Beyoncé is giving football fans a major treat this Christmas with a hometown halftime show in Houston. The music icon announced on Sunday, November 17th that she’ll be performing at the Houston Texans vs. Baltimore Ravens game on December 25th. In a teaser video released online, Beyoncé appears catching a football and singing on top of a classic muscle car decorated with red roses and Texas longhorns, channeling her “Texas Hold ‘Em” vibe.
Netflix, which is airing the Texans-Ravens game along with the Chiefs-Steelers game on Christmas Day, shared that Beyoncé will have “some special guests who are featured on the Cowboy Carter album.” This performance will be the first time she’s showcasing material from Cowboy Carter, which has already earned several Grammy nominations for 2025. It also marks her first return to an NFL stage in nearly ten years since her guest appearance during Coldplay and Bruno Mars’ Super Bowl 50 performance, following her headlining Super Bowl halftime show in 2013.
Reflecting on her album’s impact, which broke records and made waves in both country and pop, Beyoncé said, “When you are breaking down barriers, not everyone is ready and open for a shift.” She added, “But when I see Shaboozey tearing the charts up and all the beautiful female country singers flying to new heights… that is exactly what motivates me.”
Beyoncé continued, “There was a time in my life when charts and sales excited and motivated me… I’m very grateful and humbled for the extraordinary success of the new album.” She concluded, “The music industry gatekeepers are not happy about the idea of bending genres, especially coming from a Black artist and definitely not a woman.”
