International superstar Beyoncé has hinted that she will be performing at the famed Super Bowl half time show next year.

Reports surfaced earlier today (October 16) that suggested the 'Halo' sensation had been scheduled as the main performer for the event, which in the past has seen much talked about live sets from the likes of Madonna and the Black Eyed Peas, but she posted a photo to her official Tumblr page this afternoon that self-confirmed the exciting news.

In the picture (shown below), Beyoncé can be seen with strips of facepaint on either cheek and on them are the words "Feb 3 2013", which is the date that the Super Bowl will take place next year in New Orleans.

This will be her second appearance at the world-renowned sporting event as back in 2004 she sang the American national anthem although she has not yet been the musical guest.
