Slate  

Photo by Mark Davis/Getty Images On Saturday, HBO will air Beyoncé and Jay Z: On the Run, the concert special for those of us who weren’t lucky enough to snag tickets to the duo’s first full-fledged tour. “Proud Mary,” Grammy Awards with Tina Turner Aside from Diana Ross, Beyoncé’s most direct inspiration is probably Tina Turner, so it was only fitting that she would pay tribute by performing alongside the musical icon. “Beyoncé Medley,” Super Bowl Halftime Show Excess at its best: With a brief and very welcome assist from former Destiny’s Child members Kelly and Michelle, Beyoncé performs an epic 13-minute medley. Many of her greatest hits are here—“Crazy In Love,” “Single Ladies,” “Halo”—and the Super Bowl Halftime Show feels electric in a way it hadn’t in a long time. “Run the World,” Billboard Music Awards Beyoncé’s disappointingly opaque HBO documentary, Life Is But a Dream, treated the intense preparation for this performance as a career-defining moment—and the result is nothing short of that.
