This isn’t Beyoncé’s only performance at the Super Bowl, but it was her first. She performed songs like “Crazy In Love” and then brought Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams on stage to perform songs, ending with “Single Ladies.”

 U2 (2002)

This Super Bowl was just a few months after 9/11, and the country was still reeling. U2 created their show into a tribute for those who lost their lives that day. This was a somber performance and a memorable, important one.

This was another star-studded year that even included acrobatics. Madonna brought out all the stops, and for just a moment, was clouded with some controversy. Guest performer M.I.A. flipped the bird during her performance which resulted in a lawsuit from the NFL.
