At which sporting event did Beyoncé headline the halftime show in February 2013?

The story behind the answer

Beyoncé headlined the halftime show at Super Bowl XLVII in February 2013.

The performance took place on February 3, 2013, at Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. Super Bowl XLVII was played between the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers, with the Ravens winning 34–31.

Beyoncé opened with “Love on Top” and performed a medley of songs including “Crazy in Love,” “End of Time,” and “Baby Boy.” Destiny’s Child members Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams joined her onstage, making the appearance a notable reunion.

The show became especially famous for its elaborate staging and for a brief power outage that affected parts of the stadium during the game. It is sometimes confused with Beyoncé’s later performance at Super Bowl 50 in 2016, where she appeared as a guest alongside Coldplay and Bruno Mars.
