Right after rocking out at Super Bowl 50 last night, Beyoncé talked about the performance while backstage with “Extra's” AJ Calloway.
Beyoncé shared, “It was super exciting.”
The two-time Super Bowl performer also confirmed that her sexy outfit was an homage to Michael Jackson's Super Bowl 27 performance. “It was... it's the 50th anniversary, so I gave love to my favorite performer.”

Bey also showed some love to her Super Bowl 50 co-stars. “I'm very proud of Chris [Martin] and Coldplay and Bruno [Mars] was awesome.”
Before Beyoncé's big performance, AJ caught up with her husband Jay Z, who exclaimed, “It's halftime man!” AJ asked, “And who's performing?” Jay responded with a knowing look and laughed.
