The most important sporting event of the year just took place.
Bey just rocked her way across the Super Bowl arena, with athleticism and grace, like only Beyonce can.
Apparently, some sort of football also took place, but we can neither confirm nor deny those reports.
Here are the top five moments from the half time show.
1. Beyonce entered the arena like a ninja.
We’re used to Super Bowl stars making a grand entrance (does everybody remember Katy Perry striding into view atop a giant horse that looked like it could crush us all with one diamante hoof? Fun times). Beyonce, however, started on the grass and proceeded to dance across that green death trap without her heels sinking into the dirt. They must teach you that in Destiny’s Child Finishing School.
2. Beyonce and Bruno Mars had an epic dance off (Beyonce won)
For some reason, we were subjected to a whole lot of Chris Martin/Bruno Mars action before Beyonce made her appearance. When she did (finally) stride onto the stage, there was quite the shake-off between Knowles and Mars, with Bey ultimately coming out on top (a condescending shoulder pat from Beyonce let us know the dual was very).
Beyonce also had a bit of a fall. But, as we all know, falls don’t happen to Beyonce. Beyonce happened to the fall.
5. Beyoncé performed her new single Formation for the very first time. Clad in an outfit reminiscent of Michael Jackson’s military standby (minus the pants) Beyonce rocked out to a song that included a million cultural references that can be read as commentary on America’s racial history; the Black Lives Matter campaign; and her own brand of extremely commercial feminism.

"But, as we all know, falls don’t happen to Beyonce. Beyonce happened to the fall".........haha love this line!
... Extremely commercial feminism? Was that condescending because it sounds it. Beyoncé's feminism is something I relate to a lot more than mamamia's victim-click bait feminism. Beyonce's feminism is actually quite nuanced, especially in her particular devotion to 2nd wave feminism which is the respect for and empowerment of femininity (eg care giving, empathy, anything that is typically female but often dismissed like fashion, female sexuality). Listen to her work, it's quite thought through. And check yourself.
