Beyonce Steals The Show From Coldplay In Super Bowl Halftime Show

Kevin Mazur/Getty Images for Roc Nation Spor Rapper Jay Z sent his wife Beyonce 10,000 roses ahead of her Super Bowl 50 halftime performance on February 7, 2016.

It opened with a Coldplay mashup of “Yellow” and “Viva La Vida” with lead singer Chris Martin getting… intimate with the crowd.

As Mic’s Jamilah King noted, “Beyoncé’s performance was a moving tribute to black activism, both past and present, and it’s the clearest sign yet that she is truly an artist of this political movement”.

BEYONCÉ proved that she can do no wrong – literally – after her performance at the Super Bowl this weekend.

Coldplay, Beyonce, and Bruno Mars performed a set of their chart-topping hits during an energetic and colourful performance.

Martin, Beyonce and Mars center-stage, singing “We’re gonna get it, get it together right now / Gonna get it, get it together somehow”, in unison was an inspiring sight, considering the need for diversity in art that is dominating American conversation right now.

Beyonce announced her 2016 Formation World Tour in a commercial after she performed at the Super Bowl halftime show with Bruno Mars and Coldplay.

From there, it was into “Paradise” and the new ubiquitous single “Adventure of a Lifetime”.

The show saw both her, and her dancers, donning leather body suits and black berets reminiscent of the Black Panthers movement, a radical black political group of the ’60s rooted in Oakland, California; less that 50 miles from the Super Bowl’s location in Santa Clara.

She posted a number of pictures from within the stadium during Coldplay’s show on her Instagram account which suggested she was very proud of her former spouse.

Beyonce nearly pulled a Madonna at the halftime Super Bowl show on Sunday night but managed to regain her balance just in time. Bey sang her brand new controversial track Formation. Soon thereafter, they stepped aside as Mark Ronson appeared behind two turntables to play the familiar refrain of his monster jam with Bruno Mars, “Uptown Funk”.
