In the 30-second clip, Bey — dressed in an all-white outfit of cowboy hat, furry jacket and boots — steps into a snowy landscape and hangs an ornament on a locationally appropriate cactus in lieu of a Christmas tree. As the lights strung around it magically turn on, the “Break My Soul” artist holds up finger guns, blows invisible smoke off the barrel and winks at the camera.

“HALFTIME SHOW,” reads a title card at the end of the video, which was shared to Bey’s YouTube channel. “THIS CHRISTMAS HOUSTON, TX.”

The teaser comes exactly two weeks ahead of the 32-time Grammy winner’s highly anticipated hometown performance at NRG Stadium, before and after which the Houston Texans and Baltimore Ravens will play some football on Christmas Day. The spectacle will mark Bey’s first time performing since the release of her Billboard 200-topping album Cowboy Carter.

The NFL first announced that Bey would be performing mid-November, sharing a similar teaser that showed the Destiny’s Child alum standing atop a rose-covered vintage car and effortlessly catching a football that someone throws at her from offscreen. Cowboy Carter opening track “Ameriican Requiem” plays over the video, possibly hinting at what her setlist will entail.

The Christmas Day doubleheader will begin with the Kansas City Chiefs facing off against the Pittsburgh Steelers at 1 p.m. ET, followed by the Texans vs. Ravens game at 4:30 p.m. ET. Both games — and Bey’s halftime performance — will stream live on Netflix, with regional broadcasts and mobile access via NFL+.

The Lion King star’s return to an NFL halftime stage comes over a decade after her 2013 Super Bowl performance, where she reunited with Destiny’s Child. In 2016, she joined Coldplay and Bruno Mars mid-game.
