WASHINGTON — Beyoncé made sure everyone had a Merry Christmas by delivering an incredible halftime show on Netflix.
Beyoncé, also known as Queen Bey, took the stage at NRG Stadium on Christmas Day during the Ravens-Texans game. This marked the first time she performed songs from her country album, “Cowboy Carter,” in front of a live audience. It was a special moment for her fans.
Arriving at her halftime performance on a majestic white horse, the legendary artist wowed the crowd in her hometown of Houston with a breathtaking 13-minute show. Her incredible talent and stage presence captivated the audience and left everyone in awe.
During her halftime show, Beyoncé performed a selection of songs from her country album, including hits like “16 Carriages,” “Blackbird,” “Sweet Honey Buckiin”, “Levii’s Jeans,” “Jolene,” and “Texas Hold ‘Em.” The setlist showcased her versatility as an artist and delighted the fans who gathered to watch her perform.
There were also some special guests along the way including Shaboozey, Post Malone and Beyoncé’s own daughter Blue Ivy Carter. She was also joined by Brittney Spencer, Reyna Roberts, Tanner Adell and Tiera Kennedy.

Beyoncé January 14, 2025
Immediately after the performance, Beyoncé dropped a teaser on social media that ended with the date Jan. 14, 2025. The internet was immediately filled with speculation about what exactly that could mean. Some have theorized it could be a tour announcement or the release of the third act from her “Renaissance” era, which was initially introduced as a three-part act, with “Cowboy Carter” being the second.
It was during the 2024 Super Bowl that Beyoncé “broke the internet” by announcing she’d be releasing new music, which was later revealed to be the “Cowboy Carter” album. Fans were sent into a frenzy online when that happened as they scoured the internet to find the new music she had announced. Look on the bright side, January 14 is less than three weeks away!
