Watch Beyoncé’s NFL Christmas Halftime Show on Netflix

Beyoncé performed at the Baltimore Ravens vs. Houston Texans Christmas Day game last night, 12/25. The Houston native brought out Shaboozey, Post Malone, Tanner Adell, and more for the live debut of several tracks from COWBOY CARTER. To watch the full show at NRG Stadium, you’ll need a Netflix account. Catch the halftime performance at the 2:09:00 mark of the Ravens vs. Texans game.

Backed by a marching band, dancers, and daughter Blue Ivy Carter, the pop icon delivered a show featuring standout tracks from her country album, including “TEXAS HOLD ’EM,” “YA YA,” and “RIIVERDANCE.” Right after the show’s end, Knowles-Carter posted a video to her socials teasing the date 14 January 2025, and it’s currently unknown what will occurred then.

Beyoncé began the halftime performance astride a horse in the stadium’s tunnels while singing “16 CARRIAGES” before transitioning into a cover of the Beatles’ “Blackbird.” Beyoncé was joined by Adell, Tiera Kennedy, Reyna Roberts, and Brittney Spencer, who sang backup vocals on the album version.

Following this, Beyoncé entered the field and performed “YA YA", and RENAISSANCE cut “MY HOUSE”. She was later joined by Blue Ivy and Shaboozey during “RIIVERDANCE” and “SWEET★HONEY★BUCKIIN’”, respectively. Post Malone joined her for short duet of "LEVII’S JEANS".

Nearing the end of the show, Beyoncé performed her cover of Dolly Parton’s “Jolene” and closed it out with her Billboard number-one hit “TEXAS HOLD ‘EM.” Blue Ivy joined her again for a short line dance before Knowles-Carter was hoisted above the stadium and wished the crowd a Merry Christmas.
