Houston, December 25, 2024 — Beyoncé performed a show-stopping halftime performance during Netflix's first-ever NFL Christmas Gameday as the Houston Texans hosted the Baltimore Ravens at NRG Stadium live on Netflix.

This special performance took place in Beyoncé’s hometown of Houston, Texas, produced by her company, Parkwood Entertainment and Jesse Collins Entertainment.

The expansive performance of music, fashion and history featured a slew of guest performers in a roof-raising twelve-plus minutes showcasing the first live performance of songs from her genre-bending and record-breaking COWBOY CARTER album. The 11-time Grammy-nominated, juggernaut album recently became the most nominated album by a female artist.

The set included, among others, “16 CARRIAGES,” “BLACKBIIRD,” “AMERIICAN REQUIEM,” “YA YA,” “SPAGHETTII/RIIVERDANCE,” “LEVII’S JEANS,” “JOLENE,” and the ubiquitous smash, “TEXAS HOLD ‘EM,” that ended the set with Beyoncé literally lifting to the rafters.

The guests who brought their sizzle to the show included performers Post Malone, C2C 2025 bound Shaboozey, Reyna Roberts, Tanner Adell, Brittney Spencer, and Tiera Kennedy.

Blue Ivy Carter, Beyoncé’s eldest daughter, joined in as a featured dancer. The Texans Cheerleaders also joined in, representing the home team. And in a beautiful tribute to Western and Rodeo culture, Beyoncé included as special guests, Mexican Cowgirl, Melanie Rivera, Bull-riding legend, Myrtis Dightman, Jr., known as the “Jackie Robinson of Rodeo,” Miss Rodeo Texas Princess 2004 and Miss Rodeo Texas 2015, Nikki Woodward, and the first Black Rodeo Queen in Arkansas, Ja’Dayia Kursh. Joining them in the rousing caravan were Houston Texans owner, Cal McNair and his wife, Hannah.

The energy turned all the way up with the addition of close to 200 members of Texas Southern University’s Ocean of Soul Marching Band. The HBCU, world-class band delivered on all its known for, powerful sound, precision and choreography,

Beyoncé is no stranger to electrifying NFL halftime appearances having performed at two Super Bowl games. She headlined Super Bowl XLVII on February 3, 2013, in New Orleans, Louisiana, and was joined onstage by Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, her bandmates in Destiny’s Child. The performance became the second most-watched Super Bowl halftime show in history at the time. For Super Bowl XV, on February 7, 2016, she joined Coldplay and Bruno Mars in Santa Clara, California for one of the most-watched Super Bowl halftime shows with 115.5 million tuned in to get in “Formation.”

Netflix members can re-live the full halftime performance of “Beyoncé Bowl,” as a standalone special, when it comes to the service later this week. For additional details on “Beyoncé Bowl” please visit www.netflix.com/BeyonceBowl.

Back on Dec 11th In a fun video she shared on social media and YouTube, the "Texas Hold 'Em" singer was seen dressed in an all-white look with a matching snow-covered cowboy hat as she magically turned on the lights on her cactus Christmas tree. She flashed a smile before the words, "HALFTIME SHOW THIS CHRISTMAS HOUSTON, TX," appeared onscreen.

In November it was announced that Beyoncé would be performing live during halftime of the Baltimore Ravens vs. Houston Texans game on Christmas Day as part of Netflix's first-ever NFL Christmas Gameday.

She announced the news with an epic video of her standing on a red rose-covered car, catching a football with one hand.

LOS ANGELES, March 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Beyoncé's eighth studio album act ii COWBOY CARTER arrived following the successful release of two lead singles, "TEXAS HOLD 'EM" and "16 CARRIAGES" on February 11, Superbowl Sunday.

"TEXAS HOLD 'EM" landed across nine different genres on US music charts including Pop, Hot AC, Country, Rhythmic, Urban, and R&B, and making history with Beyoncé becoming the first Black female artist to reach No. 1 on the Hot Country Songs chart and No. 1 on the Hot 100 Chart with a Country song. It also spent four weeks at the top of the UK music charts.

