Which Super Bowl hosted Beyoncé’s first halftime show performance?
Answer
Super Bowl XLVII
Super Bowl XLVII hosted Beyoncé’s first Super Bowl halftime show performance.
The halftime show took place on February 3, 2013, at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. Beyoncé headlined the performance, which included elaborate staging, a large supporting ensemble, and a reunion with Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams of Destiny’s Child.
The set included songs such as “Crazy in Love,” “Love on Top,” “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It),” and “Halo.” The Destiny’s Child reunion featured “Bootylicious,” “Independent Women,” and “Single Ladies.” The performance became one of the most discussed halftime shows of its era.
Super Bowl XLVII was played between the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers, with Baltimore winning 34–31. Beyoncé later returned as a featured performer during the Super Bowl 50 halftime show in 2016, joining Coldplay and Bruno Mars rather than headlining that show.
