How to rewatch Beyoncé’s halftime performance during the Texans-Ravens game
Correction: This is Texas.
Beyoncé graced the NFL with another halftime performance, this time as her hometown team, the Houston Texans, hosted the Baltimore Ravens on Christmas Day. She performed a medley of songs off her country music album, the Grammy-nominated “Cowboy Carter,” released earlier this year.
This was the first time Beyoncé performed live songs from her platinum-certified record, Netflix said. The streaming giant was the global home of the Texans-Ravens matchup, as well as the Kansas City Chiefs-Pittsburgh Steelers game that streamed earlier in the day.
Post Malone and Shaboozey, who are featured on “Cowboy Carter,” made special appearances during the Christmas Day performance. Brittney Spencer, Tiera Kennedy and Reyna Roberts also joined for “Blackbiird.” And Beyoncé’s oldest child, Blue Ivy Carter, joined her as a backup dancer for her last song, “Texas Hold ‘Em.”
The last time Beyoncé took the stage during an NFL halftime was Super Bowl 50 in 2016, when Coldplay headlined and Bruno Mars also performed. In 2013, Beyoncé headlined the Super Bowl 47 halftime, which became the second most-watched Super Bowl halftime performance at the time, per Netflix. During the performance, Beyoncé reunited with members of her former group Destiny’s Child.
Beyoncé received 11 Grammy nominations for “Cowboy Carter” this year, which made her the most nominated artist in Grammy history. She was nominated for record of the year, album of the year and best country album.
