Baltimore Ravens superstar quarterback Lamar Jackson is hoping to pull out a win on Christmas Day. But he’s also looking forward to seeing Beyoncé perform at halftime of the game.
While speaking to reporters on Monday (December 23), the former NFL MVP is excited to see “Queen Bey” in action for the first time.
“I’m going to go out there and watch,” Jackson said.
During halftime, players usually head to the locker room and miss the halftime activities. But Jackson is breaking with protocol with “Queen Bey.”
“I’m going to go out and watch,” he said.” First time seeing Beyonce perform and it’s at our game?! That’s dope,”
“Sorry Harbaugh, sorry,” Jackson continued, referring to John Harbaugh, the Ravens head coach.
“Not saying it like that, no disrespect,” he explained “I know how people can take things.”
In November, it was announced that Beyoncé would be performing on Christmas during the halftime show in her hometown. This performance will be the first time she’s performing songs 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. In 2013, she headlined the Super Bowl halftime show in 2013. At the time, the performance became the second most-watched Super Bowl halftime show in history.
According to reports, the set will include several “special guests” from her Cowboy Carter album joining her on stage.
In the highly-anticipated night of football, the Baltimore Ravens will face the Houston Texans Christmas Day game at 4:30 p.m. ET on Netflix from the Texans’ NRG Stadium in Houston.
The Kansas City Chiefs and Pittsburgh Steelers will kick off the festivities slate on Christmas Day at 1 p.m. ET.
