On Christmas Day, at NRG Stadium in her hometown of Texas, Beyoncé will play songs from “Cowboy Carter” during halftime of the NFL game between the Baltimore Ravens and the Houston Texans.
Netflix hinted in a press release on Sunday that it will feature “some special guests who are featured” on the “Drunk in Love” singer’s genre-bending country album, which featured collaborations with Dolly Parton, Miley Cyrus, Post Malone, Shaboozey, and other artists. However, there are few details available regarding the singer’s NFL performance.
Beyoncé’s firm, Parkwood Entertainment, and Jesse Collins Entertainment will co-produce the halftime show. This will be the first time she has played songs from the project since it was released in March.
The game will be streamed live on Netflix on Wednesday, December 25 at 4:30 p.m. ET.
Late on Sunday, the Grammy’s most nominated artist posted a promotional video for her performance on Instagram.
The 43-year-old singer of “Cuff It” was seen in the video standing on the hood of a car decorated in roses, with a Texas longhorn’s horns above the grill.
The car’s license plate said “BNCNTRY,” a reference to Beyoncé’s “Been Country” tagline, which responds to her detractors who claim she isn’t sufficiently country to be included in the genre.
In the video, Queen Bey caught a football while standing in front of a microphone while sporting a white cowboy hat and a red, white, and blue leather minidress.
She has performed at important NFL sporting events before.
Her “Cowboy Carter” opening song, “Ameriican Requiem,” which criticizes systematic racism and other social concerns in the US, was playing in the background of the post.
“There’s a lot of conversation going on here, but I want to clarify (Oh) / Can you hear me?” She sang. “Are we able to stand?”
It is nothing new for Beyoncé to perform at NFL major ceremonies.
Beyoncé was the main attraction in the New Orleans Super Bowl XLVII halftime show in 2013.
In 2018, Beyoncé and Chris Martin performed at Super Bowl 50.
She shared the stage with Coldplay and Bruno Mars during the Super Bowl 50 halftime show three years later.
