Beyoncé to perform at halftime of Houston Texans vs. Baltimore Ravens Christmas Day game
Beyoncé is returning to her hometown on Christmas Day to put on an NFL halftime show during the Houston Texans vs. Baltimore Ravens game in the Lone Star State next month.
The mega-pop star’s performance at NRG Stadium in Houston was announced Sunday night, and will be the first time she belts out songs live from her record-breaking Cowboy Carter album, according to a news release.
Netflix, which is airing the game between the two AFC teams, hinted that Beyoncé is expected to bring along “some special guests” who are featured on the new album.

A video posted on Instagram by Beyoncé and the Texans showed the “Texas Hold Em” singer on top of a car with roses spread across it as her song “AMERIICAN REQUIEM” plays in the background.
The singer was decked out in a cowboy hat and caught a football during the brief teaser.
The surprise performance won’t be Beyoncé’s first rodeo on the NFL stage.
She headlined the Super Bowl XVII halftime show in 2013 in which she was joined by fellow Destiny’s Child members Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, and joined Bruno Mars and Coldplay in 2016 to play at halftime during Super Bowl XV.
During the 2016 performance, the musician, 43, made news when she and other crew members paid homage to the Black Panther Party.

Beyoncé, who was born in Houston, was in the Texas city last month to campaign on behalf of Vice President Kamala Harris, before her loss to former and now-future President Donald Trump.
The Texans-Ravens game is one of two NFL games on Christmas with the first game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Kansas City Chiefs.
It’s unclear if KC’s most famous fan and tight end Travis Kelce’s girlfriend, pop star Taylor Swift, will be on hand for the matchup.