COWBOY CARTER, executive produced by Beyoncé, is about genres, all of them, while deeply rooted in Country. This is the work of an artist who thrives in her freedom to grow, expand, and create limitlessly. It makes no apologies, and seeks no permission in elevating, amplifying, and redefining the sounds of music, while dismantling accepted false norms about Americana culture. It pays homage to the past, honoring musical pioneers in Country, Rock, Classical, and Opera.

The album is a cornucopia of sounds that Beyoncé loves, and grew up listening to, between visits and eventually performances at the Houston Rodeo – Country, original Rhythm & Blues, Blues, Zydeco, and Black Folk. The album wraps itself in pure instrumentation in a celebratory authentic gumbo of sounds using among others, the accordion, harmonica, washboard, acoustic guitar, bass ukulele, pedal steel guitar, a Vibra-Slap, the mandolin, fiddle, Hammond B3 organ, tack piano, and the banjo. There's also plenty of handclaps, horseshoe steps, boot stomps on hardwood floors and yes, those are Beyoncé's nails as percussion.

"The joy of creating music is that there are no rules," says Beyoncé. "The more I see the world evolving the more I felt a deeper connection to purity. With artificial intelligence and digital filters and programming, I wanted to go back to real instruments, and I used very old ones. I didn't want some layers of instruments like strings, especially guitars, and organs perfectly in tune. I kept some songs raw and leaned into folk. All the sounds were so organic and human, everyday things like the wind, snaps and even the sound of birds and chickens, the sounds of nature."

And the inspiration further takes into account Southern and Western culture beyond music, the Rodeo, Western films, and the stories of the original cowboys of the West. It was at the Rodeo where she first saw diversity and camaraderie among people who love Country music and an Americana lifestyle, steeped in community, culinary offerings, grills, and Western gear. And it was for everyone. Among the crowds were Black, Hispanic and Native American Cowboys, who made their valuable, authentic allowances to the culture. Their stories are synonymous with American history….SOURCE PRNewswire

Beyoncé Achieves Eighth No. 1 Album on Billboard 200 With ‘Cowboy Carter’

The set also started at No. 1 on Top Country Albums, making Beyoncé the first Black woman ever to have led the list.

Beyoncé’s COWBOY CARTER galloped in at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart (dated April 13), debuting with 407,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending April 4, according to Luminate. It’s the superstar’s eighth No. 1 on the all-genre Billboard 200.

The new effort also lands Beyoncé her biggest streaming week ever.

COWBOY CARTER also launched at No.1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums, Americana/Folk Albums and Top Album Sales charts.

Skip Ewing Releases “Whenever A Child Is Born” (Radio Single) to Country Radio

The holidays came early for country artist Skip Ewing. The critically acclaimed songwriter released a new rendition of his fan-favorite Christmas track, “Whenever A Child Is Born” (Radio Single) to country radio. Inspired by the joy and wonder of Christmas, the song stands as a reminder of the sacredness of life, positioning every birth as a cause for celebration. Listen to “Whenever A Child Is Born” (Radio Single) here (preferred music platform). 

A sweeping Christmas anthem heralding the birth of every child as a miracle, “Whenever A Child Is Born” (Radio Single) reprises Skip Ewing’s role as a proven singer and creator of modern Christmas classics. Co-written by Ewing and Aaron Barker (George Strait, Aaron Tippin, Clay Walker), the lyrics of “Whenever A Child Is Born” (Radio Single) infuse universal appeal and spirituality, making it a song poised to resonate with listeners across the country.

Earlier this year, Skip released his brand-new studio album, ROAD TO CALIFORNIA. The new album, co-produced by Skip and Kyle Lehning, embraces musical diversity and lyrical depth, encompassing humor, grit, heartbreak, devotion, poeticism, and authenticity.  The album features the fan-favorite “Road Dog,” “Wreck of My Heart,” and “The Highway Won,” among others. From start to finish, the album speaks to Ewing’s versatility as an artist and as a songwriter who has had songs recorded by Kenny Chesney, Shania Twain, George Strait, Keb Mo, Willie Nelson, Keith Urban, and numerous others. 

