Beyonce went into her Super Bowl halftime show last night on the heels of backlash from lip-synching the national anthem during the Presidential Inauguration; and amid rumors that her former band, Destiny’s Child, would be joining her on-stage. Throughout her performance, she silenced all the wagging tongues, putting on a simply electric show that included many surprises along the way.

Beyonce came on-stage in what can only be described as in full diva form, belting out some of her biggest hits including “Love on Top,” “Halo,” and “Crazy in Love.” When she told fans to “reach your hands to me,” because she “needed to feel the energy,” she seemed to reach out to every single person in the Superdome — not a simple task when it’s filled to capacity. And as she lay on the ground and spun around, she also gave a show only for fans at home, as it was best appreciated from an aerial view.

But it was after she had filled the stage with her dynamic outfit, wave-a-licious hair, and huge voice, that the rumored guest stars finally appeared on stage. Suddenly from out of nowhere appeared the other members of Destiny’s Child — Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams — to put on what seemed like an entirely different show. But beautifully combined with the first.

Michelle and Kelly helped Beyonce out with some of their biggest band hits, including “Bootylicious” and “Independent Women.” For the grand finale, they also lent a hand to Beyonce with one of her other biggest hits, “Single Ladies.”

Throughout this last number, it seemed as though Beyonce was trying to send a specific message, choosing to dance in fine choreographed style instead of chiming in with the background music. When she did bring the mic back to her, she belted out the melody in fine gritty, grimy style that was clearly authentic — and live.

And if all of that wasn’t enough, Beyonce had one more surprise in store for fans. Right after her halftime show, she announced that she’s heading out on the “Mrs. Carter Show World Tour.” The tour includes a slew of dates around Europe and North America, and you can get a full listing of current dates on TicketSupply.com.
