Hillary Clinton may have had the tweet of the Super Bowl — saying, "It's so much more fun to watch FOX when it's someone else being blitzed & sacked!" — but Bruno Mars got plenty of Twitter action for his halftime set.

Mars and the Red Hot Chili Peppers generated 2.2 million tweets during their 12-minute show, including raves from Carrie Underwood, Steve Harvey, Eva Longoria and Jordin Sparks.

"Entrance on drums, James brown, chili peppers, I loved that whole thing," said actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Gavin DeGraw said Mars "tore up that halftime performance," while Sparks said she got chills when Mars broke out James Brown's signature dance moves.

Tickets for Mars' Moonshine Jungle world tour go on sale Monday.
