Some of the biggest names in music history have made the Super Bowl halftime show their own over the years.
It’s a feature-length presentation in the world of entertainment, a convergence between the zero-sum stakes of NFL football and the glitz and glamor of Hollywood.
It’s also quite marketable; from Lady Gaga to Dr. Dre, Super Bowl performances have tended to be followed by skyrocketing album sales.
All this to say that a lot can happen between the second and third trimester. Legacies can be cemented, as was the case when Beyonce brought Destiny’s Child to the stage and set the world on fire in the spectacle that was Super Bowl 47’s halftime show.

Conversely, they can also be tarnished. Need we mention LMFAO, who haven’t done much since he (sort of) hit the stage with Madonna (?!) in 2012.
