The NFL had its eyes on Beyoncé’s fashion during her Christmas halftime performance.
A source exclusively tells Us Weekly that as a result of Beyoncé, 43, stepping onto the football field for a must-see performance on December 25, the NFL cautioned the Cowboy Carter singer and her team that she would be fined $500 for each crystal that fell off her costume during her halftime set.
“They would charge her for each once they found,” the insider explains. “It’s for players’ safety because anything like that on the field could cause injury.”
After the halftime show, the Houston Texans and Baltimore Ravens took to the field at NRG Stadium in Texas for the second half of the game. The Ravens ended up beating the home team 31 to 2.

While it’s unclear if Beyoncé faced any wardrobe mishaps or fines after her gig, fans certainly loved every moment of her performance.
Viewership for Netflix’s coverage of Wednesday’s Christmas Day football peaked with 27 million viewers for Beyoncé’s set. In fact, more people watched the Grammy winner’s performance than the two football games the streamer aired that day.
After renditions of “16 Carriages” and “Black Bird,” Beyoncé surprised the crowd by singing “RIIVERDANCE” with Shaboozey and “LEVII’S Jeans” with Post Malone.
To top the night off, Beyoncé’s 12-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, joined the backing dancers when it was time to sing “Texas Hold ‘Em.”
For the special performance, Beyoncé opted for a studded white, long-sleeve bodysuit with coordinated chaps courtesy of Lindsey James Show Clothing.
Stylist Shiona Turini also picked out an ASN cowboy hat, Lorraine Schwartz jewelry and Christian Louboutin boots for the major moment.
While the performance earned a round of applause from many fans, the former Destiny’s Child member still faced some critics. As a result, Beyoncé’s mom, Tina Knowles, decided to send a message to the haters.
“It is mind-boggling to me that you would take your precious Christmas day and watch a performance of someone you hate and you don’t think has talent so that you can go talk ish about it later😂😂,” she wrote via Instagram on December 27. “Go to another channel when it’s halftime watch goofy cartoons or Bozo the clown or something you can relate to and see yourself in.”
