"Queen is coming" "We don't want Jay-Z or her": NFL fans divided as league drops new Beyonce halftime show teaser
There's just one day to go until Beyonce takes the stage at halftime of the Baltimore Ravens vs Houston Texans game on Christmas Day. She last headlined at Super Bowl XLVII. Although the upcoming regular season game is not as prestigious as the climax of the NFL season, the fact that it's happening on Christmas Day has made it something to look forward to.
The NFL dropped a teaser on Christmas Eve.
The trailer seemingly took a dig at Netflix, which was mocked when the Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson fight faced streaming issues due to the large number of people that tuned in.
The reactions to the teaser were mixed.
One fan was excited for the "Queen":
"The QUEEN IS COMING"
However, one fan said that they neither wanted Beyonce, nor her husband, Jay-Z, to headline the halftime show.
"We don't want Jay-Z or Beyonce 💩💩💩"
Other fans also chimed in with their reactions.
"Lamar Jackson and All of Us can’t wait!" one fan said.
"Can't wait to see how Beyoncé brings her magic to the halftime show! It’s always a moment that transcends just football." another fan said.
"I’ll be sure to mute this and grab more food," one fan said.
Lamar Jackson to ditch football in favor of Beyonce?
Lamar Jackson joked that he won't be recouping and preparing for the second half of his game against the Texans. Instead, he wants to watch Beyonce perform. He said it would be his first time watching the pop star perform live.
"Nah, cause I'm gonna go out there and watch. I'm gonna go out there and watch, man. First time seeing Beyoncé perform, and it's at our game. That's dope... Sorry, Harbaugh. Sorry, fellas," he said with a smile.
The Ravens may have clinched a playoff spot, but whether they win the division or receive a wild card spot will be decided in the coming weeks. Their division rivals, the Pittsburgh Steelers, will also play on Christmas Day against the Kansas City Chiefs.
