Super Bowl: 5 Iconic Halftime Spectacles

Rihanna will perform at the NFL Halftime Show this Sunday, February 12th

the return of Rihanna The stage is getting closer and closer and we are already counting the days for the singer’s performance at Super Bowl LVII. The Halftime Show of the American Football Championship Finals takes place this Sunday, February 12th.

We already have a feeling that Rihanna’s return to the stage will be iconic. However, it’s always good to remember that we’ve had several notable performances in Super Bowl history. Therefore, we have separated the presentations that have definitely been marked in the memory of the audience. Watch:

MichaelJackson (1993)

Michael Jackson was the first artist to perform at the Super Bowl. Prior to this, the mid-game celebration was in the hands of the marching bands.

In the 1993 performance, Michael Jackson didn’t delve too much into his massive music catalog, but he sang hits like “We Are The World” with a children’s choir, “Heal the World” with an inflatable globe of the earth in center field, and ” Billie Jean”, with lots of moonwalks.

Beyoncé (2013)

20 years after Michael Jackson’s performance, Beyoncé performed on stage at the Super Bowl. The singer reunited with Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams for a historic Destiny’s Child reunion at the NFL Finals halftime show.

In the setlist, the trio sang “Bootylicious”, “Single Ladies” and “Independent Women”. In addition, we also had Beyoncé’s solo hits, such as “Crazy in Love”.

In fact, the performance was so extravagant that by the end of the show, the power in the stadium went out for over 33 minutes.

Katie Perry (2015)

Another performance that surely went down in Super Bowl history was Katy Perry’s literally animal performance in 2015. At the time, she entered the presentation mounted on a giant lion puppet flying through the sky — all of this, of course, while singing “Fireworks”.

Guests this time were Lenny Kravitz and Missy Ellitt. However, the one who stole the show at that moment was one of the dancers dressed as a shark. Who remembers this meme?

Our Lady (2012)

Obviously we couldn’t leave Madonna out of this list. In 2012, the singer entered the Indianapolis stadium carried like a Greek goddess by her Spartan soldiers. The presentation had rapper Nicki Minaj as main guest, with whom she sang “Gimme Youor Luvin”.

U2 (2002)

Finally, the performance of U2 at the Super Bowl, a few months after the tragedy of the Twin Towers. At the time, the Irish band sang hits like “Beautiful Day” and “MLK” as the names of 9/11 victims flashed across the stadium screen. Then, to conclude the surely unforgettable performance, the group sang “Where the Streets Have No Name”.
