Super Bowl 2013 Lineup: Beyonce Halftime Song Set Leaked After Lip-Sync Controversy
Beyonce's Super Bowl halftime show set list was revealed after an insider shared details of what fans can expect to see on Sunday, Feb. 3, at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans.
A source revealed to Us Weekly that the 31-year-old will kick off the halftime show performance with a solo set and her lineup will begin with her dance number "Crazy in Love." Beyoncé's husband, rap mogul Jay-Z, may also perform with her because he lends his rap vocals on the track.
The source confirmed that there will definitely be a Destiny's Child reunion during the show. Kelly Rowland, 31, and Michelle Williams, 32, will join the Houston native on stage to perform several Destiny's Child hits - including "Bills, Bills, Bills" and "Survivor" - and their new song "Nuclear."
"Nuclear" was recently released and it is the first track from Destiny's Child's reunion album that will go on sale Jan. 29. Fans highly anticipate seeing the reunion because the group's last live performance was at the 2006 NBA All-Star Game when they sang "The Star Spangled Banner."
After Beyoncé made headlines this week because she reportedly lip-synched the national anthem in front of President Obama and millions of viewers on Inauguration Day, Jan. 21, the source said that the singer looks forward to performing live at the Super Bowl halftime show.
"She can't wait to get on the Super Bowl stage and show everyone."
The insider defended Beyoncé's decision to lip-sync to a pre-recorded track, noting that it "is not uncommon among superstars."
"[Beyonce] did sing. There was a [pre-recorded] track, but Bey sang 100 percent."
"[Using a pre-recorded track at live events] is very very common," the source added. "The track was only there as a backup."
