In preparation for her first-ever Cowboy Carter live performance, during the halftime show of Netflix‘s inaugural NFL Christmas Gameday, on Tuesday (12.24) Beyoncé released a teaser sending fans “big joy and love on this Cowboy Christmas Eve.”
In the edited clip the superstar singer is sitting on a chair in the middle of a football field while playing a white banjo. At one point in the clip, the video appears to stall just as it zooms in on Beyoncé’s face, yet just before viewers get the urge to hit refresh on the clip, the singer lets out a little laugh, and the video resumes, seemingly poking fun at Netflix’s bumpy history with streaming live events. (The streaming giant was most recently hit with a civil lawsuit after fans claimed it failed to prepare for the 60 million viewers who tuned in for the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight, causing delays and lockouts in the live feed.)
“I’m sending you big joy and love on this Cowboy Christmas Eve.” “I’ll see y’all tomorrow, in my city HTX,” wrote Mrs Carter.
On Christmas Day, A Cowboy Carter Christmas will premiere live via Netflix on December 25, midway through the Houston Texans match-up against the Baltimore Ravens, scheduled for 4:30 p.m. EST at NRG Stadium in Houston. Marking the multi-Grammy award winner’s very first live performance of her eccentric country album – featuring “Spaghettii,” “II Most Wanted,” and “Levii’s Jeans” – in November Netflix stated:
“With Netflix and Beyoncé, the NFL kicks off what is expected to be a new holiday tradition, as Netflix has also announced NFL games for 2025 and 2026.”\“Produced by Beyoncé’s Parkwood Entertainment and Jesse Collins Entertainment, this year’s halftime show will be the first live performance of songs from her genre-bending and record-breaking album Cowboy Carter.”
