Beyoncé and daughter Blue Ivy performed tunes from her genre-bending album "Cowboy Carter" during the Baltimore Ravens versus Houston Texans Christmas Day halftime performance.
Wednesday at Houston's NRG Stadium, the "Drunk In Love" singer opened the event on a white horse and sang "16 Carriages."
After dismounting, she sang "Blackbird" alongside country singers Tanner Addlell, Brittany Spencer, Tiera Kennedy, and Reyna Roberts.
According to Newsweek ,Beyoncé looked stunning in a crystal-encrusted white bodysuit, chaps, and cowboy hat.
Guest performers Shaboozey and Post Malone performed "Sweet Honey Buckiin'" and "Levii's Jeans," respectively.
The Destiny's Child alum also performed "Ya Ya," "Jolene" and "My House."
Blue Ivy, Beyoncé and Jay-Z's oldest daughter, line danced to "Texas Hold 'Em" on the field.
Beyoncé, 43, performed songs from her new studio album for the first time since March at the halftime performance.
Last month, the NFL and Netflix revealed that the most decorated Grammy artist would perform during the game in Houston with a few special guests.
Despite the fact that Beyoncé's country album debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and gave birth to a number of successful singles, including "Texas Hold 'Em" and "16 Carriages," the album did not get even a single nomination for the Country Music Association Awards in 2024.
Additionally, "Cowboy Carter" made the vocalist of "Cuff It" the first black woman to ever reach the top spot on the Country Albums chart on Billboard since the category was originally created in 1964.
The album exposed audiences to black country musicians like Tanner Addell and Shaboozey, who tied the Billboard Hot 100 chart record for longest-running No. 1 hit with "A Bar Song (Tipsy)."
Beyoncé defended her controversial choice not to release music videos for her seventh and eighth studio albums, "Renaissance" and "Cowboy Carter," in September.
"I thought it was important that during a time where all we see is visuals, that the world can focus on the voice," she said in her October 2024 GQ cover story. "The music is so rich in history and instrumentation. It takes months to digest, research and understand. The music needed space to breathe on its own."
The "Single Ladies" songstress said visuals can sometimes "distract from the quality of the voice and the music."
She added, "The years of hard work and detail put into an album that takes over four years! The music is enough. The fans from all over the world became the visual. We all got the visual on tour. We then got more visuals from my film."
