Beyoncé dropped the highly-anticipated second offering of her recent album trilogy this March, following Act I: Renaissance with Act II: Cowboy Carter. Now, she’ll be giving songs from Cowboy Carter their live debut at the Halftime Show during the NFL’s Christmas game, airing live on Netflix.

A Cowboy Carter selection has yet to be performed live. However, Beyoncé is having a bit of a homecoming during this game, which takes place in her hometown of Houston, Texas, on December 25. A Halftime Show during a Houston football game? It only makes sense to call Beyoncé.
She announced the news on social media with a clip of herself standing on the hood of a car covered in roses. She wore a red, white, and blue Western-stylized dress and a white cowboy hat. The license plate of the classic car states “BRNCNTRY,” and Beyoncé smoothly catches a football before smoldering for the camera.
