Top 5: That Grape Juice’s Picks For Best Super Bowls From 2010 to Present

Over the years, the Super Bowl Halftime shows have taken on a new meaning. From a channel-changing blip, to an extravaganza of epic proportions.

This has been none more apparent than in the last decade. From star-studded headliners like Beyonce and Lady Gaga to celebrations of culture and more, the last decade has truly defined what the potential the Halftime Show has.

Ahead of Rihanna’s must-see showing this Sunday,

Look below for That Grape Juice‘s top 5 Halftime Shows since 2010.

5. Dr. Dre, Mary J. Blige, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, Snoop Dogg, & 50 Cent

When Super Bowl LVI was announced to be held in California, it only made sense that there would be a celebration of west coast Hip-Hop. The result was a dream team of culture and music shapers that included everyone from Dr. Dre to 50 Cent and beyond.

4. Lady Gaga

Like those who came before her, Lady Gaga’s performance at the Super Bowl was a chance to showcase not only her eclectic style, but showcase her unbridled talent as one of this generation’s defining artists and she did just that. Bringing out all the hits from ‘Poker Face’ to ‘Bad Romance’ and Beyonce, Gaga gave a career-defining performance worthy of the record books.

3. Katy Perry

Back in 2015, Katy Perry was riding high off the success of her ‘Prism’ album and the subsequent singles, so it only made sense that she would serve as the Halftime performance during that time. A true pop spectacle, the event featured the rebirth of Missy Elliot as well as the infamous left shark that took over social media for weeks after.

2. Madonna

Taking the stage at Super Bowl XLVI in Indianapolis, the Queen of Pop arrived as a Greek goddess and truly brought a show worthy of her honorary title. Bringing Nicki Minaj and M.I.A along for the ride, Madonna created a show-stopping performance that undoubtedly stands as one of the event’s best.

1. Beyonce

What would a proper list be without Queen Bey? Taking the stage during Super Bowl XLVII she not only gave the best performance of her career, but she also brought her Destiney’s Child band mates along. Performing such hits as ‘Single Ladies’ and ‘Crazy in Love’ Beyonce’s showing was so extravagant that half the lights at the Superdome went out. Legendary from beginning to end, Beyonce proved she is the Super Bowl’s one and only queen.
