We thank the universe for this historic opportunity to play on the world’s biggest stage. We thank our fans for making our dreams possible. And we thank our critics for always pushing us to do better. One Love. ❤️"

Perhaps Levine didn't know how his performance was received by fans and netizens. Because a lot of people had a lot to say about the performance, starting from his fashion pick for the night which resembled sofa and cushion covers to him stripping off his shirt and baring it all for the audience to go back to the Janet Jackson controversy.
