Beyoncé is set to take center stage during the NFL Christmas Gameday halftime show as the Houston Texans face off against the Baltimore Ravens on Dec. 25. The performance, part of Netflix’s first-ever NFL broadcast, will take place at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas — Beyoncé’s hometown.
This marks a special homecoming for the 43-year-old music icon, as she teased the announcement in a dramatic Instagram video on Sunday, Nov. 17. Set to the a cappella strains of her Cowboy Carter opener, “AMERIICAN REQUIEM,” the clip shows Beyoncé atop a vintage car adorned with red roses, catching a football while dressed in patriotic attire and a white cowboy hat. The video ends with a title card confirming her halftime show appearance.
The Christmas Gameday event will feature two games, with the Kansas City Chiefs taking on the Pittsburgh Steelers in the first matchup. Beyoncé’s performance will cap off the festivities during the Texans vs. Ravens game, which will stream live on Netflix.
