On December 25, Beyoncé will return to her Christmas Houston for an extraordinary event that will mark her return to the stage: Queen Bey will star in the Halftime Show of the NFL game between the Houston Texans and Baltimore Ravens, broadcast live on Netflix. A special occasion for the superstar who will not only celebrate the Christmas holidays, but will give his fans his first live performance with songs from the acclaimed album Cowboy Carterwhich made headlines for its country influences.
Published earlier this year, Cowboy Carter shattered all expectations, topping the Billboard 200 and the Top Country Albums chart, and marking Beyoncé’s eighth consecutive number one album. The project received widespread attention, earning her 11 Grammy nominations, a record number that makes her the most nominated artist in the history of these awards. Among the nominations are awards in country categories, including Best Country Solo Performance per “16 CARRIAGES” e Best Country Song for “TEXAS HOLD ‘EM,” as well as other pop and Americana categories.
To tease the performance, Netflix released a breathtaking cinematic preview, showing Beyoncé dressed in patriotic Western attire, posing on a vintage car decorated with red roses. The a cappella rendition of “AMERICAN REQUIEM” plays as Beyoncé gracefully and powerfully catches a football, promising a show that will blend her signature musical style with American energy and tradition.
The performance on December 25th will go well beyond expectations, with Beyoncé ready to enchant her audience, both live and on the small screen, and to celebrate an extraordinary year full of successes with Cowboy Carter.
