On Christmas Day, Beyoncé delivered a jaw-dropping halftime performance at Netflix’s inaugural NFL Christmas Gameday.
The Baltimore Ravens faced the Houston Texans at the NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas. The real game-changer was Queen Bey.
BEYONCÉ’S TRIBUTE TO WESTERN AND RODEO CULTURE
She lit up her hometown with an unforgettable performance that fans won’t stop talking about anytime soon.
This historic set marked Beyoncé’s first live showcase of songs from her acclaimed album Cowboy Carter, according to Netflix.
Packed with hits, the 11-time Grammy-nominated album has smashed records as the most nominated album by a female artist.
“Performing these songs live in my hometown is beyond a dream,” Beyoncé shared. “Houston, this is for you!”
BEYONCÉ’S HIT SONGS
The 12-minute set fused music, fashion, and culture.
Tracks like 16 Carriages, Blackbiird, and the chart-topper Texas Hold ’Em left the crowd buzzing.
Beyoncé closed the show with a theatrical lift into the rafters, leaving fans in awe.
Beyoncé brought an entourage of stars to the stage. Guest performers included Post Malone, Shaboozey, and Reyna Roberts, among others, according to New York Times.
The Texas Southern University’s Ocean of Soul Marching Band also brought electrifying choreography. “We wanted to celebrate culture on the grandest stage,” Beyoncé explained.
BEYONCÉ’S RODEO TRIBUTE
The tribute to rodeo and Western traditions stood out. Legends like Myrtis Dightman Jr., the first Black bull-rider in the Hall of Fame, joined the show.
The crowd also cheered for Nikki Woodward, a former Miss Rodeo Texas, and Ja’Dayia Kursh, Arkansas’ first Black Rodeo Queen.
Beyoncé noted, “This performance honours everyone who paved the way.”
For Beyoncé, NFL halftime shows are familiar territory.
THE SUPER BOWL
She dazzled at Super Bowl XLVII in 2013, performing alongside Destiny’s Child. She did it again in 2016, when she joined Coldplay and Bruno Mars for the iconic Formation performance, according to USA Today.
Fans worldwide, including South Africans, remember those legendary moments.
The festive extravaganza didn’t stop at the stadium. Netflix plans to release Beyoncé Bowl as a standalone special this week.
