It appears that we finally have what amounts to pretty-much-confirmation that Beyoncé will indeed perform her surprise, just-dropped single "Formation" during her guest appearance at the Super Bowl halftime show. A mere half-hour before start of the show, she teased the performance through an Instagram video.
Though the song isn't exactly in the video (it features her background dancers cheering each other on during a rehearsal), the dance moves look suspiciously similar to those seen in the part of the music video that takes place in a drained indoor pool. See for yourself in the video below, and then again once she takes the stage.
