The famed singer pulled off an epic halftime performance during the Baltimore Ravens taking on the Houston Texans. With an entrance that included riding in on a white horse in a shining white outfit, Beyonce kicked off the festivities by performing song off her hit country album, "Cowboy Carter."

Not only did Beyonce tear the roof down, but she also brought in fellow country icons, Shaboozey and Post Malone to aid her in signing and entertaining the masses. Here is what fans had to say about the epic performance on X.

Naturally, many fans of the "Queen B" were pointing to her entrance, while others revealed she performed with her daughter, Blue Ivy. Many fans also made tons of jokes about how they were waiting for the football game to end so they could see their favorite singer take the field.

The NFL often pulls out all the stops when it comes to quality halftime performances and getting Beyonce is clearly a massive hit for fans. This isn't the first time the ever-popular singer has appeared at a halftime show.

Beyonce performed at the 2013 halftime show, which included a reunion of her former group, Destiny's Child. She also joined Coldplay to perform a song during the 2016 halftime show for the Super Bowl.

The #BeyonceBowl hashtag took off on X, which was expected. The moment she was announced as the special Christmas Day performer, the internet was well ready to see what kind of performance she delivered.

The entire halftime show featured white costumes and coloring, along with a ton of country hits. Beyonce even covered a bit of the famous Dolly Parton hit, "Jolene."

Clearly, the reception from fans on the internet is wholly positive, and this is sure to lead to many calling for her to return to perform again during the Super Bowl. For 2025, rapper Kendrick Lamar is set to take the stage for the first time by himself.

Beyonce may be called on to aid Kendrick Lamar in his halftime performance, though that is not a guarantee. For now, fans can rave about Beyonce after her epic performance on Christmas Day.
