The Grammy-winning icon shared a teaser on Instagram on Wednesday, offering a sneak peek at her much-anticipated show during the NFL game between the Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans at NRG Stadium in her hometown of Houston.

The halftime show, set to air live on Netflix, marks a monumental moment as Beyoncé will perform songs from her latest album, "Cowboy Carter," for the first time. Fans have been talking about the album's announcement in a surprise Super Bowl commercial earlier this year. The debut singles, "16 Carriages" and "Texas Hold' Em," became instant hits, dominating streaming platforms and fueling anticipation for a live performance.

This Christmas Day gig isn't just any performance—it's a homecoming celebration for Beyoncé, who continues to spotlight her Texas roots. Her blend of cowboy-inspired aesthetics and powerhouse vocals promises a memorable experience for both football fans and music lovers. With the show's buzz surrounding it, game day ticket sales have soared, making the Baltimore-Houston matchup one of the season's most anticipated events.
