Beyoncé to Perform at NFL Christmas Gameday Halftime Show

In her hometown of Houston, Texas, Beyoncé is set to headline the NFL's Christmas Day halftime show during the Baltimore Ravens vs. Houston Texans game at NRG Stadium. The highly anticipated performance, dubbed "A Cowboy Carter Christmas," will feature live renditions of songs from her latest album and stream exclusively on Netflix, marking a historic collaboration between the NFL and the streaming platform.

Expect a healthy dose of holiday euphoria and country acts aplenty on this year's Christmas Day NFL halftime show.

It is an especially notable achievement for Beyoncé, who became the first Black woman to chart the country album's top spot in its 60 years.

Is the Show Performance Pre-Taped or Live?

Beyoncé's performance has raised a lot of talk. Complexities come with a Christmas Day show and the high production values of her performances mean that some elements may be pre-recorded. It's not unusual in NFL halftime shows, where the tradition has been to combine live and pre-recorded elements.

It’s a question of getting the balance right, technically perfect, and with as much authenticity as possible. Whatever the final format, millions of fans can rest assured they will be able to watch the show flawlessly thanks to Beyoncé and her team.

Is Beyoncé performing an Extended Halftime show?

Despite initial reports suggesting an extended 20-minute halftime for Beyoncé's Christmas Day performance, her publicist Yvette Noel-Schure clarified that this information is "untrue" and that the performance "will not be 20 minutes" long. The halftime show is expected to stick to the standard 12-15 minute format that normal NFL games stick to. It came in response to speculation the NFL might make an exception for the superstar's performance, as the NFL often does at Super Bowl halftime shows, extending them beyond the usual length.

  • The concert will be held during the Baltimore Ravens vs Houston Texans game at NRG Stadium, Houston, Texas.

  • Beyoncé is set to perform songs from her Cowboy Carter album for the first time live.

  • Netflix will exclusively stream the game and halftime show, where it will be the video streaming company’s first foray into live NFL broadcasts.

Will Beyoncé perform with any guests during the show?

While Beyoncé has not officially announced any guest performers for her NFL Christmas Day halftime show, there are strong indications that special guests will join her on stage:

  • Netflix has confirmed that Beyoncé is "expected to bring along some special guests who are featured on COWBOY CARTER".

  • Given the star-studded collaborations on the COWBOY CARTER album, potential guest performers could include:

  • Other speculated guests, though not featured on COWBOY CARTER, include:

    • Lady Gaga (previous collaborator on "Telephone")

    • Jay-Z (Beyoncé's husband)

    • Solange (Beyoncé's sister)

While the exact lineup of guest performers is kept secret, the anticipation of just who the celebrity performers will be is high. Fans will have to wait till the performance itself to know who Beyoncé will be sharing the stage with.
