Beyonce and her mama Tina were all smiles yesterday following the Super Bowl press conference where Beyonce sung the National Anthem live for a room full of journalists.  After she passed that test, she switched out of her white Olcay Olsen freakum dress (otherwise known as the Slit back leather dress) and into an orange Antonio Berardi dress  for a candid interview with sportscasters Rich Eisen and Deion Sanders.

Bey brought a lot of personality to the interview as she talked about how supportive her husband is, her daughter and why she chose to open the Super Bowl press conference by singing the National Anthem.  She said, “I figured it was the best way to address it and move on.”

She also revealed that she’s been studying and researching other legendary artists who have performed during the half-time show:

When I decided to do this, when I was asked to do it, I went back and researched every performance I could find on the internet, So I’ve seen all of them over and over again. My favorite probably was Prince, of course I loved Madonna’s, I’ve studied Michael’s, all of my heroes, they were all great.

Before the interview was over, Deion and Rich begged and pleaded with Bey to reveal some tea on her performance, however, she only hit them with, “I’ll be singing live.”

Catch that interview, plus watch Beyonce put her back up singers in the spotlight in another rehearsal video teaser below:
