Following the release of their album A Head Full of Dreams, Coldplay headlines the halftime show for 2016’s Super Bowl 50, accompanied by their recent collaborator Beyonce and 2014 headliner Bruno Mars. Read on for a real-time reaction to this year’s SB50 show.
- “A musical celebration of past, present, and future.” JUST TELL US WHO YOU’RE BRINGING OUT AS THE EXTRA SURPRISE GUEST.
- Janelle Monae is so great, I love her
- FIREWORKS AND EXCITED TEENS RUNNING OUT WHILE CHRIS MARTIN TRAPSQUATS AND CROONS “YELLOW”
- and now “Viva La Vida,” I am transported back to being 14
- digging all the bright colors and the people on stage, this actually feels like a real concert
- I’m always down to see happy excited fans sharing their love for a band’s music.
- The stage is so trippy – getting a semi Beatles circa Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts’ Club vibe
- the whole set design/performance is totally Beatles-esque if we’re being honest
- I like all the crowd interaction so much
- BRUNO MARS AND MARK RONSON
- I AM SLAIN GOODBYE
- HE BROUGHT HIS DANCERS
- HE IS SO HOT OMG EVEN IN THESE PLEATHER ADULT MATCHING PAJAMAS AND GOLD CHAINS I AM ATTRACTED TO HIM
- HAMMERTIME DANCE OMG
- BEYONCE UGH OH MY GOD
- in the Michael Jackson inspired outfit too whoa
- YOU DOUBLE KILLED ME
- this was literally the smartest release strategy in the world for this song
- I can’t get over the choreo for this track it’s iconic IT IS SO RECOGNIZABLE
- we all saw this video yesterday and we’re all already like YO ITS THE FORMATION DANCE
- marry me Bruno Mars this is like
- like the best 90s teen movie dance off anyone could ever imagine
- CRAZY IN LOVE
- BEY DOING THE UPTOWN FUNK SHIMMY
- CHRIS MARTIN SORTA RUINING THE AESTHETIC BUT I’M DOWN ANYWAY
- oh man “Clocks” with this flashback montage is
- well I don’t know how I feel about it
- but it is the 50th anniversary so I guess #obligatorymontage
- aw Whitney’s National Anthem footage
- oh please not U2 lyrics
- Bey and Chris JUST DO YOUR SONG PLEASE
- okay who decided on the costuming for Bey and Bruno? it just doesn’t really go with the whole look of the Coldplay show but I guess it doesn’t really have to
- they are really going for the whole love everybody vibe and I am appreciating it
- BELIEVE IN LOVE <3
- OMG BEYONCE WORLD TOUR
- WHAT A SLY WAY TO ANNOUNCE THAT
