Netflix has announced that Beyoncé will be performing during halftime of the Baltimore Ravens-Houston Texans game on Christmas Day. The megastar, who hails from Houston, will be gracing the screens of Netflix viewers during this special event. While details of the performance have not been disclosed, it is expected to include guest appearances from her acclaimed 'Cowboy Carter' album, which recently earned her 11 Grammy nominations.
Netflix is set to stream two NFL games on Christmas, with the first game featuring the Kansas City Chiefs and Pittsburgh Steelers. This lineup raises the exciting possibility of two global superstars being part of the festivities. Taylor Swift, who is in a relationship with Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, is expected to attend the game, having wrapped up her Eras tour by Christmas.
This move by Netflix marks its continued expansion into sports and live programming. Just days before the NFL game announcement, Netflix streamed a boxing event that included a match between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul, with the latter emerging victorious. However, the streaming experience was marred by technical issues, with a significant number of viewers reporting problems with the platform.
Beyoncé, a seasoned performer, has previously graced the stage at two Super Bowls, in 2013 and 2016. Her upcoming halftime show on Netflix promises to be a highlight for fans and viewers alike, adding a touch of star power to the Christmas Day NFL lineup.
