If you watched the Super Bowl LIII halftime show you got to witness a shirtless and tattooed Adam Levine sing classic Maroon 5 songs while proving to the world he still has the “moves like Jagger.”
The Pepsi Super Bowl LIII half time show featured performances by Maroon 5, Travis Scott (and SpongeBob), and Atlanta native Big Boi. While the overall show wasn’t quite what you would expect from a multi-million dollar Super Bowl halftime show, it was the performance by Adam Levine that had social media buzzing.
As soon as Adam Levine took to the Super Bowl stage, people took to Twitter to roast his performance and what he was wearing. People were also quick to note that he was able to remove his shirt during the halftime show when Janet Jackson was criticized for having her nipple exposed during her and Justin Timberlake’s halftime performance in 2004.

When Adam Levine was wearing his top, some people quickly noticed the pattern and said it looked like a throw pillow and other home items from Target.
