Artists such as Michael Jackson, Coldplay, The Who, Maroon 5, The Weeknd, Snoop Dogg and Bruno Mars have captivated audiences with their iconic voices and electrifying stage presence.

With millions of viewers tuning in from around the world, it is one of the largest and most prestigious stages for any musician to perform on.

Beyoncé Featuring Destiny's Child - Super Bowl XLVII (2013)

Beyoncé first graced the stage at the Super Bowl halftime show in 2013. She performed alongside her Destiny's Child bandmates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, making it a reunion of sorts for the legendary girl group.

The trio performed some of their biggest hits, including ‘Bootylicious’ and ‘Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)’. This performance was a big moment for Beyoncé as it marked her return to the stage after taking a hiatus to focus on her family.

The performance also marked a turning point in the history of the Super Bowl halftime show, as it shifted from primarily featuring rock and pop bands to showcasing some of the biggest names in R&B, hip-hop, and pop music.

Beyoncé's performance set the bar high for future Super Bowl halftime shows and established her as a trailblazer in the music industry.

Beyoncé's performance was met with widespread praise from audiences and critics alike, who were impressed by her incredible stage presence and powerful vocals.

In addition to her musical performance, the singer used her Super Bowl platform to make a political statement, as her song ‘Formation’ was seen as a call for social and political justice. This bold move solidified her status as a fearless and socially conscious artist who uses her platform for positive change.

Queen Bey’s performance at Super Bowl 50 once again raised the bar for future Super Bowl halftime shows and proved why she is one of the most revered and respected artists in the music industry.
