Beyoncé to Shine at NFL Christmas Gameday Live on Netflix
Beyoncé is going to light up fans with a one-of-a-kind performance during the halftime show of the Houston Texans versus Baltimore Ravens game on December 25th. Live streamed on Netflix from Houston's NRG Stadium, the event will be the global icon's first live performance of songs from her Grammy-nominated country-inspired album, Cowboy Carter.
Trading her memorable Super Bowl appearances for an NFL Christmas spectacle, Beyoncé is heading back to her hometown to deliver an unforgettable holiday experience.
A Groundbreaking Album Takes Center Stage
Released earlier this year, Cowboy Carter has shattered records and boundaries. The album topped both the Billboard 200—her eighth consecutive number-one record—and the Top Country Albums chart, blending country influences with her signature style.
Fans can expect a breathtaking performance as Netflix previewed Beyoncé in a teaser video. Dressed in patriotic Western attire, she gracefully sits atop a rose-covered vintage car, singing a cappella version of “AMERIICAN REQUIEM” while effortlessly catching a football.
A Grammy Powerhouse
Cowboy Carter has garnered 11 Grammy nominations, a milestone for Beyoncé’s venture into country music. These include nods for Best Country Solo Performance with “16 CARRIAGES,” Best Country Duo/Group Performance alongside Miley Cyrus for “II MOST WANTED,” and Best Country Song for “TEXAS HOLD ‘EM.” Additionally, she’s up for Best Country Album, Best Americana Performance for “YA YA,” and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance with Post Malone for “LEVII’S JEANS.”
A Legendary NFL Halftime Performer
This Christmas Day event marks Beyoncé’s return to the NFL halftime stage, following her iconic Super Bowl performances. In 2013, she reunited with Destiny’s Child, and in 2016, she joined Coldplay and Bruno Mars for an electrifying show.
Netflix’s Bold Entry into Live Sports
Netflix's NFL Christmas Gameday represents a watershed moment for the streamer, shelling out $75 million per game in its maiden live sports outing. The day kicks off with a Christmas Day doubleheader opener: the Kansas City Chiefs vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers at 1 p.m. ET, leading into the Texans vs. Ravens game at 4:30 p.m. ET. Both games, along with Beyoncé's highly publicized performance, will be available on Netflix and through regional broadcasts and NFL+.
This holiday season, Beyoncé is set to deliver not just a performance but a historic moment for music and sports fans alike.
