The rumors were true back in October. The NFL and NBC announced during last night’s Detroit Lions vs New Orleans Saints game that Madonna will be performing in the Super Bowl XLVI halftime show on NBC on Feb. 5.

Longtime choreographer Jamie King who danced with the First Lady of Pop herself as well as Michael Jackson and Prince before becoming a choreographer will also have a role in  producing the big performance.
