This is technically the third halftime show Beyoncé has performed, after taking the stage at two Super Bowl games. Her latest performance will give Netflix a chance to redeem itself after the glitches that took place this weekend during its livestream of the boxing match between YouTuber Jake Paul and heavyweight champion Mike Tyson.
Netflix said 60 million households watched the live fight and it quickly became evident that the match was a test of its live-streaming infrastructure. More than 1 million reports from across 50 different countries were filed to Downdetector, which offers a window into telecommunication outages. The hashtag #NetflixCrash was also trending on X during the event. Last year, Netflix faced issues with its live stream of the Season 4 Reunion of “Love is Blind,” which crashed and experienced an hours-long delay.
