Christmas Day brought more than football to NRG Stadium. Beyoncé delivered an unforgettable halftime performance during the Houston Texans' game against the Baltimore Ravens, stealing the show despite the Texans' struggle on the field.
Christmas Day at NRG Stadium was made memorable by an outstanding halftime performance from Houston’s very own Beyoncé. The Texans found themselves trailing 17-2 against the Baltimore Ravens by halftime, but the atmosphere changed dramatically when the global music sensation stepped onto the field.
Beyoncé, joined by an array of illustrious guests, delivered a captivating medley of songs from her Grammy-nominated album Cowboy Carter. She made her entrance on horseback to the tune of “16 Carriages,” captivating the audience with four more songs that followed. Among the notable guests were Post Malone, Shaboozey, and her daughter Blue Ivy, who participated in a performance of “Texas Hold ’Em,” receiving enthusiastic applause.
The halftime show, broadcast worldwide on Netflix, provided a moment of festive delight for Texans fans despite the team's challenges on the field. Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, who had initially intended to watch Beyoncé’s performance, opted to remain in the locker room. He then made a remarkable return to the game with a 48-yard touchdown run, increasing Baltimore’s lead to 24-2.
Although the Texans faced defeat, Beyoncé’s performance guaranteed that fans departed NRG Stadium with unforgettable memories of a remarkable Christmas celebration.
