It was equal parts corny, underwhelming and Beyoncé.
Super Bowl 50's highly-anticipated halftime show began with Coldplay performing a medley of their greatest hits from "Viva La Vida," "Paradise" and "Adventure of a Lifetime." It was colorful, psychedelic and a true celebration of band geeks.
Bruno Mars then made a quick appearance singing a few bars of "Uptown Funk" before Beyoncé -- in a moment of much needed energy -- stormed the field singing her new, black activism anthem "Formation." For a moment we were all transported back to 2013.
Before long, Bey and Bruno were locked in a dance/face off before handing thing's back to Chris Martin for a celebratory video montage of halftime performances from the past five decades set to Coldplay's "Fix You."
