She’s one of the biggest stars in the world, with a famous husband and a famous baby, and more money than most small industrialized nations. And now, Beyonce will be available for your entertainment pleasure while you and your friends suck down nachos and beer this February.

The singer/actress confirmed on Tuesday that she will headline the Super Bowl halftime show. To express her enthusiasm, she updated her Twitter profile with a photo of herself and the words “Feb 3, 2013” written on her cheeks in football-inspired eye black.

Sharing the excitement, Super Bowl organizers posted the news on their official Twitter account with the words “Beyonce will perform @pepsi #SB47 Halftime Show in New Orleans. February 3 2013 on @cbs.”

With a regular audience of 100 million-plus viewers, it’s safe to say that even an international superstar like Beyonce will be playing for the largest audience of her career. Recent performers have included the likes of Madonna, Bruce Springsteen, Paul McCartney, The Who and U2, so she’s in very good company.

One thing that will be interesting to see, however, is whether Beyonce performs the usual career-spanning medley of music. While she’s had some big hits over the years, even the biggest Beyonce fan wouldn’t argue that she has as prolific a back-catalog as the decades-spanning artists listed above. Perhaps that is a good thing, as it may give her more time to actually perform the songs than simply rushing through a verse of each. It also would seem to indicate that she’s more likely to have multiple high-profile guests helping her out, as so many of her hits have featured collaborations with other artists.

What do you think? Is Beyonce enough to make you hold your bathroom break during halftime? If not, what artist would you rather have seen selected? Let us know in the comments!
