Over the years the Super Bowl halftime show has become a must-see spectacle that forces even non-football fans to tune in for the Big Game.
This year’s performer was Justin Timberlake, and without Janet Jackson or *NSYNC by his side, the “man of the woods” showed how hard it can be to pull off a good halftime show like Lady Gaga, Madonna and Prince have done in previous years.
Scroll through below to see some of the best reactions from Twitter about Timberlake’s song choices, his questionable wardrobe and his sheet-tastic tribute to Prince.
Guys. I did it. Prince and a piece of sheet. Enjoy. #Superbowl #Halftime #JustinTimberlake pic.twitter.com/1VN3zz7GSa

So he comes in singing “Rock Your Body?” The song from the “wardrobe malfunction” that pretty much ended Janet’s career and he’s been able to just pretend didn’t happen? No wonder he was in “Trolls.”

I think that shirt technically counts as a wardrobe malfunction.
