As one of the year's most watched musical event, the Super Bowl halftime show has always showcased artists at the pinnacle of their careers. Since Timberlake has been identified as an icon in the music industry, thanks to his boy band days with N'Sync. The artist is a respected figure in the music scene, which would one of the reasons why he was chosen to perform at the prestigious stage for the third time.

Timberlake's vocal prowess range from pop to ballad and even rock. One of his most recent projects was lending his voice to the "Trolls" character, Branch. His self-composed song for the movie "Can't Stop the Feeling," stayed at the Billboard for 16 weeks.
