Beyoncé delivers "Cowboy Carter" medley at NFL halftime show

Beyoncé made a show-stopping performance at the NFL Christmas Day match between the Houston Texans and Baltimore Ravens at the NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas.

The global icon performed a medley from her latest album, "Cowboy Carter," live for the first time, delivering hits like "16 Carriages," "Blackbird," "Levi’s Jeans," and "Texas Hold’Em."  

The star-studded halftime show featured appearances by Post Malone, Shaboozey, Reyna Roberts, Tanner Adell, Brittney Spencer, and Tiera Kennedy. Beyoncé’s eldest daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, also made a special appearance, delighting fans worldwide with their mother-daughter performance.

The American singer's stage was enhanced by the Ocean of Soul Marching Band from Texas Southern University, whose 200 members added a powerful touch to the event.

The showcase paid homage to Texas culture, with notable guests including Mexican cowgirl Melanie Rivera, bull-riding legend Myrtis Dightman Jr., and Miss Rodeo Texas alumnae.  

Beyoncé has also previously headlined the 2013 Super Bowl halftime show and made a guest appearance during Coldplay’s 2016 set.

The Christmas day games, streamed by Netflix, also included a pre-taped performance by Mariah Carey singing "All I Want for Christmas Is You" before the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Pittsburgh Steelers game, and Pentatonix performing the national anthem before the second match.
