Beyoncé delivered a spectacular Christmas gift to fans during the Texans-Ravens NFL game on Christmas Day in Houston, Texas. Performing in her hometown, the global superstar made her live debut of songs from her 2024 album Cowboy Carter in a show-stopping halftime performance.
The set began with a dramatic entrance as Beyoncé rode into the stadium on horseback, singing “16 Carriages.” The performance quickly transitioned into a soulful rendition of The Beatles’ “Blackbird,” featuring country collaborators Tanner Adell, Brittney Spencer, Tiera Kennedy, and Reyna Roberts.
Fans were thrilled by a surprise appearance from Post Malone, joining Beyoncé for their hit duet “Levii’s Jeans.” Country star Shaboozey also graced the stage for a heartfelt duet. Backed by a dynamic marching band, Beyoncé performed the upbeat “Ya Ya” and invited her daughter, Blue Ivy, to join her on stage for the crowd-favorite “Texas Hold ‘Em.”
The show concluded with Beyoncé elevated on a white platform, bidding the audience farewell with a heartfelt “Merry Christmas, God bless y’all.” The performance marked yet another milestone in her history of iconic NFL events, following her Super Bowl appearances in 2013 and 2016.
Netflix, the official streaming partner of the game, ensured millions witnessed the spectacle, following technical upgrades after their infamous livestream hiccup earlier this year. Beyoncé’s halftime show added a memorable chapter to an already festive day, proving once again why she reigns as Queen Bey.
