What was the name of Beyoncé’s 2013 Super Bowl halftime performance event?

The story behind the answer

Beyoncé performed at the Super Bowl XLVII halftime show in 2013.

The performance took place on February 3, 2013, at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. Super Bowl XLVII was played between the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers. Beyoncé headlined the halftime entertainment and performed a medley of songs from her solo career.

Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams joined her during the Destiny’s Child songs “Bootylicious,” “Independent Women,” and “Single Ladies.” The reunion was the group’s first live performance together since 2006. Beyoncé also performed “Crazy in Love,” “Love on Top,” and other solo material.

The show attracted an enormous television audience and was followed by a major increase in sales and streaming for Beyoncé’s catalogue. It is sometimes confused with her later 2016 appearance at the Super Bowl 50 halftime show, where she appeared as a guest during Coldplay’s headlining performance.
