LOOK: Beyonce, not Coldplay or Bruno Mars, wins Super Bowl halftime show
Coldplay was joined by Bruno Mars and Beyonce for an entertaining performance.

With the Broncos leading the Panthers 13-7 at 30 minutes of play, Coldplay kicked off the Super Bowl 50 halftime show with some fireworks and their track Yellow, which transitioned into Viva La Vida.

With the stage adorned with all kinds of flowers and surrounded by thousands of fans, Coldplay welcomed some violinists onto the stage as well. For Paradise, Coldplay was joined by saxophonists dressed in gold and orange tuxedo jackets. They transitioned to Adventure of a Lifetime and people started to notice Chris Martin's strange pants (I was more confused by his shoes).
Cannot tell if Chris Martin is wearing black jeans or sweatpants or yoga pants or what

Coldplay was then joined on stage by Bruno Mars (and Mark Ronson), who was wearing an ensemble entirely made of black leather (and massive gold chains) for Uptown Funk.

Once that was over, we got BEYONCE, also clad in black leather, performing her new track Formation (the video dropped on Saturday) alongside a drumline and a crew of similarly-dressed dancers.

Formation transitioned into a musical interlude where Bey and Bruno were both pulling off some incredible dance moves, before the duo was joined by Martin for another rendition of Uptown Funk.

To the tune of Coldplay's Clocks, we were then shown clips of halftime shows of Super Bowls past. Flags, flowers, dancers, Bruno, Bey, clapping, waving hands, and the crowd spelling out "BELIEVE IN LOVE" in the background ended the show.
So cool. A montage of prior #SB50 halftime shows now playing with @coldplay "Clocks" in the background. #SB50

Of course, all anybody over on the ole Twitter really cared about was Beyonce, so let's just pick out some excited tweets about how amazing she looked/how good her performance was because why not?

Playing a song that's been out for 24 hours at the Super Bowl is a boss move

Even Chris Martin is like, what am I doing here?

Beyoncé should get do a Super Bowl residency where she performs every year until she gets tired of it.

Coldplay and Bruno were pretty good, too. But this was definitely Beyonce's night. Beyonce now. Beyonce forever.
