Making a grand entrance on horseback, Beyoncé performed eight tracks including "16 Carriages," "Blackbird," "American Requiem," "Ya Ya," "Spaghetti/Riverdance," "Levii's Jeans," "Jolene," and "Texas Hold 'Em." The show featured guest appearances from Post Malone, Shaboozey, Reyna Roberts, Tanner Adell, Brittney Spencer, and Tiera Kennedy, with her daughter Blue Ivy Carter joining for a dance performance.

The show received mixed reactions from viewers. While many praised the production value and showmanship, others criticized the country music interpretations and felt the performance wasn't appropriate for Christmas Day. The finale, featuring Beyoncé on an elevated scaffold making a finger-gun gesture with a "Bang" banner, sparked debate due to the NFL's previous penalties for similar gestures by players.

The complete performance, dubbed "Beyoncé Bowl," will be available as a special on Netflix later this week.
