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

The story behind the answer

Beyoncé headlined 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. Beyoncé 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 show was notable for its elaborate staging, synchronized choreography, and extensive use of lighting and video effects.

Super Bowl XLVII was played between the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers, with Baltimore winning 34–31. The game experienced a lengthy power outage during the second half, but the halftime show itself became one of the event’s most discussed performances. Beyoncé later returned as a guest performer at Super Bowl 50 in 2016.
