It goes without saying that landing the Super Bowl halftime performance is a massive deal for an artist, and is one that's not to be taken lightly.
This year, however, fans were left somewhat underwhelmed by a performance from the LA pop band Maroon 5, which saw lead singer Adam Levine don a questionable tank top, only to remove it and flash his nipples at an unsuspecting audience.
Despite giving it their all, and even including comets, drones, a marching band and Spongebob Squarepants in the show, it somehow failed to quite strike a chord with the audience, with some branding it a 'lacklustre' performance.
Needless to say, Twitter users were quick to provide their 'hot takes' and jokes.
Some were quick to notice that Levine's tank top held a strange resemblance to... 70s soft furnishings.
YALL as soon as I saw Adam Levine’s shirt I said it looked like some 70s home decor, then facebook backed me up https://t.co/nZp99NfdT4— Morgan Jordal (@Morgan Jordal) 1549245615

Others called out the fact it was fine for Levine to reveal his nipples, however, Janet Jackson got a *lot* of flack for the same thing.
This country should have a serious chat about why Adam Levine’s nipples are, uh, apparently “acceptable” on TV but… https://t.co/X8VdinMp5B— Charlotte Clymer 🏳️🌈 (@Charlotte Clymer 🏳️🌈) 1549244480

Some Twitter users did enjoy the show...
While some just offered their ermm... critical opinions.
That halftime show sounded like the playlist at Chili’s.— FK (@FK) 1549243701
