There was a lot of anticipation in the run up to Justin Timberlake's Super Bowl performance, but he didn't disappoint fans last night (4th February), as he performed a number of his hits including 'Can’t Stop The Feeling', 'SexyBack' and 'Suit & Tie'.

The last time Justin appeared during the huge sports event was 14 years ago, when he and Janet Jackson performed together and had the infamous 'wardrobe malfunction'. However, this time around Justin gave a family friendly performance, which was well received by celebrities and fans around the world.

Justin's performance was full of perfectly choreographed moves, both on and off stage, as part of the way through the show he took the opportunity to go into the crowd and take selfies.

At one point he also showed off his talent on a white grand piano as he sang Prince's 'I Would Die 4 U', 'alongside' the pop icon, who was from Minneapolis - where the Super Bowl was taking place.

Nick Jonas called Justin 'unreal' and a 'LEGEND'.

Meanwhile, Swedish singer Tove Lo said Justin was 'FIIIIIIRE 🙌'.

And Ellen DeGeneres said, 'My friend @JTimberlake just killed it', tweeting an animated gif.

Justin Timberlake's performance topped off what has been an amazing month for the pop star's comeback. Justin has released four singles since the beginning of year and this fifth studio album, 'Man of the Woods', dropped last week to much excitement, including collaborations with country singer Chris Stapleton and Alicia Keys.
