New Orleans hosted Beyoncé’s first Super Bowl halftime performance in 2013.
She headlined the halftime show at Super Bowl XLVII on February 3, 2013, at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Baltimore Ravens defeated the San Francisco 49ers in the game, which was played in the city’s major football venue.
Beyoncé opened with “Love on Top” and performed a medley that included “Crazy in Love,” “End of Time,” and “Halo.” Destiny’s Child members Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams joined her onstage for “Bootylicious,” “Independent Women Part I,” and “Single Ladies.”
The performance followed her widely discussed appearance at the 2013 presidential inauguration. It also became associated with a temporary power outage during the game, though the blackout occurred after halftime and was not caused by the performance itself.
