Post Malone Shares Sweet Message for Beyoncé After Their Epic NFL Halftime Collab: ‘I Love You’

Post Malone is giving Beyoncé a sweet shout-out!

The musician, 29, made a surprise cameo during Beyoncé’s epic Christmas Day halftime show at the Texans-Ravens game at NRG Stadium in Houston. Beyoncé, 43, brought major holiday spirit — and Cowboy Carter vibes — to the football event, arriving on horseback and performing in a snow-white cowboy hat and sparkly white cowgirl outfit. 

Later in the show — after Beyoncé performed with country singer Shaboozey — Malone appeared, and the pair dove into their hit collab “LEVII’S JEANS.”

Malone expressed his appreciation for the opportunity to share the stage with the music icon in a message shared on X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday, Dec. 28.

“Thank you @Beyonce so much for havin me out in Houston, and on your beautiful record. Also, thank you for sharin your talent and art with the world. I love you,” he wrote.

Fans took the opportunity to share their praise for the recent collaboration, with one X user commenting, “IT WAS FANTASTIC!” Another chimed in with a hopeful, “New collab??” 

The halftime show marked the first time Beyoncé performed songs from her latest album in front of a live audience, and the evening — which has since been dubbed the “Beyoncé Bowl” — also featured a special cameo by her 12-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy.

Blue Ivy appeared as her mom closed out the show with “Texas Hold ‘Em,” and Beyoncé gave a nod to her eldest child with a subtle lyric change: “Then spin me in the middle, Blue, I can’t read your mind.” 

The pair then did an elaborate line dance before Beyoncé floated up on a platform for the grand finale.

Other songs from the evening included “16 Carriages,” “Blackbiird” (featuring Brittney Spencer, Reyna Roberts, Tiera Kennedy and Tanner Adell), “My House” and “SPAGHETTII.” The show also featured a live a cappella group to back Beyoncé on “AMERIICAN REQUIEM.”

Houston is Beyoncé’s hometown, and head of her performance, Hans Schroeder, NFL executive vice president of media distribution, told Newsweek the “Single Ladies” singer was “excited” to perform there.

Schroeder also noted that the Texans had “been great in working to make sure [the show goes smoothly],” adding, “You know, it’s their home game. But how this comes to life on the day in their building for their fans in the stadium [matters to them]. So I think it’s just going to be one heck of a show.”
