At which 2013 event did Beyoncé perform the halftime show as the main act?
Answer
Super Bowl XLVII
Answer
Super Bowl XLVII
Beyoncé was the main performer at the Super Bowl XLVII halftime show in 2013.
The performance took place on February 3, 2013, at Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans during the game between the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers. Beyoncé performed a medley of her songs, including “Crazy in Love,” “Love on Top,” and “Halo.”
Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams joined her onstage, creating a Destiny’s Child reunion during the show. The appearance was especially notable because it followed Beyoncé’s 2013 inauguration controversy and renewed global attention on her live performance style. The halftime show also ended with a temporary power outage at the stadium, though the game itself continued afterward.
Super Bowl XLVII is distinct from Beyoncé’s later appearance at Super Bowl 50 in 2016, where she joined Coldplay and Bruno Mars. The 2013 show was her first Super Bowl halftime performance as the central headliner.
