This year, the streaming giant is hosting the two Christmas games between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens and the Houston Texans.
The 32-time Grammy-winning pop superstar, 43, took the field at the NRG Stadium in her hometown of Houston halfway through the second game.
For the first time ever, she performed live renditions of tracks off her latest album, Cowboy Carter. Delivering a medley of songs from the album including “16 Carriages”, “Blackbird”, “Levii’s Jeans” and “Texas Hold’Em”, she also welcomed guest stars Shaboozey and Post Malone. Her daughter Blue Ivy was among the dancers.
Beyoncé is no stranger to the NFL stage. She headlined the 2013 Super Bowl halftime show and also made a guest appearance when Coldplay headlined in 2016.
Other Christmas Day performances included a pre-taped recording of Mariah Carey’s holiday chart-topper “All I Want for Christmas Is You” ahead of the first game, and the Grammy-winning a cappella group Pentatonix singing the national anthem at the second.
