The stars aligned for this year's Super Bowl halftime show.

In a celebrity-filled performance worthy of this year's Los Angeles host, Dr. Dre, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, Kendrick Lamar and Snoop Dogg took the stage as the Los Angeles Rams faced off against the Cincinnati Bengals at SoFi Stadium.


As the show started, the SoFi field was covered with what appeared to be the Los Angeles city grid and a row of white buildings. Snoop Dogg and Dre kicked things off together with their song "The Next Episode" before segueing into Dre and Tupac Shakur's "California Love."

50 Cent was next to join the party in a surprise appearance, starting off literally upside down to perform "In Da Club" with a bevy of female dancers in a faux party scene.

It became a "Family Affair" when Blige entered, back on the top of the building structures, and wearing all white and sequins. She was accompanied by sparkling backup dancers, who later disappeared while she sang "No More Drama" solo.
Lamar, surrounded by men in black suits with bleached hair and wearing sashes reading "Dre Day," performed his hit "Alright" in front of the stage set-up.

Eminem then took things back up top again, performing his Grammy and Oscar-winning song "Lose Yourself."

"I'm extremely excited to share the stage with my friends for the #PepsiHalftime Show," Dre captioned a photo of the group in September. "This will introduce the next saga of my career… Bigger and Better than Ever!!!"

For Dre and Snoop Dogg, 50, the halftime show was personal, as they're both local and "were at the forefront of the West Cost hip-hop revolution," Todd Kaplan, VP of Marketing at Pepsi, said in a statement.
