Houston, brace yourselves—this Christmas, Queen Bey is set to light up the gridiron with a halftime show that promises to be as legendary as a Texas two-step. On November 17th, Beyoncé broke the internet with the announcement that she’ll be performing at the Houston Texans vs. Baltimore Ravens game on December 25th, 2024. The teaser video was a touchdown all on its own, featuring the icon effortlessly catching a football and belting out notes on top of a classic muscle car embellished with red roses and Texas longhorns. Her “Texas Hold ‘Em” vibe was undeniable, and fans are already speculating about what surprises she has in store.
Netflix, the Christmas miracle worker, is airing the Texans-Ravens showdown alongside the Chiefs-Steelers game, but let’s be honest, all eyes will be on Beyoncé. The streaming giant teased that the halftime show will include “some special guests who are featured on the Cowboy Carter album.” This is the first time Queen Bey will be showcasing tracks from Cowboy Carter live, an album that’s already lassoed several Grammy nominations for 2025. With such high stakes, the anticipation is skyrocketing faster than a Hail Mary pass in overtime.
This performance marks Beyoncé’s triumphant return to the NFL stage, nearly a decade after she dominated the Super Bowl 50 halftime show alongside Coldplay and Bruno Mars. Fans might recall her unforgettable headlining performance in 2013, but this time, she’s bringing a fresh setlist and perhaps a few cowboy hats. As the countdown to Christmas Day begins, one thing is clear: Beyoncé is about to make Houston the center of the universe—turning the halftime show into a full-time celebration. So, grab your popcorn and cowboy boots, because this holiday, Beyoncé’s bringing more than just joy to the world.
