Which Super Bowl did Beyoncé headline for her first halftime show performance?

The story behind the answer

Beyoncé headlined the Super Bowl XLVII halftime show on February 3, 2013.

The performance took place at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. Beyoncé performed a medley of her songs, including “Crazy in Love,” “Love on Top,” “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It),” and “Halo.”

Former Destiny’s Child members Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams joined her onstage for a reunion during “Bootylicious,” “Independent Women,” and “Single Ladies.” The show ended with “Halo” and became one of the most discussed halftime performances of its era.

Super Bowl XLVII was played between the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers. Beyoncé later returned as a guest performer at the Super Bowl 50 halftime show in 2016, which is why the two appearances are sometimes conflated.
