Super Bowl 2027 Halftime Show Performer Revealed

And now that Jay-Z’s performance is signed, sealed and soon to be delivered, he can always get advice from Beyoncé, who knows a thing or two about running the stage. After all, she headlined Super Bowl 2013—we’ll never forget how her electrifying performance (allegedly) caused a 34-minute blackout—and returned in 2016 to join Coldplay and Bruno Mars onstage, while Jay-Z cheered from the stands.

So yes, there may be 99 problems but showing up for one another certainly isn’t one.

And that goes for every moment, whether it’s in front of millions nationwide or a little closer to home, like the premiere of his JAY-Z in 8 docuseries. 

“I’m really excited,” Jay-Z told E! News last month about his family sitting down to watch. “They know these things. We talk all the time. It’ll be fascinating to see on a big screen and at times, I know it’ll be, like, cringe.”  

“You know, when you put yourself out there like that,” he noted, “you get embarrassed but it’s honest, and it’s a beautiful piece. So, I’m very proud of it.”

As Jay-Z draws up a winning game plan for Feb. 14, keep reading for a look back at the most memorable Super Bowl performances of all time.
