So why is it okay for Adam Levine to show off his nipples, when Janet Jackson could not?
During the 2004 Super Bowl, Janet Jackson’s breast popped out of her costume during her Super Bowl halftime performance and it nearly killed her career.
Yesterday (February 03, 2019), Adam Levine took his shirt off in the middle of his Super Bowl halftime performance, and well…
Levine decided to remove his shirt towards the end of Maroon 5’s performance.
As a half-naked Levine paraded around one of the biggest musical stages in the world, folks on the internet had many different feelings about his nipples.

One thing that the internet did seem to love was the tank top (which looked like couch cushions) that Adam rocked during a portion of the Maroon 5 halftime show.
The shirt didn’t draw their attention because it was a tight fit or bedazzled in some sort of fancy way.
It was because the pattern looked just like the throw pillows, drapes and rugs they had bought at stores like Target and Walmart to decorate their homes.
Check out some of the reactions:
