Beyoncé Gifts NFL Fans Stellar Halftime Performance

Beyoncé gave football fans something to buzz about on Christmas Day. 

While the Houston Texans played the Baltimore Ravens Dec. 25, it was Queen Bey who took center stage during the halftime show at NRG Stadium in Houston. And it was quite the holiday spectacular.

The 43-year-old delivered a show-stopping performance that began with “16 Carriages,” before going into her other songs “Ya Ya,” “Riiverdance,” “Jolene,” and “Texas Hold ‘Em.” It was the first time she performed any songs from Cowboy Carter live. 

The Grammy winner was joined for a surprise appearance by Shaboozey, who took the stage with her to perform “Sweet Honey Buckin’,” and Post Malone, who joined her for a performance of their song “Levii’s Jeans.” Country singers Tanner Adell, Brittney Spencer, Tiera Kennedy and Reyna Roberts also took to the field for a beautiful performance of “Blackbiird.” 

But along with her special guests, Bey brought out her daughter Blue Ivy Carter, 12, to join the dozens of fellow cowboys shining on the dance floor with her. Backup dancers dressed in all-white filled the field with their bedazzled sashes, American flags and stunning dance formations.
