Beyoncé’s upcoming halftime show has generated considerable excitement. Scheduled for Christmas Day, this performance marks her first as part of an NFL game outside the Super Bowl. The Houston native will take the stage during the second game of a holiday doubleheader featuring the Texans against the Ravens at NRG Stadium.
A live streaming option will be available on Netflix, creating a unique viewing experience for fans unable to attend the game in person. The performance will also be showcased on CBS local stations in the competing teams’ cities, ensuring that a wide audience can enjoy it.
The halftime show will feature material from Beyoncé’s latest album, *Cowboy Carter*. This marks the first time she will perform songs from the album live. *Cowboy Carter* has seen significant success, breaking streaming records and highlighting the talents of various country artists, especially Black women in the genre.
Expectations are high for special guest appearances, as several artists collaborated on the album. Notable contributors include Dolly Parton, Miley Cyrus, and Post Malone. All three have previously graced NFL stages, making their inclusion in the performance a tantalizing possibility.
As for the setlist, “Texas Hold Em” is a strong candidate, given its Texas roots and her recent chart-topping achievements. The opening song might be “Ameriican Requiem,” establishing a powerful beginning for the performance. Collaborative tracks like “Levii’s Jeans” featuring Post Malone will likely be performed if he joins her onstage.
Beyoncé’s deep catalog provides additional options should she choose to incorporate older hits. Past halftime performances showcased her ability to blend new material with timeless favorites.
Her return to the spotlight on a day filled with holiday festivities and football promises to be memorable. Fans eagerly await this unique intersection of sports and music, poised for a halftime show that combines talent, celebration, and cultural significance.
