Her perforrmance opens the second annual Christmas Gameday on Netflix, with the Dallas Cowboys playing the Washington Commanders<\/p>\n
\n\tKelly Clarkson<\/a> kicked off the NFL\u2019s Christmas Gameday<\/a> on Netflix<\/a> with an exuberant and appropriately festive rendition of her holiday original \u201cUnderneath the Tree.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tIn the filmed performance that opened the festivities, Clarkson descended from the sky in a sleigh and swooped past a super-sized Christmas tree to land on a snow-covered stage. NFL<\/a> players ran around the tree, executing flawless passes and sacking gigantic presents, while fans cheered, cheerleaders danced, and Clarkson\u2019s signature vocals filled the stadium \u2014 which was revealed to be a magical Netflix snowglobe in the clip\u2019s final moments.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \n\tClarkson, who was announced as the Christmas Gameday opener earlier this month, had the additional honor of opening for her favorite team, the Dallas Cowboys, who kicked off the Christmas Day doubleheader against the Washington Commanders. Netflix has also enlisted<\/a> Snoop Dogg, Lainey Wilson, and the singing stars behind KPop Demon Hunters\u2019 Huntr\/x \u2014 EJAE, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami \u2014 to perform during halftime of the second game between the Minnesota Vikings and the Detroit Lions.\u00a0<\/p>\n \t\tTrending Stories<\/p>\n \n\tNetflix debuted its Christmas Gameday slate last year. For the inaugural doubleheader in 2024, the streaming giant tapped Mariah Carey for an opening rendition<\/a> of \u201cAll I Want for Christmas Is You,\u201d while Beyonc\u00e9 performed<\/a> her Cowboy Carter<\/a> songs for the first time live during the halftime show.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tBack in November, Clarkson performed a short run of shows for her Studio Sessions residency at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. (These also marked her first gigs since the death of her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock<\/a>, in August.) Clarkson has also been busy with her daytime talk show<\/a>, and is set to resume her Vegas residency next summer with a bunch of new shows<\/a> in July and August.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Her perforrmance opens the second annual Christmas Gameday on Netflix, with the Dallas Cowboys playing the Washington Commanders…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":368447,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[436],"tags":[49,48,14421,1316,514,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-368446","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-kelly-clarkson","11":"tag-netflix","12":"tag-nfl","13":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/368446","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=368446"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/368446\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/368447"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=368446"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=368446"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=368446"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
