Beyoncé is set to deliver an unforgettable Christmas treat to football fans in her hometown of Houston this year.
The iconic singer revealed on Sunday (November 17) that she will perform a highly anticipated halftime show during the Houston Texans’ game against the Baltimore Ravens on December 25.
In a teaser posted online, Beyoncé—known for hits like “Texas Hold ‘Em”—is seen catching a football and belting into a microphone while perched on a classic muscle car, draped with red roses and a longhorn emblem.
Netflix, which will be broadcasting the game alongside another Christmas Day matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Pittsburgh Steelers, shared that Beyoncé will bring along “special guests featured on the Cowboy Carter album.”
This holiday halftime show will be Beyoncé’s debut live performance of songs from Cowboy Carter, the album that’s already making waves with multiple nominations at the 2025 Grammy Awards.
It will also be her first NFL appearance in nearly ten years since her guest performance with Coldplay and Bruno Mars during Super Bowl 50. Beyoncé previously headlined the halftime show in 2013.
Following the album’s record-breaking success, which not only shattered music industry records but also defied racial boundaries, Beyoncé opened up about the impact of her country-inspired Cowboy Carter.
“When you’re breaking barriers, not everyone is ready for the change,” she shared with The Hollywood Reporter. “But when I see artists like Shaboozey topping the charts and all the incredible female country singers rising to new heights, inspiring the world—that’s exactly what drives me.”
She continued, reflecting on her growth as an artist: “There was a time when charts and sales excited me, but now that I’ve poured every bit of my soul—my pain, growth, and dreams—into my music, it’s impossible to look back. I’m incredibly grateful for the success of this new album.”
Beyoncé concluded, “It’s an honor to help introduce people to the roots of so many genres. I’m overjoyed that my fans trusted me. The music industry gatekeepers may not be thrilled with bending genres, especially from a Black artist and definitely not from a woman.”
