‘Super’ gig for Beyoncé

All the single ladies will be watching the upcoming Super Bowl along with football lovers — because Beyoncé is the halftime show’s headliner.

The NFL confirmed it yesterday after Beyoncé posted a photo of herself sporting eye black — saying “Feb. 3” on one side and “2013” on the other — on her Tumblr page.

The Super Bowl is set for Feb. 3, 2013, at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans.

Beyoncé, whose pop and R&B hits include “Crazy in Love,” ‘‘Irreplaceable” and “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It),” has won 16 Grammy Awards.

The 31-year-old sang the national anthem at the 2004 Super Bowl in her hometown of Houston.

Madonna performed at halftime at this year’s Super Bowl in February — a show seen by 114 million people, more than the 11.3 million fans who watched the New York Giants defeat the New England Patriots.
