In an exciting announcement for both music and sports fans, Netflix has confirmed the release of Beyonce’s highly anticipated halftime performance dubbed the Beyonce Bowl as a standalone special later this week. This thrilling live performance, which took place during Netflix’s inaugural NFL Christmas Gameday on December 25, 2024, at NRG Stadium in Beyonce’s hometown of Houston, Texas, is set to stream for those who missed the live event.
One of the most touching moments of the performance came at its conclusion, when Beyonce brought her 12-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy, on stage for a heartwarming duet. As the duo performed together, Beyonce adapted the lyrics to the hit track Texas Hold ‘Em, addressing Blue Ivy with the lines: “Then spin me in the middle, Blue, I can’t read your mind.” The mother-daughter performance ended with a spectacular dance routine, followed by Beyonce ascending a platform that bore the banner reading “Bang,” marking a powerful end to an unforgettable show.
In addition to this emotional family moment, the performance was star-studded, with Beyonce joined by Post Malone, Shaboozey, Reyna Roberts, Tanner Adell, Brittney Spencer, and Tiera Kennedy. The show also featured a tribute to Texas culture and heritage, with special appearances from Mexican Cowgirl Melanie Rivera, bull-riding legend Myrtis Dightman Jr., and Miss Rodeo Texas Princess 2004 and 2015. The performance was brought to life with the vibrant accompaniment of the Texas Southern University Ocean of Soul Marching Band, featuring 200 talented musicians.
The setlist for Beyonce’s performance was diverse and dynamic, including tracks like 16 Carriages, Blackbird, American Requiem, Ya Ya, Spaghetti/Riverdance, Levi’s Jeans, and Jolene.

This performance is yet another milestone in Beyonce’s long history of electrifying live shows. Notably, this is not her first time performing at a major sports event she has headlined two Super Bowl halftime shows in the past, at Super Bowl XLVII in 2013 and Super Bowl 50 in 2016.
Fans of Beyonce and sports alike will now be able to relive the spectacular performance via Netflix, where it will be available to stream for anyone who missed the live action.
