Beyoncé’s first performance since releasing Cowboy Carter will be available to watch for anyone with a Netflix subscription. The singer announced she’s playing the halftime show at the NFL’s Christmas Day game, at NRG Stadium, in her hometown of Houston, Texas. The game, which is between the Houston Texans and the Baltimore Ravens, will be streamed live on Netflix on December 25. Fans can also watch it on broadcast TV in the competing team’s cities. Watch Beyoncé’s teaser video for the event below.
According to a press release, from Netflix, details of Beyoncé’s performance are under wraps, but she is “expected to feature some special guests who are featured on the Cowboy Carter album.” That doesn’t quite narrow down the long list of musicians to whom that applies, including Dolly Parton, Linda Martell, Willie Nelson, Shaboozey, Tanner Adell, Brittney Spencer, Tiera Kennedy, Reyna Roberts, Post Malone, Miley Cyrus, Willie Jones, Stevie Wonder, Paul McCartney, Nile Rodgers, Rhiannon Giddens, Jon Batiste, Gary Clark Jr., and Robert Randolph.
Cowboy Carter is Beyoncé’s eighth No. 1 album and the latest to earn an Album of the Year nod at the Grammy Awards. The pop-turned-country star leads the 2025 Grammy Awards so far with 11 nominations, raising her status from the most decorated artist in the Recording Academy to also include holding the most nominations of all time, with a casual 99 nods. But that didn’t stop the 58th Annual Country Music Association Awards from snubbing her anyway.
