MTV was completely unaware of it. The Super Bowl was always weirdly conventional, but the commercials were all weirdly edgy. Two years earlier, there was that Coor’s Light Superbowl commercial that was a parody of Tom T Hall’s “I Love (Little Baby Ducks)” but the punchline is having threesome with twins (because lesbianism and incest are comparable, and both acceptable JT didnt defend Janet, and did what he does best: play good boy by crying about it, bringing his mother on red carpets to appear wholesome, and screwed yet another pop princess by being shitty.

Janet Jackson at the halftime show of the Super Bowl Janet Jackson, Beyoncé and Rihanna gave us unforgettable Super Bowl halftime moments: Look back in photos at the stars and their performances Yahoo News Photo Staff February 6, 2025 at 8:00 AM The NFL played it safe after the Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake controversy in 2004 and went with former Beatle Paul McCartney to perform solo at the Super Bowl XXXIX Halftime Show at Alltel Despite feeling as though he had been thrown under the bus by the press a decade earlier, Michael Jackson did publicly address the Super Bowl halftime show scandal in the aftermath of the incident. Speaking to Fox News' Geraldo Rivera in 2005, Michael said he gave Janet Jackson some words of advice after the incident. But that’s exactly how FCC chairman Michael Powell described the 2004 halftime show. Specifically the portion of the show that featured Janet Jackson, Justin Timberlake, and the wardrobe malfunction seen around the world. The show’s other acts (yes, there were other performers) Kid Rock, P. Diddy and Nelly, all escaped Powell’s ire. That moment during Super Bowl XXXVIII in 2004 when Justin Timberlake grabbed part of Janet Jackson’s top and tore it off, scarring children worldwide who discovered that human anatomy includes “On February 1, 2004, the now-infamous “Nipplegate” incident occurred at the Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show as Janet Jackson performed with Justin Timberlake, crescendoing to a costume malfunction/reveal that begot the aforementioned name.

But the more I think about it, the more I realize that it did changed everything. This is rather ironic because playing the Super Bowl Halftime show is considered one of the pinnacles of a pop star’s career.
