Beyoncé shines in NFL halftime show with daughter Blue Ivy and surprise Post Malone duet: Live updates - Pop superstar performed at Netflix’s inaugural NFL Christmas Gameday halftime show in her homet
Beyoncé was the star performer during the Netflix Christmas Gameday Live broadcast—and she shared the spotlight with her 12-year-old daughter.
Beyoncé provided more excitement than either game during Netflix’s NFL debut on Christmas Day. Riding into her halftime appearance on a white horse, the 32-time Grammy winner rocked her hometown Houston crowd in a nearly 13-minute performance on Wednesday.
Beyoncè performed Super Bowl halftime shows in 2013 and 2016 — and is now returning to the NFL for a Christmas Day performance.
During her iconic Christmas Day halftime show on Netflix, Beyoncé gifted fans the live debuts of several songs from her latest couple of albums, including nine from Cowboy Carter. She performed during the game between the Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans.
For those who are less bothered about sports and more bothered about Queen Bey (fair play), fans watched the superstar take the stage to perform hits including likes of '16 Carriages', 'Jolene' and 'Texas Hold 'Em', and 'Blackbiird' from her album Cowboy Carter, while wearing a bejewelled bodysuit with a diamante belt and a statement cowboy hat.
The NFL Christmas Day doubleheader includes four teams that will be playing in the upcoming playoffs. Kansas City at Pittsburgh and Baltimore at Houston headline Christmas Day NFL action on Netflix with music superstar Beyonce performing the halftime show in her hometown of Houston.
While Beyoncé performed live for the Ravens-Texans game, a pre-taped Mariah Carey performance was played prior to the day’s first game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Pittsburgh Steelers. Taylor Swift was not in attendance for the Chiefs’ 29-10 win.
One NBA legend even called out Roger Goodell's league on Wednesday. LeBron James, after his Los Angeles Lakers beat the Golden State Warriors 115-113, made it known what sport he believes should dominate the Christmas Day slate. "I love the NFL," James said. "But Christmas is our day."
