! While the crowd turned over cards, some of which contained drawings by Los Angeles children, the late King of Pop performed a lip-synched medley of “Jam,” “Billie Jean,” and “Black or White.” He then ended the performance with a snippet of “We Are the World.” With a blow-up globe deployed on the 50-yard line, Michael concluded with “Heal the World.”

  Lady Gaga opened with her medley of “God Bless America” and “This Land Is Your Land” from the roof of the stadium, and then launched herself onto the stage from the sky, singing dance-pop favorites such as “Poker Face,” “Born This Way,” and “Bad Romance.” Lady Gaga’s stage exit was perhaps the greatest of all time: She mic dropped, caught a football toss, and hopped off the staircase.

Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams also appeared out on the stage like magic to sing “Bootylicious,” “Independent Women,” and “Single Ladies,” joining Bey for the songs!

  Taking over the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif., Dr. Dre and his cohorts brought hip-hop its first halftime show spotlight in 2022. Hip-hop proved it is more than ready to take center stage at the Super Bowl halftime show – and many more to come, we hope.

  It was the day that the phrase “wardrobe malfunction” became part of the American lexicon. The debate about whether Justin Timberlake “accidentally” exposed Janet’s nipple while ripping off a portion of her costume has been discussed for years. Nipple piercing or not, you can’t deny that this halftime was one of the best!

  Everyone had Moves Like Jagger this day! The Stones hit the stage and immediately got down to business with just three songs: “Start Me Up,” “Rough Justice” and the inevitable “Satisfaction.”
