Introduction to Beyoncé’s Latest Achievement
Beyoncé has added another prestigious award to her collection, an Emmy, to go along with her 35 Grammys. This award was for outstanding costumes for a variety, nonfiction, or reality show for her Western-themed halftime show, "Beyoncé Bowl," which was part of Netflix’s Christmas NFL game between the Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans.
The Emmy Win
Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, her legal name, was listed as one of the key people on the team that won the Emmy. The show, which took place in her hometown of Houston, marked the live debut of songs from her album "Cowboy Carter." This special Emmy is Beyoncé’s first, and it brings her closer to achieving an EGOT, with her already having 35 Grammys and now needing a Tony and an Oscar to complete the quartet.
The Award and Its Significance
The award was among several juried Emmys announced in August, which are determined outside the regular voting process and given out by committees. These awards are usually highly technical and rarely go to famous names. However, Beyoncé’s win is significant, not just because of her fame, but also because it recognizes her contribution to the creative and technical aspects of her show.
Upcoming Nominations and Competitions
Beyoncé is also nominated for best variety special as a producer of "Beyoncé Bowl" and for best direction of a variety special. Interestingly, her husband, Jay-Z, is competing against her as an executive producer of Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show. This sets up an exciting competition between two talented individuals in the music and entertainment industry.
Tailgating with CultureMap
In related news, Texans fans can look forward to CultureMap’s big fall sports bash, The Tailgate, which will take place on September 11. The event promises to be an exciting gathering with tailgate-inspired cuisine, premium cocktails, activations, and appearances from favorite Houston teams. Early-bird tickets are already on sale, and sponsors like FLIGHT by Yuengling and Puttshack are lined up to make the party a success.
Conclusion
Beyoncé’s Emmy win is a testament to her hard work and dedication to her craft. With this award, she moves closer to achieving an EGOT, a rare feat in the entertainment industry. As she and her husband, Jay-Z, compete in upcoming nominations, fans can look forward to more exciting performances and productions from these talented artists. Meanwhile, events like The Tailgate offer a fun way for fans to come together and celebrate their favorite teams and sports.
