Beyoncé delivered an unforgettable performance during the Netflix Christmas Day halftime show, setting the stage on fire with her star power. The iconic pop star took center stage at NRG Stadium, where the Houston Texans faced the Baltimore Ravens, but the game quickly became secondary to the explosive Beyoncé halftime show. Joining Beyoncé were special guests Post Malone, Shaboozey, and her daughter Blue Ivy, making it a night to remember.
The show began with a pre-recorded segment, where Beyoncé, wearing a white cowboy hat, performed “16 Carriages” while riding a white horse. This moment marked the first time she performed tracks from her highly anticipated Cowboy Carter album live. Shortly after, Beyoncé was joined by rising country stars Tanner Adell, Tiera Kennedy, Reyna Roberts, and Brittney Spencer for a moving rendition of The Beatles’ “Blackbird,” showcasing Beyoncé’s powerful vocal range.
As the live performance kicked into high gear, Beyoncé dazzled the crowd in a sparkling white leotard and matching chaps. She performed “Ya Ya,” a track nominated for a Grammy, bringing intense energy to the stadium. With dozens of dancers and musicians backing her up, Beyoncé’s performance harkened back to the #Beychella vibes from her legendary 2018 Coachella performance.
The surprise collaborations continued as Shaboozey joined Beyoncé for the electrifying performance of “Spaghetti,” followed by Post Malone’s appearance for their joint rendition of “Levi’s Jeans,” performed in front of a truck covered in denim. The crowd went wild when Blue Ivy joined her mother on stage during “Texas Hold ‘Em,” a hit that topped both the country and pop charts earlier this year. Beyoncé praised the Texas crowd, saying, “It’s only right we do ‘Texas Hold ‘Em’ in Texas for the first time.”
Beyoncé’s performance was nothing short of mesmerizing, taking the Christmas Day halftime show to an entirely new level. The electric atmosphere might just make the Christmas Day halftime show as coveted as the Super Bowl Halftime performance. With final Grammy voting taking place over the holidays, Beyoncé, with 10 nominations—including four in country music—was already set to dominate the awards season.
Throughout the show, Beyoncé made full use of the stadium, performing Dolly Parton’s “Jolene” while riding in a car and closing the show by ascending high above the stage. As she wrapped up the performance, Beyoncé expressed her gratitude to the audience: “Merry Christmas! God Bless y’all. Thank you so much!”


Beyoncé’s show-stopping Christmas Day halftime performance has redefined the holiday tradition, bringing fans an unforgettable experience, and cementing her legacy as one of the most influential performers in modern music.
