Beyoncé Set to Slay Christmas Day Halftime Show for NFL on Netflix

Move over, holiday traditions—Queen Bey is about to turn Christmas Day into a mega-event. Netflix just dropped a bombshell that has fans buzzing: Beyoncé will headline the halftime show for the Baltimore Ravens vs. Houston Texans matchup on December 25. This game marks Netflix’s first foray into hosting an NFL event, and what better way to kick things off than with a performance by the music icon herself?

The streaming giant broke the news with a dramatic video featuring Beyoncé and her song “AMERIICAN REQUIEM” playing in the background. As expected, the Beyhive lost its collective mind. One ecstatic fan screamed online, “GIRL I JUST WOKE UP THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD SCREAMING,” while another hyped user commented, “One thing this woman gone do is DROP something outta nowhere and have the internet going up.”

For those keeping track, this isn’t Beyoncé’s first dance with the NFL. She famously shut down the stage at Super Bowl 50 in 2016, and now she’s back to sprinkle her star power on the league once more. And with JAY-Z helping the NFL pick performers, it feels like a full-circle moment.

However, not everyone is just here for the applause. Netflix’s recent hosting of the Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul fight received backlash due to streaming issues like buffering and lag. One skeptic chimed in with, “Netflix just proved they can’t handle a boxing match. They wanna try this? I mean, I’m gonna watch, but fix your stuff first!” The Christmas Day showdown will also feature an earlier game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Pittsburgh Steelers, adding more pressure for Netflix to nail its big day.

So, will Netflix’s debut NFL hosting live up to the hype with Beyoncé front and center? Fans are counting down to find out.
