The Super Bowl XLVII was broadcast on CBS from New Orleans on Feb. 3, 2013. The game was interrupted by a half an hour due to a blackout of the lights and partial power failure in an piece of equipment that was designed to prevent such a thing from occurring.

Beyonce headlined the Pepsi Super Bowl XLVII Halftime Show. It was a huge success and many believed she stole the show. She was joined onstage for a reunion with members of Destiny's Child. The weeks earlier she was under fire after admittedly lip-syncing the National Anthem during President Obama's Inauguration.

Fourteen-time Grammy-award winning singer-songwriter Alicia Keys performed the longest version ever of National Anthem on the piano. Also before the game, Jennifer Hudson performed "America the Beautiful" with the 26-member Sandy Hook Elementary School chorus.
