Beyoncé to perform at halftime for NFL Christmas Day game on Netflix
Beyoncé will perform in her hometown of Houston during an NFL Christmas Day game streaming on Netflix.
The “Cowboy Carter” Christmas countdown has began, and Beyoncé Knowles-Carter is gearing up to hit the stage for her highly anticipated NFL halftime performance during the Texans and Ravens football game on Dec. 25.
Recently, the megastar teased up the show in a short clip, and a day later Netflix announced that the Queen of Christmas–Mariah Carey–will also perform during the live Christmas Day games on the streaming service.
As fans know, last month the Texans and the Grammy-winning singer revealed that Queen Bey will perform during halftime of the Baltimore vs, Houston game at NRG Stadium on Christmas Day. Immediately following the announcement, fans went searching for tickets causing prices to skyrocket.
Ahead of the the big game, which will stream live on Netflix, here’s everything fans need to know.
Will Beyoncé and Mariah Carey perform on the same stage?
No, the Queen of Christmas and Queen Bey will not perform live on the same stage, though fans will get to watch both singers perform.
Beyoncé will perform live in her hometown during the halftime show of the Texans-Ravens game.
Carey will kick off the several Christmas Day games with a taped performance of her record-breaking hit “All I Want for Christmas Is You” for the first-ever NFL Christmas Gameday live on Netflix on Dec. 25.
Carey’s taped performance will air prior to the Chiefs game against the Steelers at 1 p.m. ET and the Ravens–Texans game, which kicks off at 4:30 p.m. ET.
Will Beyoncé perform alone?
Beyoncé creator is expected to feature some special guest, whom she collaborated with on her eighth studio album. The halftime show will mark the first live performance of songs from her groundbreaking album, “Cowboy Carter,” which featured music giants such as Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, Linda Martell, Miley Cyrus and Post Malone.
The 27-track project also featured emerging Black country and genre-bending artists such as Shaboozey, Willie Jones Tanner Adell, Tiera Kennedy, Reyna Roberts and Brittney Spencer.
Has her halftime performance extended to 20 minutes?
While there have been reports that Beyoncé’s halftime performance has been extended to 20 minutes, rather than the usual 12-15 minute show, this is not the case.
Beyoncé’s publicist Yvette Noel-Schure responded to a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, telling fans that her set is in fact not 20 minutes long.
It’s only a matter of days until Bey shows what’s been up her sleeve.
