By now you’ve seen the groveling “Beyoncé sleighed” posts about her Netflix Christmas Day halftime show during the Houston Texans vs Baltimore Ravens game in Houston.
If you love lip-syncing with very little effort, then Beyoncé’s halftime show was everything. But most football fans were hoping for an exciting performance from the 43-year-old mom-of-three. Sadly, she didn’t deliver.
An in-your-face highly-sexualixed pagan performance specifically for Christmas on Christmas, brought to us by the NFL and Netflix.

Make no mistake: Beyoncé wasn’t performing for her fans — she was performing for the Grammy Awards voters.
Beyoncé’s lip-sync performance was all about influencing the Grammys voting, which usually takes place over the holidays. Beyoncé is the leading nominee with 10, including nods in all four country music categories.
Fans have already made it clear that they are not here for Beyoncé’s yodeling on her Cowboy Carter album, but she doesn’t care. She craves more awards for her trophy shelf.
According to The Hollywood Reporter: “The performance started with a pre-taped moment: Wearing a white cowboy hat, Beyoncé performed “16 Carriages” while riding on a white horse; this moment marked the first time she’s performed any music from her Cowboy Carter album live. She was later joined by rising country singers — Tanner Adell, Tiera Kennedy, Reyna Roberts and Brittney Spencer —- for their cover of The Beatles “Blackbird,” harmonizing like a veteran girl group, a vocal move Queen Bey is familiar with.”
It all went downhill from there.
Didn’t Rihanna do this already?
Beyoncé performed “Ya Ya” with dozens of dancers and musicians performing on the bleachers. Then Black Country music singer Shaboozey joined Beyoncé for “Spaghetti” and she sang “Levi’s Jeans” with rapper Post Malone.
Next Beyoncé’s 12-year-old daughter Blue Ivy danced with her during “Texas Hold ‘Em.”
Fans noticed that Blue Ivy was stiff, nervous and seemingly unprepared for her gig.
One X user wrote, “I feel especially bad for her daughter Blue Ivy. Whether she wanted to be there or not, that poor child was unprepared for that performance. Any dancer knows she looked nervous, she messed up steps, this is a 12 year old girl that clearly didn’t get the practice time. Sad.”
Nope.

Others called Beyoncé “overrated” and “tired.” How much longer must we suffer through Beyoncé’s lackluster shows just so she can win more awards?

Beyonce is a dancer that sucks at singing.
Reminds me of Swift, except Swift sucks at both. It’s all a Marketing scam.— America First Annie ?? MAGA (@AmFirstMAGA2) December 26, 2024
Nothing says ‘Christmas’ like pedophile Jay-Z’s wife, flailing around in assless chaps.

The NFL and Netflix are so unaware of what the general population is talking about. I don’t think they realize how much everyone is sick of celeberties. Especially ones who say they fight for people, when in reality they are either abusing children or protecting child abusers.
