The singer performed 12 minutes of songs at NRG Stadium in her hometown of Houston, mostly from her album Cowboy Carter.

The star performed songs from her country-and-more album for the first time during an N.F.L. game, spotlighting her onstage prowess and the contributions of her collaborators.

Beyoncé Knowles-Carter took the stage at NRG Stadium on Christmas Day performing the halftime show at the Houston Texans vs. Baltimore Ravens game. The 32-time Grammy-winning artist began the performance by singing "16 Carriages" while riding a white horse into the stadium.
