Beyonce set the stage on fire as she performed the halftime show for Netflix’s NFL Christmas Gameday broadcast at NRG Stadium on Wednesday, December 25, 2024.
The show marked Beyonce’s first live performance of her songs from her latest album Cowboy Carter. The event took place during the game between the Baltimore Ravens and the Houston Texans.
Beyoncé, famously known for her hit song "Crazy in Love," has graced the NFL stage three times, leaving an unforgettable mark each time. Her first iconic performance was in 2013 when she headlined the Super Bowl XLVII halftime show, delivering a high-energy spectacle that featured a much-anticipated reunion with Destiny’s Child. The performance was widely praised for its powerful vocals, elaborate choreography, and electrifying stage presence.
In 2016, Beyoncé returned to the Super Bowl halftime stage as a special guest during Coldplay’s headlining performance. She captivated the audience with a show-stopping rendition of her hit "Formation," which had just been released the day before. Her politically charged performance made headlines, showcasing her signature blend of artistry and activism.
Most recently, Beyoncé once again took the spotlight on the NFL stage, continuing her tradition of delivering memorable and impactful performances that solidify her status as one of the greatest entertainers of all time.
The 32-time Grammy-Award winner made a grand entrance, dressed in a white-feathered outfit and a cowboy hat as she sang 16 Carriages while riding a white horse.
Beyonce went on to perform other renditions from her tracks including Blackbird, Levii’s Jeans, and Texas Hold’Em. Her performance garnered huge praise from the audience and her fans on social media.
