Beyonce Wins Super Bowl 50

Seven reasons why Beyonce stole the show.

Beyonce Wins Super Bowl 50

The Super Bowl is about much more than just the game--the halftime show is the most widely witnessed musical performance in the country, and the commercials are what makes this event one of the largest business expansion opportunities each year. But who really owns up to the challenge of a Super Bowl halftime performance better than Beyonce Knowles? Here are seven reasons why Yonce actually won the Super Bowl (sorry Broncos):

1. She dropped a new song and video the day before her performance


If you haven't already seen and/or heard about it, Beyonce's new single "Formation" was announced with very little warning on her Instagram account and website on Saturday, February 6. In the song, she addresses the racial issues that have been plaguing our country over the last year, and is her first major release since her self-titled album in December 2013.

2. She actually performed her new song at the Super Bowl

Only Beyonce would use what is arguably the largest stage in the country to perform new material for the first time, and less than 72 hours after releasing it, mind you. She emerged after Bruno Mars and Coldplay (yes, they were there, too), definitely saving the best for last.

3. She nearly fell onstage and made it look effortless

Peyton Manning in cleats can't stay up, but Beyonce in heels is not a problem. Put her in, coach. Nearly falling in front of 120 million people has never looked so graceful.

4. The booty pop

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the fact that this woman is 34 years old and can still pop that booty better than most 20 somethings? I'm fairly certain the woman hasn't aged in years.

5. That "you ain't ready" look

Oh you know she was thinking, "this world ain't ready for this." Which we weren't. Also, note her tribute to Michael Jackson's militia uniform from his performance in 1993.

6. She announced a new world tour almost immediately following her performance

Genius marketing technique, if you ask me. Beyonce's "Formation" world tour kicks off April 27 in Miami, FL. Tickets go on sale Feb. 16, but pre-sale begins Feb. 9. Again, this is her first tour since the "Mrs. Carter Show" tour in 2013. Only Yonce could get away with this--the halftime show was there to serve HER.

7. She made you forget other people even performed


Coldplay may have been headlining, but Beyonce really stole the show. Sorry, Chris and Bruno, you don't stand a chance against Queen B.

Millions of people tune into the Super Bowl every year, and she knew this was her opportunity to make a statement, to say something significant. She knew everyone would be listening, and boy, did she deliver.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
