Beyoncé will be making a live debut of songs from her album, “Cowboy Carter”, during the NFL’s Christmas Day halftime show on December 25. The event will take place at NRG Stadium in her hometown of Houston, Texas, during the Houston Texans versus Baltimore Ravens game.
The show will stream live on Netflix as part of the platform’s inaugural holiday NFL doubleheader.
“Cowboy Carter”, released in March 2024, is the second act of the artiste’s “Renaissance” trilogy and earned 11 Grammy nominations for 2025.
The setlist is expected to feature tracks including the chart-topping single “Texas Hold ‘Em,” which was the first song by a Black woman to top the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart.
Regarding the performance location, Beyoncé previously stated in a November announcement: “It’s only right that we do ‘Texas Hold ’Em’ for the first time in Texas, on Christmas.”
The halftime show will spotlight emerging Black country artistes Tanner Adell and Brittney Spencer, and Beyonce’s daughter Blue Ivy Carter, for dance segments. The performance continues Beyoncé’s history with the NFL, which includes headlining Super Bowl XLVII in 2013.
