Global superstar Beyoncé is set to deliver a landmark performance during the NFL’s Christmas Day game between the Houston Texans and the Baltimore Ravens at NRG Stadium in Houston. This highly anticipated halftime show will mark the first live rendition of tracks from her critically acclaimed country album, Cowboy Carter.
Announcing the event on her Instagram, Beyoncé shared a video featuring her in patriotic attire, accompanied by an a cappella version of “AMERIICAN REQUIEM.” The performance is scheduled for December 25, 2024, and will be streamed live on Netflix, marking the platform’s inaugural live NFL game broadcast.
Cowboy Carter, released earlier this year, showcases Beyoncé’s versatility, blending country influences with her signature style. The album has garnered significant acclaim, earning 11 Grammy nominations, including categories in country music, and contributing to Beyoncé’s record as the most-nominated artist in Grammy history, with a total of 99 nominations.
This performance adds to Beyoncé’s illustrious history with the NFL. She previously headlined the Super Bowl XLVII halftime show in 2013 and returned in 2016 alongside Coldplay and Bruno Mars, delivering performances that captivated millions worldwide.
Fans can anticipate a dynamic show, potentially featuring special guests from the Cowboy Carter album, which includes collaborations with artists like Dolly Parton, Miley Cyrus, and Post Malone. The event promises to be a festive highlight, blending sports and entertainment on a global stage.
