Which event did Beyoncé headline during the Super Bowl XLVII halftime show?

The story behind the answer

Beyoncé headlined the Super Bowl XLVII halftime show on February 3, 2013. The game was played at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana, between the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers.

Her performance included “Crazy in Love,” “Love on Top,” “End of Time,” and other major songs from her catalog. Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams joined her onstage for a Destiny’s Child reunion, performing “Bootylicious,” “Independent Women Part I,” and “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It).”

The halftime show became one of the most discussed television performances of Beyoncé’s career. It was also followed by the release of her self-titled visual album in December 2013, although that album did not arrive immediately after the game itself. The performance helped reinforce the modern halftime show’s role as a major pop-culture event rather than a short concert break.

The event is sometimes mixed up with later Super Bowl appearances, including Beyoncé’s guest appearance during the 2016 halftime show. Her solo headline performance was at Super Bowl XLVII.
