As soon as the NFL announced Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige and Kendrick Lamar as the Super Bowl LVI halftime show, anticipation for one of the most star-studded casts to perform instantly began. And did it ever live up to the hype.
Dre opened with “The Next Episode” to introduce Snoop Dogg, Blige sang her heart out to “Family Affair,” Lamar broke out with “Alright” and Eminem rapped the timeless classic “Lose Yourself.” Dre then wrapped it up with Still D.R.E. to send us into the second half.
We even had a surprise appearance from 50 Cent.
Beyond thrilling fans in the stadium, the star-studded group also sent people across the world into a frenzy. Here’s some of the best reaction:
