Let's talk Super B...eyonce

Yesterday was a big day in the sports world... or the food world... or the music world. Basically Super Bowl Sunday is a big day, and I am not one to disagree. No, I am not a sports fan. Don't get me wrong, I can enjoy a good sports game, but it's not on the top of my to-do list. In fact, I remember in elementary school I disliked sports so much, when we would play kickball I would let the athletic kids cut in front of me so I wouldn't have to go up to to kick. Yes I was that kid.

I am on the complete opposite end of the spectrum. Yes, I am an art hoe. And a self-proclaimed food enthusiast. So even for me, the roudiest day in my house hold is one of my favorites.

Naturally throuhgout the day, I was in the same seat the entire time. No, not the living room couch--a chair, the dinning table chair in specific. All day I set up camp by the second best part of the day--food. Devouring anything and everything that comes within a five foot radius of me.

However, the food did not compare to the wonders of the halftime show.

As soon as the crowd cleared out of the living, my aunt, cousin, and I knew it was time. To be completely honest, I had no clue who was preforming until the night before. I like Coldplay. I like Beyonce. I like Bruno Mars. I was all for it. Now, I'm not gonna sit and type as though I was their biggest fan. "OMG, like I freaking love Coldplay. Seriously, my faves." Nor am I that big of a beyonce fan or one of those people that swears she's my queen. "Yas Beyonce, slay me. Yas Queen." No. But I will admit she does have some catchy tunes and preforms very well.

I was jamming. My aunt was clappping, singing, involuntarily dancing. The guys came in. "Who's Coldplay?" We hushed them. Bruno came out. Then Beyonce. Then a battle broke out. Then a duet.. triplet? Who knows, it was wonderful! The montage of past preformers and colorful ending were emotional.

It was not until I got on Twitter and saw an abundance of Vines and pictures from Beyonces performance. I had seen her outfit during the show and her dancers' hair, but I didn't pay it much thought. I was just kind of like, "Oh hey, they all have little afros. That's cool." There wasn't much thought put into creating links.

Through the wonders of social media, I found out so much more. Pictures of Beyonce were put up along side phots of Michael Jacksons during his Super Bowl premormance in 1993. Turns out, Beyonce is an outift repeater! As in her outfit was more than just to show her insanely well toned legs, it was a "Hey Michael, this is for you."

But wait, there's more! Just when I thought the sentiment behind her preformance could not get any deeper, Twitter proved me wrong. Her dancers rocked afros and black berets, not only to look super freaking fly, but for what could have possibly been a reference to the Black Pantheres.

If there is one thing I love more than a good nod to a fellow music legend, it's an even better salute to legends that helped shape history.

Boom. Legendary Super Bowl 50. And if that doesn't at least make you say, "Hey, not bad B, not bad," then maybe her tumble might.

Her tumble? Yes, her tumble. Remember how I said Beyonce is an excellent preformer? Well, she made you think she wasn't about to fall flat on her ass. Still confused? During one of her dropping it low moments, she almost didn't make it back up. Except for the fact that she defied gravity itself and hopped her ass right back up. I would have never noticed had it not been for Twitter.

From her tribute to the king of pop to her sneaky falls, I guess it's safe to say Beyonces a smooth criminal. (Even that was too cheesy for me, but I could not resist.)
