Beyoncé brings ‘Cowboy Carter’ to the NFL on Netflix
As a lifelong fan of Beyoncé, I can confidently say that her halftime performance at the NFL game on Christmas Day was nothing short of spectacular. Growing up in Houston, I always dreamt of seeing Beyoncé perform live, and to see her bring “Cowboy Carter” to life in her hometown was truly a magical experience.
For the very first time, Beyoncé breathed life into her album “Cowboy Carter” during a halftime show at an NFL game held in Houston, her birthplace, on Christmas Day.
During the Baltimore Ravens’ dominant game against the Houston Texans at NRG Stadium, a show was aired to attract viewers to Netflix, marking a fresh partnership between the streaming giant and America’s leading professional sports league. This event also served as promotion for Beyoncé’s newest album, a deep dive into country music that emphasizes her Southern heritage, as Grammy Academy members were voting for the awards in February, where “Cowboy Carter” is nominated for album of the year.
Directly after her show, Beyoncé shared a short clip on X hinting at an announcement on January 14th, which has undoubtedly increased anticipation among her followers.
As a movie reviewer, I must say that Wednesday’s halftime show, despite its cross-promotional elements, served as a testament to the allure of coaxing Beyoncé out of her superstar shell. Indeed, for the undisputed queen of live pop performances, this 13-minute extravaganza – dubbed a “ho ho ho-down” by none other than Beyoncé herself – was nothing short of exhilarating from start to finish.
Music
At the 67th Grammys, several artists are nominated across various categories: Taylor Swift, Kendrick Lamar, Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan, and Billie Eilish.
The performance kicked off with Beyoncé casually riding a white horse through NRG’s corridors while singing “16 Carriages,” a song about her childhood aspirations in show business. Shortly after, four black female country artists – Tanner Adell, Brittney Spencer, Tiera Kennedy and Reyna Roberts – joined her for an emotional cover of the Beatles’ “Blackbird.
On the stadium stage, Beyoncé made an entrance to perform a fiery rendition of “Ya Ya,” a Tina Turner-inspired rock number. She was backed by a compact electric rock band and a large horn section set on bleachers reminiscent of her Coachella performance in 2018. Following that, she moved into a clubby tune titled “My House.” Later, Shaboozey took the stage with her for “Sweet Honey Buckiin'”, and Post Malone joined them for their duet of “Levii’s Jeans,” which they performed in front of a pickup truck adorned with denim.
In a car ride, Beyoncé performed her rendition of “Jolene” originally sung by Dolly Parton, echoing the spirit of her Coachella tribute to Historically Black Colleges and Universities. This was an affectionate representation of Black rodeo culture. The concert concluded with her hit single “Texas Hold ‘Em,” where she danced on the 50-yard line alongside her 12-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy.
During the performance, Beyoncé’s voice was powerful and spot-on, the dance moves were demanding yet impactful, and her outfits sparkled elegantly – offering her fans an exciting spectacle that also served as a promotional event around Christmas time.
