On Christmas Day, Beyoncé delivered a highly anticipated halftime show performance during the NFL game between the Baltimore Ravens and the Houston Texans at NRG Stadium. For those too preoccupied with holiday celebrations to catch the show live, it has been made available for streaming on Netflix. The platform confirmed the release of her special, titled “Beyoncé Bowl,” which can be watched at any time.
The performance, produced by Jesse Collins Entertainment and Beyoncé’s own Parkwood Entertainment, lasted over 12 minutes and featured music from her recent country-influenced album, “Cowboy Carter.” This album debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 chart. Collaborators such as Shabouzi, Post Malone, Tanner Adele, and Britney Spencer joined her on stage, showcasing songs like “Texas Hold ‘Em,” “Levii’s Jean,” and “Jolene.” Beyoncé’s eldest daughter, Blue Ivy, also performed as a dancer, reminiscent of their appearances together on the Renaissance World Tour.
Despite some concerns about streaming reliability due to previous issues on Netflix during high-profile live events, the performance was successfully streamed without major hitches. It attracted a significant audience, reportedly reaching 108 million viewers worldwide. Beyoncé had playfully addressed these potential streaming anxieties in a teaser she released before the performance, which included a humorous loading screen moment.
After the show, Beyoncé shared a teaser for a future project scheduled to begin in January 2025. The visual features her on a white horse and ends with a message indicating the project’s release date. This teaser, captioned “Look at that horse,” hints at exciting developments to come for fans.
