Inside Post Malone's Sweet Message To Beyoncé After Halftime Show

Post Malone shared his gratitude toward Beyoncé after taking part in her spectacular NFL Halftime Show during the Texans-Ravens game at Houston’s NRG Stadium on Christmas Day.

The electrifying performance showcased tracks from Beyoncé’s acclaimed country-inspired album, "Cowboy Carter," which spent two weeks atop the Billboard 200 chart.

One of the most anticipated moments of the night came when Post Malone joined Beyoncé on stage for their collaboration, “Levii’s Jeans.”

On Saturday, December 28, the 29-year-old singer took to X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, to share a heartfelt message dedicated to Queen Bey.

“thank you @Beyonce so much for havin me out in Houston, and on your beautiful record,” the singer wrote. “also, thank you for sharin your talent and art with the world. I love you.”

The duet symbolized a meeting of two Texas icons—Beyoncé representing Houston and Malone hailing from the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

Beyoncé’s grand 12-minute spectacle, now available as a standalone special on Netflix, opened with her unforgettable horseback entrance in a striking white cowgirl outfit. Later, country star Shaboozey joined her for soulful duets of “Spaghetti” and “Sweet Honey Buckiin’.”

Fans were also treated to standout hits like “16 Carriages,” “Texas Hold ‘Em,” and a powerful rendition of “Jolene.” The set also featured guest appearances by Tanner Adell and Brittney Spencer, while Beyoncé's daughter, Blue Ivy, made a special appearance as a dancer, echoing her performances from the Renaissance World Tour.

Beyoncé's halftime performance also sparked headlines for including a gesture that the NFL has officially banned.

The show ended with the "Single Ladies" superstar dramatically elevated on a scaffold above the field, striking a finger-gun gesture as a “Bang” banner unfurled behind her.

The moment quickly ignited conversations across social media, especially since NFL players, including star quarterback Patrick Mahomes, have faced penalties throughout the season for similar celebratory gestures. In response to ongoing debates surrounding such gestures, NFL executive Troy Vincent reaffirmed the league's firm stance during an October meeting, underscoring their strict prohibition on the field.

“There’s no place in professional football for that,” Vincent stated at the time. “Think about where we are as a society. … I don’t think that’s where we are and what we’re trying to represent.”

Despite the backlash, the "Single Ladies" singer's show drew in millions of viewers, making it a Netflix sensation. In fact, according to Deadline, the Baltimore Ravens' win over the Houston Texans drew an average minute audience of 24.3 million viewers, with U.S. viewership surging to over 27 million during the halftime show.

It also became the most-watched Christmas Day NFL game on record (since 2001) among the 18-34 demographic, attracting 5.1 million viewers in that age group.

On December 25, Beyoncé unveiled a new video on Instagram, showcasing herself perched atop a white horse while elegantly waving an American flag.

Dressed in a white cowboy hat, a matching bodysuit, and her signature "Cowboy Carter" sash, the superstar exuded Western glamour.

The clip concluded with the date "1.14.25," sparking fan speculation that Beyoncé may be gearing up for a tour centered around her country-inspired album in January. The post was simply captioned, "Look at that horse."

Fans quickly flocked to X to dissect the meaning behind "1.14.25." "WHAT???? WHAT DOES THIS MEAN??? BEYONCÉ," one user exclaimed. Another asked, "THE COWBOY CARTER WORLD TOUR IS COMING?!?!?!?!?!?"
