Beyoncé rocks Super Bowl stage, announces world tour

February 3, 2013 was a big day for Beyoncé.

First, she killed the stage at the Super Bowl XLVII (which by the way was won by the San Fran Ravens 34-31) stage performing the first four songs on her setlist; "Love on Top", "Crazy in Love", "End of Time", and "Baby Boy". Then, she invited former Destiny's Child members Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams up on to the stage, where they performed 2 notable songs from their girl group career; "Bootylicious" and "Single Women". Then, Rowland and Williams accompanied Bey with her performance of "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)"; the first performance from Destiny's Child since 2006. Then, Kelly and Michelle left the stage, and Mrs. Knowles-Carter ended her incredible performance with an exceptional performance of "Halo".

But it didn't stop there. Almost immediately after her performance, it was announced that Beyoncé would embark on a 40+ stop worldwide tour - the Mrs. Carter Show World Tour featuring Beyoncé. The tour, which kicks off in April, will see Bey touring Europe and North America. The tour will help promote her as-of-yet untitled fifth studio album; scheduled for release sometime this year. The tour dates are listed below. If you're in or near Serbia, Croatia, Slovakia, Netherlands, France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Belgium, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Poland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Canada, or U.S. - you're in luck.
