Still from Formation video.

Beyonce got political at Super Bowl 50 by performing her Black-Panther-inspired-New Orleans-highlighting-Big-Freedia-booty-shaking-Black-Lives-Matters-invoking new single, Formation.

Earlier in the day she released the video which showed images of a flooded New Orleans, Black Panther outfitted dancers and a wall graffitied with the phrase, ‘stop shooting us.

Complete with full fireworks and a marching band she almost upstaged Coldplay at their own Superbowl halftime show.

Then, later that night she announced her new world tour.

Her last world tour grossed $212 million and we expect this one to do no less. Tickets will go on sale Feb. 16, but American Express cardholders will get early access from this Tuesday.
