It was a “Cowboy Carter” Christmas to remember as Beyoncé delivered a show-stopping Halftime performance at this year’s Christmas Day NFL game, marking the first-ever NFL game broadcast on Netflix. The global icon turned the stage into a vibrant celebration of her latest project, Cowboy Carter, treating fans to an unforgettable holiday spectacle.
Beyoncé performed several tracks from Cowboy Carter, including fan favorites like “16 CARRIAGES,” “BLACKBIIRD,” “YA YA,” “MY HOUSE,” and “TEXAS HOLD ‘EM.” But the surprises didn’t stop there. She was joined by special guests Shaboozey for the electrifying “SWEET HONEY BUCKIIN’,” Post Malone for the high-energy “LEVII’S JEANS,” and Tanner Adell, Brittney Spencer, Reyna Spencer, and Tierra Kennedy for the emotional anthem “BLACKBIIRD.”
The spotlight also shone on Beyoncé’s 12-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy, who joined her mother as a backup dancer. Having made her debut during the 2023 Renaissance Tour, Blue once again showcased her poise and talent on one of the world’s biggest stages.
In true Beyoncé fashion, the performance was accompanied by a cryptic Instagram post of her waving a flag while on horseback, sparking speculation about what’s next for the Queen. With no tour or music video announcements since Cowboy Carter’s release, fans are buzzing about what’s cooking in Bey’s world.
NFL executive Hans Schroeder praised Netflix for the collaboration, calling Beyoncé’s involvement a game-changing moment. “Adding a star of Beyoncé’s level elevated this global event to something truly extraordinary,” Schroeder shared.
From the dazzling performances to Blue Ivy’s continued rise, this Christmas Day Halftime Show was an unforgettable moment in NFL and Beyoncé history.
