Decades before football fans were discussing how much Taylor Swift is too much, there was another singing superstar some viewers saw more of than they wanted.

On February 1, 2004, the now-infamous "Nipplegate" incident occurred at the Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show as Janet Jackson performed with Justin Timberlake. The pair were performing Timberlake's hit "Rock Your Body," and he was to rip Jackson's top to reveal a red bustier beneath. Instead, the estimated 100 million+ viewers tuned in along with the Super Bowl attendees saw a flash of Jackson's bare breast with what appeared to be a nipple piercing. She quickly moved to cover herself, but the damage was already done. Do you remember this happening?
Yes, I was watching it

The fallout was instant, and stunning. Hundreds of thousands of complaints flooded into the Federal Communications Commission, CBS (which aired the Super Bowl) was fined and Jackson's career suffered. As a result, Jackson lost lucrative opportunities, such as her record label deal, movie deals, and corporate sponsorships. A Mickey Mouse statue at Disney World was even stripped of his uniform representing "Rhythm Nation," Jackson's fourth studio album. In contrast, Timberlake's career continued to flourish, and he was invited back to the Super Bowl in 2018 to perform. Do you think people overreacted to the malfunction?
