Beyoncé’s iconic halftime show will soon be available for on-demand streaming on Netflix.
Nicknamed the “Beyoncé Bowl”, the 20-minute spectacle was the first time she performed songs from her Cowboy Carter album. It also marked the first time she performed on live TV in four years.
The performance was also Beyoncé’s first on an NFL stage in nearly ten years since her guest appearance during Coldplay and Bruno Mars’ Super Bowl 50 performance. In 2013, she headlined the Super Bowl halftime show in 2013. At the time, the performance became the second most-watched Super Bowl halftime show in history.
In the halftime performance, she was accompanied by Shaboozey, Post Malone, and of course, her daughter Blue Ivy Carter. Country stars Reyna Roberts, Tanner Adell, Brittney Spencer, and Tiera Kennedy also performed alongside “Queen Bey.”
Her setlist included“16 CARRIAGES,” “BLACKBIIRD,” “AMERIICAN REQUIEM,” “YA YA,” “SPAGHETTII/RIIVERDANCE,” “LEVII’S JEANS,” “JOLENE,” and the smash hit “TEXAS HOLD ‘EM.”
Beyoncé also tapped Mexican Cowgirl Melanie Rivera, bull-riding legend Myrtis Dightman, Jr. Miss Rodeo Texas Princess 2004 and Miss Rodeo Texas 2015 Nikki Woodward, and the first Black Rodeo Queen in Arkansas Ja’Dayia Kursh.
She also enlisted 200 members of Texas Southern University’s Ocean of Soul Marching Band.
Beyoncé ended her epic performance by ascending to the rafters.
The performance was so anticipated that Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson said he would watch it live.
While speaking to reporters on Monday (December 23), the former NFL MVP was excited to see “Queen Bey” in action for the first time.
“I’m going to go out there and watch,” Jackson said.
During halftime, players usually head to the locker room and miss the halftime activities. But Jackson is breaking with protocol with “Queen Bey.”
“I’m going to go out and watch,” he said.” First time seeing Beyonce perform and it’s at our game?! That’s dope,”
“Sorry Harbaugh, sorry,” Jackson continued, referring to John Harbaugh, the Ravens head coach.
“Not saying it like that, no disrespect,” he explained “I know how people can take things.”
