Levine had a solution to the potential low viewing figures
Maroon 5, Kendrick Lamar, and Big Boi played last night's 53rd Super Bowl half-time show, but it was Adam Levine stripping off that stole the show.
It was a night of American football between the Los Angeles Rams and the New England Patriots. But before the Patriots went on to secure a 13-3 win, Adam Levine from Maroon 5 decided to make their half-time performance a most memorable occasion.
Kendrick Lamar, featuring Spongebob Squarepants, arrived on stage to perform 'Humble' to the screaming fans, before crowd surfing away. Big Boi also rocked up to give a few bars from Outkast's 'The Way You Move.'
However, the main event was still to come. Just as the last song of the night was being performed, 'Moves Like Jagger,' Adam Levine whipped off his vest, and revealed his torso to the world.
Here's the reaction to that event - with many remembering back to the Super Bowl of 2004, and how the slippage of a certain nipple stole proceedings on that occasion too.
There was outrage.

"Inconsistent" is an understatement.
Super Bowl halftime nipple rules feel inconsistent

At least someone said what everyone else was thinking.
This halftime show is starting to make me uncomfortable. #SuperBowl53

Pain-stakingly true.
Janet Jackson’s good reputation was tarnished for 50 percent less nipple than we saw today. pic.twitter.com/hC1KWYkk6R

All in all though, Maroon 5's half-time show went better than many expected. Here's the full half-time performance for you - just watch out for Adam Levine's nips at the end.
