Sunday evening was Super Bowl LIII (that's 53 for those who don't read Roman numerals). Tom Brady was there. He is the quarterback for the Patriots and a six-time Super Bowl champ.
THE SPORTSBALL GAME:
The New England Patriots beat the Los Angeles Rams 13-3.
THE HALF-TIME SHOWDOWN:
Maroon 5, aka Adam Levine, performed the half-time show, along with rappers Big Boi and Travis Scott.
People at home were very interested in Adam's shirt, which turned out to look like a lot of things, including a pillow from Target, a chair, kitchen towels, and more.
Although auto tune failed Adam Levine terribly, Target Home Collection really came through with his wardrobe.
Check out some of the best tweets about it!
People also had a lot of feelings about when he took his shirt off — namely, that you could see his nipples. It sparked a huge debate online.
So, Adam Levine’s nipples are ok at the Super Bowl but Janet Jackson’s aren’t?
Basically, back in 2004, Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson performed the Super Bowl half-time show, where Janet's nipple was accidentally exposed. After Adam's performance, people noted the double standard, and called out racism and sexism.
Then, Spongebob Squarepants — yep, you read that correctly — introduced Travis Scott.

A petition — which garnered more than 1.2 million signatures — requested that SpongeBob’s creator, Stephen Hillenburg, who died last November, be honored at the event. The clip is from an episode of Spongebob where the show's characters played a song called "Sweet Victory."
THE TRAILERS:
That basically sums up what happened on the field (you know, in addition to the game), but of course, there were a ton of amazing TV and film trailers during commercial breaks. For example, Avengers: Endgame...

The world will tell you that you're not strong enough to play. They’ll tell you that your story doesn’t matter. And to wait to be given power. But here's what the world won’t tell you... #InHerCourt @serenawilliams
