Justin was previously banned from performing at the Super Bowl after Janet Jackson's exposure "incident" in 2004. Not everyone is happy because he's been essentially given a free pass from the 2004 incident, but Janet hasn't been given the same "pass." Maybe he will bring Janet out as a guest and all will be forgiven for 2004?
The 2018 performance will actually be JT's third time performing at the game. He appeared at Super Bowl XXXV in 2001 with NSYNC.
