The unofficial “Queen of Christmas” originally released the song as the lead single from her 1994 holiday album Merry Christmas. The album also features “Miss You Most (At Christmas Time)” and Carey’s rendition of “Joy to the World.”
Beyoncé later took the field at NRG Stadium in her hometown of Houston, Texas, as the headlining halftime performer. The superstar was joined by Post Malone, Shaboozey, Reyna Roberts, Tanner Adell, Brittney Spencer, Tiera Kennedy, her daughter Blue Ivy Carter, the Texans cheerleaders, and several rodeo stars.
The setlist for her 12-minute performance included excerpts from “16 Carriages,” “Blackbiird,” “Ameriican Requiem,” “Ya Ya,” “Spaghettii/Riiverdance,” “Levii’s Jeans,” “Jolene” and “Texas Hold ‘Em.” The songs appear on Beyoncé’s album Cowboy Carter.
Beyoncé’s performance will be released on Netflix as the standalone special Beyoncé Bowl. The special will premiere on the streaming service later this week, according to a press release.
