From her Destiny’s Child days to her Cowboy Carter era, Beyoncé is Queen Bey for a reason. And on the heels of winning her first Album of the Year award at the 2025 Grammys — an accolade honoring her acclaimed country album and cementing her status as the most decorated musical artist of all time — the superstar is taking her white horse on the road with the Cowboy Carter stadium tour.
While you put together your finest Western wear for the occasion, there’s no better time to absorb all the Bey you can get, starting with her epic Beyoncé Bowl halftime performance from the NFL Christmas Gameday live on Netflix. Once you’re done there, you’ll wanna giddyup and gather ’round to watch (and rewatch) some of her most iconic songs and performances, from a behind-the-scenes look at her preparation for headlining Coachella, to her catalog of music and its prominent presence on television.
There are many ways you can indulge right here on Netflix — all you have to do is scroll down (down, down, down …).
During the second matchup on NFL Christmas Gameday, Beyoncé took the field in her hometown of Houston for an epic performance that marked the first live performance of songs from her record-breaking Cowboy Carter album. The halftime show — which was produced by her company, Parkwood Entertainment, and Jesse Collins Entertainment — opened with the artist entering the stadium on horseback and ended with her ascending into the rafters with a literal bang. In between, there were special guests (including Post Malone, Shaboozey, and Blue Ivy Carter, who joined her mother as a featured dancer), tributes to Western and rodeo culture, and close to 200 members of Texas Southern University’s Ocean of Soul Marching Band. Call it a Christmas gift from the Queen (Bey) — one fans can watch again and again as a stand-alone special.
Eight months of rehearsals. Two nights headlining. Homecoming peels back the curtain for a behind-the-scenes look at Beyoncé’s historic 2018 Coachella performance. With candid footage, vulnerable talks regarding her pregnancy complications, interviews detailing her preparation, and discussions on the powerful intent behind her vision, Homecoming delivers an authentic chronicling of events like none other. This detailed documentary of Beyoncé’s return to the stage after the birth of her twins reveals the emotional road from creative concept to a cultural movement.
Queen Bey meets Queen Charlotte on the series’ regal soundtrack, which features a number of Bey’s songs in the form of beautiful orchestral covers. It starts in Season 1, Episode 1, when a classical rendition of “Halo” by Brian Chan and Caleb Chan plays in the background as the young Charlotte (India Amarteifio) and young George (Corey Mylchreest) exit their wedding ceremony together via carriage. You’ll also hear a cover of “Deja Vu” by Audiostation during a montage from King George’s perspective in Episode 4, and in Episode 5 a cover of “Run the World (Girls),” also by Brian Chan and Caleb Chan, appropriately accompanies scenes depicting Charlotte and Lady Danbury (Arsema Thomas) taking initiative in their personal lives.
In Season 3, Episode 2, Titus (Tituss Burgess) suspects his boyfriend, Mikey (Michael Carlsen), is cheating and channels his inner Beyoncé with a whole Lemonade homage that includes his own version of her yellow “Hold Up” ensemble, along with Emmy-nominated singing (and bat swinging).
During Season 3, Episode 17 of All American, Olivia (Samantha Logan) and Simone (Geffri Maya) perform a stunningly captivating dance at a fashion show that’s choreographed to Bey’s “Partition.”
In a show with as many seasons (and notable needle drops) as Grey’s, you knew a Beyoncé song had to make it in at some point. Queue up Season 12, Episode 23, and you’ll hear “Pray You Catch Me” playing over a pivotal moment in which Callie (Sara Ramirez) and Penny (Samantha Sloyan) have an emotional conversation about whether or not they should break up.
