For the first time ever, the NFL will be hosting a halftime show during their annual Christmas Day game. Who better to headline this monumental performance at NRG Stadium in Houston, than Billboard’s Greatest Popstar of the 21st Century and Houston native, Beyoncé.
Coming off a massively successful year, Beyoncé will be performing a medley of songs from her critically acclaimed and chart topping album, “Cowboy Carter.” With hits like “Texas Hold ‘Em” and “16 Carriages,” fans anxiously wait to find out what songs Beyoncé has chosen to perform. This will be the performers first live, televised performance in almost 5 years.
While details of the performance are limited, viewers can expect an incredible show due to Beyoncé being a NFL halftime show regular. Knowles headlined the Super Bowl in 2013, made a guest appearance in Coldplay’s 2016 show, as well as performed at the 2004 Thanksgiving Game with Destiny’s Child.
The performance will be streamed live on Netflix which has sparked concern among viewers. Netflix fell under scrutiny recently for providing subscribers with a glitchy livestream of a heavily awaited fight. This technical complication has led to outrage and even lawsuits. Fans hope these issues are resolved before the 25th, so they are able to have a quality viewing experience.
Beyoncé’s upcoming performance at the NFL’s Christmas Day game marks an exciting and historic moment for both the artist and the event. As a Houston native and one of the most influential pop stars of the 21st century, her headlining the halftime show is sure to deliver an unforgettable experience.
