During this years NFL Superbowl, Beyonce, Bruno Mars, and Coldplay performed at halftime. Coldplay came out singing Viva La Vida along with Paradise, Adventure of a Lifetime, and also ended the show with Fix You. Bruno Mars came out singing Uptown Funk and Beyonce performed her new single called Formation. Beyonce's performace caught the most attention.
Beyonce's new single Formation was released one day after what would have been Trayvon Martin’s 21st birthday and one day before what would have been Sandra Bland’s 29th birthday. The song has many people talking about the political views of it and whether is should have or should not have been performed at the Superbowl. People are offended for different reasons like, the fact that it was performed during the halftime show with millions of people watching, the reputation it gave the law enforcement, and the whole "Black Panther" theme she had planned. As I watched the Superbowl I was not paying attention to her lyrics, I was paying more attention to her dancing and the dancers. I think there was to much going on to see what she was really trying to do and I had no idea that's what her intentions were. It probably was not that best decision to perform it at the Superbowl, but I give her a lot of credit for not caring what other people were going to think.
