Beyoncé Shuts Down NFL Halftime Show With Cowboy Carter Takeover
Beyoncé certainly brought the vibes, turning her halftime performance at the Texas vs. Ravens game into a full-on ‘Cowboy Carter’ showdown. True to her energy, she hit fans and viewers with some major surprises. For starters, she made a heavenly entrance in a stunning white outfit, riding in on a white horse while hitting high notes to ’16 Carriages.’ Then, she teamed up with country singers Tanner Adell, Brittney Spencer, Tiera Kennedy, and Reyna Roberts for a soulful cover of The Beatles’ ‘Blackbird.’ As if that wasn’t enough, Shaboozey popped up for a surprise cameo, and Beyoncé linked up with Post Malone to perform their collab, ‘Levii’s Jeans.’

Man, Beyonce is built different. That was amazing. The level of work and care she puts into her craft is so impressive. That was probably the best nfl halftime show I seen since Beyonce at the Super Bowl.
