The game will take place on December 25 at 4:30pm ET (9:30pm GMT). While details surrounding the performance are currently under wraps besides the ‘Cowboy Carter’ element, Netflix has teased that Beyoncé is expected to bring along with her “some special guests” who feature on the record.
Beyoncé’s ‘Cowboy Carter’ scored a five-star review, with Jenessa Williams writing for NME: “Even if interpreted only on the grounds of artistic spectacle, it’s an undeniable thrill to see her swing so big on a project that dares her to be so intimate and vocal-focused, while making way for country’s up-and-comers too.”
Beyoncé has performed at two other Halftime Shows in the past – both during the Super Bowl. In 2013, she performed with her Destiny’s Child groupmates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams. Three years later, she performed again – this time alongside Coldplay and Bruno Mars.
In other Halftime Show news, Kendrick Lamar will headline next year’s Super Bowl Halftime slot in New Orleans. The news was announced in September, and the game will take place on February 9, live from the Caesars Superdome.
