Coldplay’s performance all related back to the LGBT community- evident through all of the colors that were spread throughout the stadium. At the end of the riveting performance, part of the audience all held up papers that read “Believe In Love.”  

“Beyonce was definitely my favorite performance for the Pepsi halftime, I really enjoyed the different performers this year for the 50th Super Bowl. It was really entertaining having more than one artist perform,” said senior Marisa Scialla.

“I was very stunned and confused by Coldplay’s performance, but I loved Beyonce and especially Bruno Mars, he makes me wants to jump out of my seat and start dancing,” said senior Sarah Mazer.
