Repeat, please! Super Bowl 50 wasn’t all about the game and commercials. Many viewers — famous and otherwise — stuck around solely for the epic halftime show featuring headliner Coldplay and special guests Beyoncé and Bruno Mars.
Chris Martin led the nearly 15-minute performance with some of the British band’s hits, including “Paradise,” “Adventure of a Lifetime” and “Yellow.” The audience really went nuts, though, when Queen Bey and Mars had a dance-off.
Beyoncé (slay away!) rocked out to her new song, “Formation,” which she just dropped on Saturday. Mars — and his male backup dancers — shook their hips to “Uptown Funk.”
“COLDPLAY MARK RONSON BRUNO MARS BEYONCÉ DANCE BATTLE FIX YOU MONTAGE JOYOUS FINALE OH MY GOD IT WAS SO GOOD I FEEL LIKE I DREAMED IT,” Taylor Swift tweeted after the show.
Demi Lovato and Khloé Kardashian were just as impressed — especially with Bey and Mars. “That one time Beyoncé used the FIELD as her stage…” Lovato tweeted.
Kardashian added: “Ok Bruno and Beyoncé!! I see you!!! Go ahead then.”