Most recently, his song “I Would If I Could,” co-written with Dean Dillon, has been brought to the spotlight and taken on new life with two of the most successful artists of the past few years. Reigning CMA Entertainer of the Year Lainey Wilson recorded a ‘Lost’ version of the song in December as part of Apple Music’s Lost & Found project, spotlighting Nashville songwriters by showcasing some of the best country tracks that have never been released. Prominent artist and songwriter ERNEST also recorded a version, this time as a duet with Wilson that is featured on his brand-new album, NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE. The song’s discovery has earned praise from Music Row, American Songwriter, Holler and many more. “Would If I Could” served as ERNEST’s debut radio single and was the most-added radio single on the week of its release.

With the release of Road To California, Skip’s success on “Would If I Could” and the official radio release of “Whenever A Child Is Born” (Radio Single), Skip continues to cement himself as one of the most talented country music singer/songwriters of our generation. Armed with innovative lyrics, powerful vocals and an exceptional musical panorama, Skip’s music continues to reach new heights and resonate with audiences far and wide.

Tiera Kennedy - Evergreen (Single; Tiera Kennedy / Green Is My Color, LLC, Kobalt Music Publishing, SMACKSongs)

With her holiday two-pack Evergreen (released October 31, 2024), Tiera Kennedy proves she’s here to leave a lasting mark on country music—and our holiday playlists. 

Known for her smoky, intoxicating voice and the rare ability to seamlessly blend country, R&B, and pop, Tiera has crafted a gift to her fans that’s bound to be a holiday staple for years to come. 

Her renditions in this collection sparkle with the warmth, nostalgia, and soulfulness of a crackling fireplace, and her unique twist on seasonal classics feels like a fresh breeze through frosted evergreens.

First, she breathes new life into the beloved "Auld Lang Syne", a Scottish tune that's been a longstanding New Year’s favorite. Tiera approaches the song with both reverence and creativity, taking it beyond the expected.
 


Her original holiday song, "Evergreen" (writers Emily Falvey, Matt McGinn, Michael Matosic, Jon Hume) is equally moving and fresh, bridging past and present with a clever blend of old-school country sensibility and smooth R&B tones. Here, Tiera channels the warmth of timeless country storytelling with lyrics that speak to the idea of holiday memories being “evergreen,” just as vivid and enduring as when they were first made. Her voice, bright yet soulful, captures the joy of revisiting these memories year after year. The lyrics are clever, reminding us how seasonal traditions come and go, yet their magic lingers on in memory. Her vocal delivery on Evergreen is nothing short of angelic, but it’s grounded in an emotional honesty that feels genuine—she sings as if she’s sharing a secret about Christmas that only she knows, making the listener feel truly seen and invited into the story.

ACM Nominated Trio Runaway June Release Stunning Cover of "Mary, Did You Know?"

The first female trio to crack the Top 5 on the U.S. Mediabase Country Chart since The Chicks, Runaway June brings their signature three-part harmonies to a modern Christmas classic!

The “Buy My Own Drinks” trio Runaway June got into the holiday spirit with a two-song release: their cover of “Mary, Did You Know?” and a spirited original, “Santa, Send Your Reindeer.” 

“Mary, Did You Know?” was penned by Mark Lowry and Buddy Greene while touring with Christian artist Michael English, who in 1991 became the first artist to cut the song. Runaway June’s own musical conversation with the mother of God slow-builds from quiet and mystical to impassioned and inspirational.

The two-pack release also features the newly written holiday song for 2024, “Santa, Send Your Reindeer." The original is a fun tune that was inspired by something not so fun – getting stranded at the airport when you’re trying to make it home for the holidays. That’s why Runaway June wants Santa to send Rudolph and team asap!

“Santa, Send Your Reindeer” was written by two of the three members of Runaway June – Jennifer Wayne and Natalie Stovall – along with label-mate Annie Bosko. The third member of Runaway June is lead singer Stevie Woodward, and the band’s Holiday A- and B-sides were produced by six-time GRAMMY winner Ron Fair (Christina Aguilera).

