On Thursday, Beyonce kicked off her pre-Super Bowl press conference with a polite request: “Would you guys mind standing?” But at the start of her Super Bowl XLVII halftime performance on Sunday (February 3), she cued fireworks and flames. Her Destiny’s Child co-conspirators Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams teleported to the stage like Power Rangers being called to action, only to be shooed away toward the end of “Single Ladies.” Beyonce strutted and swung her hips and cast out one smoldering gaze after another through a string of greatest hits — “Crazy in Love,” “End of Time,” “Halo” — and re-established that yes, she was born to do this sort of thing.
