On Christmas Day, Beyoncé dazzled fans with her first live performance of her country album “Cowboy Carter.” The Superbowl-like production took place in her hometown of Houston, Texas during the halftime of an NFL game. The show was a true spectacle, with hundreds of people on the field including singers, dancers, and a reported 200 members of the Texas Southern University Ocean of Soul Marching Band.
Through the sea of performers, there were superstars who floated to the top: under-the-radar musicians, a country hitmaker, a genre-bending vocalist, a rodeo royal, and even a family member. Check out all the celebrity appearances at Beyoncé’s Christmas NFL halftime show.
Singers Tanner Adell, Brittney Spencer, Reyna Roberts & Tiera Kennedy

Country Music Star Shaboozey
GettyShaboozey stepped out for his verse in “SWEET ★ HONEY ★ BUCKIIN’.” The “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” hitmaker declared his rural roots singing, “It don’t matter what nobody says. Country boy ’till the day that I’m dead.”
Post Malone & A Denim Truck
GettyCheers from the crowd increased, as the genre-bending Post Malone popped out for a surprise appearance. The superstars sang a snippet of their song “Levii’s Jeans” next to a truck that got the “denim on denim on denim” memo. Post appears to be having the time of his life, smiling through the performance. At the end of the song, Post can be heard saying “Yes Ma’am” to Queen Bey.
‘First Black Rodeo Queen’ Ja’Dayia Kursh
