On Wednesday, December 25, Beyoncé performed at the Ravens-Texans game in her hometown of Houston, Texas. While singing "Texas Hold' Em" — one of the hit songs off her debut country album "Cowboy Carter" — she was joined by Blue Ivy.
The 12-year-old matched the all-white dress theme, rocking a bedazzled corset, a cowboy hat, loose pants with a glittering belt buckle, and boots. Blue Ivy accessorized with a diamond necklace and a red, white, and blue sash reading "Cowboy Carter."
During the choreography, Beyoncé and Blue Ivy linked arms for a spin, which the singer referenced in a touching lyric change. She honored her daughter by singing: "Then spin me in the middle, Blue, I can't read your mind," per PEOPLE.

Before the mother-daughter duo stole the spotlight, Beyoncé entered the football field on a horse. She donned an all-white Cowboy ensemble featuring a white-feathered gown, western hat, and boots as she kicked off the show by performing" 16 Carriages."
After getting off the horse, the entertainer walked through the back of the stadium while rocking a red, white, and blue "Cowboy Carter" sash. She sang her cover of "Blackbird" before appearing at the center of the field in a bedazzled bodysuit to perform "Ya Ya."
Lights spelling out "My House"were projected onto the stands, eliciting cheers from the crowd, as Beyoncé performed "Riverdance." She walked across the marching band-lined field to meet Shaboozey, who was featured on her song "Sweet Honey Buckiin."
Queen Bey Ended The Show With A 'Bang'
Following her duet with Shaboozey, the Parkwood Entertainment founder joined her next guest performer, Post Malone. He sang "Levii's Jeans" before Beyoncé sat on the back of a vintage truck to serenade fans with her cover of "Jolene."
The celebrated singer closed the show with her performance with Blue Ivy, bursting into an elaborate line dance before hopping on a floating platform. As she towered over the field, a "BANG" banner dropped from the platform.
The halftime show marked Netflix's first-ever NFL Christmas Game show. The event, which aired on the streaming platform, also marked the live debut of songs from Beyoncé's record-breaking country music album.

A day before her halftime show performance, The Blast reported that Beyoncé teased Netflix about their past live glitches. She referenced the streaming issues that plagued Jake Paul and Mike Tyson's November fight in a hilarious promo post.
The video shared across Beyoncé's social media profiles captured a football rolling on a field and stopping by the singer's feet. The camera pans to show her wearing a long embroidered shawl and dark shades while plucking the opening notes to "Texas Hold' Em" on a banjo.
Beyoncé removed her sunglasses, ready to sing when the screen suddenly froze with the red buffering circle spinning over her face. The sign indicated a problem with the video, a streaming issue that wasn't uncommon for Netflix. However, this time, the glitch was a joke.
The "Halo" singer could be heard chuckling as the buffering sign stopped, and she winked at the camera. "I'm sending you big joy and love on this Cowboy Christmas Eve. I'll see y'all tomorrow, in my city HTX," she captioned the playful video.
Beyoncé's Halftime Performance Might Be A Preview Of Her Next Tour
Beyoncé was no stranger to performing at the NFL's beloved halftime shows. She first took the stage during the 2013 Super Bowl. In 2016, she accompanied Bruno Mars and Coldplay for their joint halftime lineup, turning heads with her "Formation" performance.
As for her latest halftime show, a source claimed it could be the preview for her next tour in 2025. They noted the superstar singer planned to unveil a "spectacular" set of shows in honor of her country music album. However, Beyoncé's longtime publicist shut down the narrative.
Last month, The Blast reported that Yvette Noel-Schure debunked the tour news on X after another source claimed Beyoncé was preparing for a "massive tour." The publicist shared, "Untrue. Nothing to report here. Whenever there is any news, you will hear it directly from the source first."
If Beyoncé does go on tour again, she is sure to bring Blue Ivy along for another set of historic performances.
