Mark your calendars, as a holiday treat is on the way! Beyoncé is set to return to her roots this Christmas Day, performing during the halftime show of the highly anticipated NFL matchup between the Houston Texans and the Baltimore Ravens. This exciting news was unveiled by Netflix in a press release last Sunday.
In an official statement, Netflix declared, “Your early Christmas wish has been granted—Beyoncé will perform during Netflix’s first-ever NFL Christmas Gameday.” The details of her performance remain closely guarded, but fans can expect some thrilling surprises, as the star is likely to be joined by special guests from her recent “COWBOY CARTER” album.
This event marks Beyoncé’s third halftime show for the NFL, following her memorable performances at Super Bowls in 2013 and 2016. In a sneak peek shared on Instagram, we see Beyoncé atop a vintage car, passionately singing her new single, “American Requiem,” while holding a football—a sight that promises to be both nostalgic and electrifying.
This year, Netflix is set to stream both NFL Christmas Day games as part of a broader three-year partnership with the league. The festivities kick off with the Kansas City Chiefs facing off against the Pittsburgh Steelers at 1 p.m. ET, followed by the Ravens taking on the Texans at 4:30 p.m. ET.
The announcement comes on the heels of a notable event hosted by Netflix featuring a much-publicized boxing match between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul, which garnered a record 60 million viewers. However, fans took to social media to express frustration over technical difficulties like buffering and lag during the live event.
As we gear up for this grand holiday celebration in Houston, one thing is clear: Beyoncé’s performance is sure to be a highlight of the festive season. Prepare yourselves for an unforgettable Christmas in Music City!
