Yummy Hits Pure Miami
Houston, we had liftoff! Beyoncé just turned Christmas into an unforgettable vibe with her iconic halftime performance during Netflix’s first-ever NFL Christmas Gameday. As the Houston Texans faced off against the Baltimore Ravens, Queen Bey made her hometown crowd proud, delivering a show-stopping set at NRG Stadium streamed live on Netflix.
Here’s the tea: The performance, produced by Parkwood Entertainment and Jesse Collins Entertainment, wasn’t just a halftime show—it was a moment. In a sprawling 12-minute spectacle, Beyoncé blessed us with the first live performancesof tracks from her record-breaking, 11-time Grammy-nominated album, COWBOY CARTER. Yup, the same album that just made history as the most Grammy-nominated by a female artist.

Queen Bey brought the yeehaw energy with songs like “16 CARRIAGES,” “BLACKBIIRD,” “AMERIICAN REQUIEM,” and the viral fave “TEXAS HOLD ‘EM.” Oh, and when she closed out with “TEXAS HOLD ‘EM,” she literally ascended to the rafters. Beyoncé doesn’t do subtle, y’all. And it wasn’t just Bey lighting up the stage. The guest list? Insane. Post Malone, Shaboozey, Reyna Roberts, Tanner Adell, Brittney Spencer, and Tiera Kennedy joined the fun. Plus, Blue Ivy Carter, Beyoncé’s eldest daughter, slayed as a featured dancer. Name a cooler family. We’ll wait.
Bey brought out legends like Mexican cowgirl Melanie Rivera, bull-riding icon Myrtis Dightman Jr., and Ja’Dayia Kursh, the first Black Rodeo Queen in Arkansas. If that wasn’t enough, Houston Texans owner Cal McNair and his wife, Hannah, rolled through, too. What’s a halftime show without some brass and beats? Beyoncé invited 200 members of Texas Southern University’s Ocean of Soul Marching Band, and they did not disappoint. Precision. Power. Pure vibes.
Beyoncé’s no rookie when it comes to NFL halftime stages. Remember when she broke the internet during Super Bowl XLVII in 2013 with her Destiny’s Child reunion? Or when she served “Formation” alongside Coldplay and Bruno Mars at Super Bowl 50 in 2016? Legends only.
But this? This was on another level. Netflix even teased that the “Beyoncé Bowl” will drop as a standalone special soon, so you can relive the magic on repeat.
Christmas 2024 belongs to Beyoncé. Period.
