The Super Bowl 56 halftime show was a star-studded event featuring plenty of well-known musicians including Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, and Kendrick Lamar.
A few other special guests made some appearances as well, such as 50 Cent. 50 Cent came out and performed upside down, a callback to his classic In Da Club music video. Anderson .Paak also made a brief appearance on the drums, performing alongside Eminem later in the act.
The halftime show was somewhat centered around hip hop icon Dr. Dre. All four of the other artists have collaborated with Dre, with three of the performers all showing up on Dre’s album “2001.”
Below is Sporting News’ live reaction to the halftime show as well as other social media reaction from the performance.
Best halftime show ever!

Just give me more halftime show. Forget the second half.

Remembering when Kendrick for five minutes made Imagine Dragons cool. https://t.co/6UtkMat1JW
