Which event featured Beyoncé’s first headline Super Bowl halftime performance in 2013?

The story behind the answer

Beyoncé’s first headline Super Bowl halftime performance took place at Super Bowl XLVII in 2013.

The game was held on February 3, 2013, at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans. Beyoncé headlined the halftime show, performing a medley of major songs including “Crazy in Love,” “Single Ladies,” and “Halo.”

Destiny’s Child members Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams joined her onstage, making the performance a notable reunion of the group. The show also became famous for its elaborate staging, choreography, and powerful vocal presentation.

Super Bowl XLVII was played between the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers, with Baltimore winning 34–31. Beyoncé later returned to the Super Bowl halftime stage as a guest during Coldplay’s headline show at Super Bowl 50 in 2016, which is why the two appearances are sometimes confused.
