Beyoncé hit out at Netflix's past technical challenges in an advertising video for her NFL Christmas Gameday halftime performance.

This comes as the “Texas Hold 'Em” singer is set to kick off the halftime show of the Baltimore Ravens vs. Houston Texans NFL game on Christmas Day in her hometown at NRG Stadium.

Taking to X and Instagram, Beyoncé posted a promotional clip to promote the performance, garnering over 3.5 million views.

In the promotional video, the singer can be seen strumming the banjo while seated on a football field. However, as soon as she takes off her sunglasses, the screen begins to buffer, honoring the streaming service's previous challenges during the November Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul bout.

The clip then ends with Beyonce winking as the Texans and Ravens logos and the Netflix logo emerge. “I’m sending you big joy and love on this Cowboy Christmas Eve,” she wrote in the caption her Instagram post. “I’ll see y’all tomorrow, in my city HTX.”

Reacting to her post, Netflix quipped, “Now hold on.” They even added “roasted by Beyoncé 12.24.24” to their X bio.
