Super Bowl: From Janet Jackson’s infamous nip-slip to Beyonce’s public stance against police brutality… five times scandal and controversy took center stage in the halftime show

The Super Bowl halftime show has continuously been one of the most-watched events on television in recent memory. However, what is now always a spectacle is often controversial – and hasn’t always been full of superstars.

Until the 1990s, fans were not spoiled with chart-topping artists performing their biggest hits in succession during the intermission of the NFL’s season finale.

The very first halftime show in 1967 featured the Arizona and Grambling State marching bands. That was considered normal before shows evolved form local college parade bands, to tribute acts, light shows and eventually mainstream artists.

The halftime stage eventually became a highly-coveted jukebox that doubled as a mixer for super collaborations as millions of viewers tuned in for the performances.

With the magnitude of the halftime show and the acts who grace it, those 12-15 minutes have been a window for controversy and scandal on several occasions.

From on-stage mishaps to pre and post show tension between fans and the stars involved over social issues… DailyMail.com takes a look at five of the most scandalous Super Bowl halftime shows.
