There is always a huge amount of attention on the Super Bowl half-time show.
Remarkably, on occasions, there are more eyes on it than the actual game itself!
American Football fans have been treated to some sensational performances over the years, with plenty of the music industry's biggest superstars taking centre stage at the NFL showpiece.
From Diana Ross to Sir Paul McCartney, there will have been a performance to have tickled everybody's fancy at some stage.
Last year, the spotlight fell upon Kendrick Lamar at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, with Latino rapper and singer Bad Bunny being bestowed the honour of performing at Super Bowl LX in Santa Clara.
We cast our minds back to every previous half-time show in Super Bowl history below...
