New song: Beyoncé surprised fans on Saturday by dropping a video to Formation on Saturday. It opens with the singer on top of a flooded New Orleans police car, pointing to the state of Louisiana in the wake of Hurricane Katrina

It was on Saturday she dropped a video to Formation, which features flood-ridden New Orleans and a line of white cops facing a hooded little boy.

'Let's get in formation... Prove to me you got some co-ordination,' she chants before the camera pans over graffiti that says: 'stop shooting us'.

Within minutes of the video's release, Twitter was awash with reactions to the fiercely political lyrics and scenes - and a cameo role from the singer's four-year-old daughter with Jay Z, Blue Ivy.

It was still trending worldwide on Sunday as the Super Bowl - the most watched TV event of the year - approached.