Stream both "Mary, Did You Know?" and "Santa, Send Your Reindeer" HERE.(preferred music platform) 

“Mr. Kringle bring your jingle! Our rendition of ‘Mary, Did You Know?’ and original ‘Santa, Send Your Reindeer’ are both out now,” the group shared in an announcement post on Instagram.

UPDATE

On November 29, 2024 they released their latest single, ‘He Ain’t My Problem' a fiery and fun breakup anthem.

Produced by two-time GRAMMY winner Kristian Bush (Sugarland, Megan Moroney), the high-energy track was co-written by band members Jennifer Wayne, Natalie Stovall, and Stevie Woodward during what started as a casual venting session.

“The three of us were sitting in a hotel room one night, and we were having a venting session, as ladies do,” recalled Stevie. “Jen said, ‘He ain’t my problem no more,’ and we’re, like, ‘Oh, snap! We’ve gotta write that one.’ So we ordered some parmesan fries and some wine and we wrote this tune. It’s a little too much of a true story.”

STREAM / LISTEN TO “He Ain’t My Problem” HERE.

OR WATCH the official visualizer video below:

“I thought I’d have a family that always stuck together, but sometimes stuff just happens,” shared Jennifer. “We hope you can’t relate, but if you’re going through a divorce or a breakup or anything like that, this song is for you.”

“‘He Ain’t My Problem’ was not only so much fun to write, it’s also one of the most fun songs that we get to play in our set,” said Natalie. “It feels like everybody in the audience gets it and they’re in it with us, every single time we play the song. So, when we went into the studio to record it, it was really important to us to keep that feeling of playing live and having fun.”

Defiant guitars and driving percussion musically mirror the forward motion of movin’ on, while the lyrics of “He Ain’t My Problem” create an authentic and empowering alchemy of hurt, healing, and humor (Hey at least I ain’t gotta fake it tonight). 

With “He Ain’t My Problem” having already become a fan favorite at live shows,

Runaway June also launched a line of “He Ain’t My Problem” official merchandise, available from the band’s online store.

ABOUT RUNAWAY JUNE    Strong-minded, soft-hearted, and wildly free-spirited, each member of Runaway June possesses the kind of powerhouse talent and radiant charisma that fully commands the spotlight. But when the three musicians sing together, their crystalline harmonies create an impact well beyond the sum of its parts and instantly stir up a whole world of feeling: sweet relief from heartache, escape from the everyday chaos, an unabashed freedom to shake off your inhibitions.

Gifted, celebrated creators from the writing room to the studio and concert stage, Runaway June is comprised of founding member Jennifer Wayne (vocals, rhythm guitar), Natalie Stovall (vocals, fiddle, mandolin) and Stevie Woodward (lead vocals and guitar, harmonica).

“The holidays are a time for many of us to gather with family and loved ones. It’s truly one of my favorite times of year.

This song is my toast to the parties of one and I hope it brings comfort to anyone who needs it this holiday season.” - Lee Brice

BOWEN * YOUNG release tender cover of Joni Mitchell's holiday classic 'River'

RELEASE COVER OF JONI MITCHELL’S ‘RIVER’

BOWEN * YOUNG have released a beautiful and tender cover of Joni Mitchell’s stirring holiday classic, ‘River’. You can listen to the track here (preferred music platform).

BOWEN * YOUNG comment, “As a duo, we very rarely sing sad love songs.  And as far as songs go, there is no perfecting perfection. Joni Mitchell’s version is one of the most beautiful songs ever written. The longer we live, the more aware we become of the fact that the holidays are a very difficult time for some people. And sometimes you just need something you can cry to.”

The track follows the release of a new, electrified version of their anthemic track ‘Hair Of The Dog’, which features a guest appearance from award-winning UK singer / songwriter, Kezia Gill. Watch the video here.

After crossing paths at the Highways festival at Royal Albert Hall earlier this year, and playing each other’s songs in an impromptu backstage jam, it was clear that there was real chemistry between Bowen * Young & Kezia; so much so that the Nashville-based duo felt they had to get Kezia involved in a new, reimagined version of ‘Hair Of The Dog’.
