Beyoncé brings out Blue Ivy for the first live performance of 'Cowboy Carter' at NFL halftime show

The mother-daughter duo wowed the crowd with a stunning performance during the Ravens-Texans halftime show.

Beyoncé brought the house down during the Ravens-Texans game on Christmas Day with a breathtaking halftime show that marked the live debut of her Cowboy Carter songs. The performance, dubbed the “Beyoncé Bowl,” delivered everything fans could hope for and more—including a special guest appearance by her 12-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy Carter.

The superstar opened the show in her hometown of Houston, Texas, entering the stadium on horseback while wearing a stunning white-feathered gown and western hat. She began with “16 Carriages” before transitioning into her rendition of “Blackbird,” accompanied by a dramatic costume change into a dazzling bodysuit and chaps for her hit “Ya Ya.”

As the crowd erupted with cheers, the stadium lit up with the words “My House,” setting the stage for a high-energy performance of “Riverdance.” Beyoncé was joined by collaborators Shaboozey for “Sweet Honey Buckiin” and Post Malone, who lent his vocals to “Levii’s Jeans.” She then performed “Jolene” atop a vintage truck, showcasing her signature ability to merge storytelling with captivating visuals.

The most heartwarming moment of the night came when Blue Ivy joined Beyoncé for the final number, “Texas Hold ’Em.” The duo performed an intricate line dance, and Beyoncé gave a lyrical nod to her daughter, singing, “Then spin me in the middle, Blue, I can’t read your mind.” The performance concluded with Beyoncé rising on a platform as a “BANG” banner unfurled.

This halftime show was part of Netflix’s inaugural NFL Christmas Gameday broadcast, featuring the Ravens-Texans and Chiefs-Steelers games. The event also celebrated Cowboy Carter, Beyoncé’s latest album, which features collaborations with Miley Cyrus, Dolly Parton, and Willie Nelson.
