Which Super Bowl halftime show did Beyoncé headline 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 performed a set of her own songs and reunited onstage with Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, her former Destiny’s Child groupmates.

The show attracted enormous attention and included a highly discussed visual production featuring choreography, lighting, pyrotechnics, and a large supporting cast. It also helped renew public interest in Beyoncé’s work shortly before the release of her self-titled visual album later that year.

Super Bowl numbers are easy to mix up because the event is identified by Roman numerals. Beyoncé’s performance was at XLVII, meaning 47, not XLVI, which was held in 2012, or XLVIII, held in 2014.
