Beyoncé has shared her thoughts on her Super Bowl performance in an open letter posted online.

The singer uploaded a handwritten note on her website praising her Destiny's Child bandmates and the event's other performers - Alicia Keys and Jennifer Hudson - after the massive ceremony last night (January 3) in New Orleans.

The simple but powerful letter called performing again with Destiny's Child an "honour" and acknowledged the role of African American women in the ceremony. She said:

"What a proud day for African American women!!!! Kelly, Michelle, Alicia, Jhud, you are all beautiful talented and showed so much class! It was an honour to perform at the Super Bowl with you phenomenal ladies, love Beyoncé."

Beyoncé powered through a set of solo material at the show, which was watched by millions around the world, before reuniting with Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams.

As previously reported, Beyoncé has announced a number of worldwide tour dates due to take place later this year, with six shows planned for the UK.
