It wasn’t Beyonce’s first time working with the NFL. Back in 2013, she headlined Super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans, Louisiana. She also performed at Super Bowl XV in 2016, alongside Coldplay and Bruno Mars in Santa Clara, California. The “Beyoncé Bowl,” remains available on Netflix as a standalone special for users who missed out on the live event. As for the results of Wednesday’s games, the Chiefs ended up beating the Steelers 29-10 while the Ravens bested the Texans 31-2.

Looking ahead, Kendrick Lamar will be headlining the halftime show for Super Bowl LIX in February. It’ll be his second time performing at the event, having joined Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, 50 Cent, and Mary J. Blige on stage during the Super Bowl LVI halftime show in 2022. He’s still fresh off the release of his latest album, GNX, as well as his feud with Drake, which spawned his hit diss track, “Not Like Us.”
