On December 25th, Beyoncé made headlines once again with an incredible halftime performance during the NFL Christmas game between the Houston Texans and the Baltimore Ravens at Houston’s NRG Stadium.
However, it’s still unclear how much of the earnings went directly to Beyoncé and how much was used to pay the large team that helped bring the show to life. This includes her talented group of dancers, backup singers, choreographers, costume designers, and everyone else involved in creating the performance.
The production was one of the most elaborate and stunning in NFL halftime show history. Visually breathtaking and choreographed to perfection, it set a new benchmark for what a halftime show can be.

Beyoncé opened her performance in dramatic fashion, riding a white horse—a nod to the theme of her album—accompanied by a group of soulful backup singers. Her setlist included a mix of her greatest hits, tracks from her latest album, ‘Cowboy Carter,’ and tributes to legends like The Beatles (Blackbird) and Dolly Parton (Jolene). She also shared the stage with big names like Post Malone, Shaboozey, and her daughter, Blue Ivy.
The event, streamed live on Netflix, made history as the first time the platform collaborated with the NFL to broadcast a game live. Beyoncé’s halftime performance was no coincidence. She’s already proven her ability to connect with massive audiences at major events, like her iconic Super Bowl halftime show in 2013 and her unforgettable guest appearance with Coldplay in 2016.
