Beyoncé performed as the main act at the Super Bowl halftime show for the first time in 2013.
Her performance took place during Super Bowl XLVII on February 3, 2013, at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans. She opened with “Love on Top” and performed a medley of major songs including “Crazy in Love,” “End of Time,” and “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It).”
Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams joined her onstage, creating a Destiny’s Child reunion. The appearance drew enormous television attention and became one of the most discussed halftime performances of the period. It also followed Beyoncé’s performance of the United States national anthem at the 2013 presidential inauguration, another major public appearance that year.
Beyoncé returned as a featured performer at the Super Bowl 50 halftime show in 2016, appearing alongside Coldplay and Bruno Mars. That later appearance is why the two Super Bowl performances are sometimes conflated.
