In a teaser trailer posted online, the “Texas Hold ‘Em” hitmaker catches a football and sings into a mic while standing on a classic muscle car adorned with red roses and a longhorn.
According to Netflix, which is broadcasting the game along with the other Christmas Day contest between the Kansas City Chiefs and Pittsburgh Steelers, Beyoncé will be joined by “some special guests who are featured on the Cowboy Carter album.”
The holiday halftime show will mark Bey’s first live performance of material from her aforementioned album, which recently racked up a string of nominations at the 2025 Grammy Awards.
It will also be her first performance at an NFL game in almost a decade following her cameo during Coldplay and Bruno Mars’ halftime show at Super Bowl 50. She previously headlined the big game in 2013.
Following its successful release that saw it break both statistical records and racial barriers, Beyoncé reflected on the impact of the country-inspired Cowboy Carter.
“When you are breaking down barriers, not everyone is ready and open for a shift,” she told The Hollywood Reporter. “But when I see Shaboozey tearing the charts up and all the beautiful female country singers flying to new heights, inspiring the world, that is exactly what motivates me.

“There was a time in my life when charts and sales excited and motivated me. Once you have challenged yourself and poured every ounce of your life, your pain, your growth and your dreams into your art, it’s impossible to go backward,” she continued. “I’m very grateful and humbled for the extraordinary success of the new album.”
Bey concluded: “I’m honored to introduce so many people to the roots of so many genres. I’m so thrilled that my fans trusted me. The music industry gatekeepers are not happy about the idea of bending genres, especially coming from a Black artist and definitely not a woman.”
