Grammy-winning singer Beyoncé Knowles-Carter teased reporters about the motivation behind her new “Formation” single this past weekend.

Approached by media during Super Bowl 50 last night (February 7), Queen Bey briefly touched on her overnight smash.

“It makes me proud,” Beyonce told ET’s Kevin Frazier, who caught up with the singer at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California on Sunday, after the halftime show ended. For Beyonce, “Formation” is more than just another song — she wants it to have a positive impact on her fans’ lives. “I wanted people to feel proud,” Beyonce said of the new single, “and have love for themselves.” (ET)

Queen Bey lit up Super Bowl 50 last night (February 7) by sharing the stage with music stars Bruno Mars and Coldplay.

The 34-year-old singer performed on the field right after Bruno Mars sang his hit song “Uptown Funk.” After she performed a bit of the song, Bey got on stage with Bruno and battled it out with their hot songs. Such an epic moment! Bey and Bruno joined Coldplay on stage for the finale to perform the bands’ song “Up and Up.”

According to reports, Bey will start touring the world in late April.

Beyonce will embark on her first headlining stadium tour this summer with the 40-date Formation tour, set to begin April 27. Tickets will go on sale next week, starting with an Amex pre-sale. The tour’s 40 shows will be split fairly evenly between North America and the U.K. and Europe, with Canada and the U.S. to run through mid-June. The U.K./Europe leg will start in mid-June and run through July. (Billboard)

Prior to performing at Super Bowl 50, Bey and her hip-hop husband Jay Z attended a Golden State Warriors basketball game.
