Why are people expecting her to have beaten Katy when the game itself had lower ratings than last year's? Clearly the actual game has the most impact on halftime ratings, you can't fault Bey (or the other two performers) for not matching last year's numbers when the whole night and main event were down as well.
Regardless, congrats to Bey for being the standout performance, most watched, most discussed, and most acclaimed from last night.
