- Beyoncé is selling her Christmas Day half-time NFL soccer recreation efficiency
- She produced a particular video to take action
- Questions about Netflix’s means to deal with it stay
If you are amped for Netflix’s first-ever stay Christmas Day NFL soccer recreation, you are in all probability much more excited concerning the halftime present: Beyoncé. That’s proper, the megastar will carry out on the midpoint, in all probability enjoying tracks from her wildly profitable nation album, Cowboy Carter. But you may also be somewhat apprehensive.
Last month, the streaming large struggled by the stay Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul boxing match, the place at the least 108 million simultaneous viewers tuned in to see Paul take out an getting older champion in an embarrassing vogue. The embarrassment was truly on Netflix’s half, although, which offered its iconic spinning wheel of disconnection to tens of millions of would-be viewers.
Naturally, we’re all questioning if Netflix can deal with what might be an excellent bigger viewers tuning in simply to see Beyoncé carry out stay…and that apparently contains the enduring singer.
Beyoncé took to X (previously Twitter) on Christmas Eve to advertise her half-time present with somewhat nation choosing. In the transient video, under a tweet that stated, “I’m sending you huge pleasure and love on this Cowboy Christmas Eve I’ll see y’all tomorrow, in my metropolis HTX,” Beyoncé is seated with a banjo on her knee, causally strumming when…the Netflix spinning circle seems and Beyoncé is quickly frozen.

I do know I watched the video questioning if now X’s personal servers had been struggling below the load of Beyoncé’s huge star energy – and that is when the video resumed and the luminescent star cheekily winked on the digital camera.
Oh, you intelligent Beyoncé.
Clearly in on the joke, Netflix shortly responded, “Now maintain on…”
Kidding apart, worries that Netflix will not be as much as the musical process stay.
Just a few weeks after the Paul vs. Tyson debacle, Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos tried to elucidate away the problems at a convention. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Sarandos stated, “We had been pushing the ISP, each ISP on this planet, proper to the bounds of their very own capability. We had been stressing the bounds of the web itself that evening.”
That a lot was clear. How Netflix takes these learnings and avoids one other evening of pink, spinning circles is one other matter. At least Beyonce appears to know what she’s in for.
