The pop star performed the song during the Super Bowl 50 halftime show, joining Coldplay and Bruno Mars, who mixed in bits of his and Mark Ronson's hit "Uptown Funk." Eventually, Beyonce, Mars and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin were all singing "Uptown Funk", reported Variety.
Beyonce's performance comes one day after she debuted the politically charged music video for the song. The video is set in New Orleans and finds Beyonce on top of a sinking New Orleans police cruiser.

The Pepsi Super Bowl 50 halftime took place at Levi's Stadium in the San Francisco Bay Area.
