If there’s one thing we know, it’s that Jordan Chiles is a part of the BeyHive. Popularly known as That Girl, the gymnast is a huge Beyoncé fan and has often integrated her love for the singer into gymnastics. One of the many notable mentions would be the 23-year-old’s leotard in the 2024 U.S. Championships. She donned an outfit inspired by the singer’s 2023 Renaissance World Tour, but this was one of the many times she expressed her admiration for the artist.
Here’s where it gets better! The pop icon is just as much of a fan of the Olympian. Shortly before the gymnast made her way to Paris, the multiple-time Grammy Award winner sent her a little something special. Chiles received a box with a signed Cowboy Carter album cover and a good luck note. How incredible is that? But it’s the season of giving, and the 23-year-old was in store for another surprise. What could it be?

It’s not every day that your favorite pop icon showers you with presents. On December 29, Jordan Chiles shared a video of her unboxing the gift on her Instagram stories. “This is from Netflix. Do not open until December 25th. So, we’re going to see what it is,” she stated. Glammed up in an all-white outfit, the Olympian captioned the video, “Thank you! @beyonce & @netflix @strongblacklead #BeyonceBowl” So, what was in the massive gift box, you ask?
The 23-year-old pulled out a white t-shirt dress with Beyoncé 12.25 Bowl on the front and CREW on the back. She showed it off as her family cheered in the background. But this wasn’t it. The gymnast pulled out a white shirt with the same thing on the front and the back with the addition of Houston.Texas. Excited, she promptly puts on the shirt, stating how the package she received had tour shirts. We can tell that the superfan was very pleased with her presents.
What’s Beyoncé Bowl, you ask? Netflix approached the cultural icon to perform at halftime for the Christmas game between the Ravens and Texans. The singer was paid a whopping $20 million for 13 minutes. Fans were treated to a thrilling setlist of tracks like Ya Ya, Jolene, Texas Hold ‘Em, Ameriican Requiem, Blackbiird, 16 Carriages, Spaghettii/Riiverdance, and Levii’s Jeans. However, this wasn’t her first rodeo.
The Grammy Award winner previously headlined Super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans in 2013. She was joined by Destiny’s Child members Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, becoming the second-most-watched Super Bowl halftime show in history back then. In 2016, she was back at Super Bowl 50 with Coldplay and Bruno Mars, making this the most-watched halftime show of all time. Are we even surprised? But what if we told you that Jordan Chiles got to watch the Queen live?
The Olympian’s special Christmas memory
After a tumultuous 2024, the 23-year-old looked forward to spending the holidays with her family. During TheWrap’s Power Woman Summit, she revealed the promise of a Beyoncé special to her family. So, staying true to her words, the gymnast treated her entire family to an expensive experience worth $35,000. She took her family to the NRG Stadium for the Houston Texans vs. Baltimore Ravens game at NRG Stadium.
Jordan Chiles has been to several NFL games, but she ensured this one was special. Her sister, Jasmin Chiles, shared that they didn’t just get tickets to the game, but they enjoyed the evening in a special suite worth $35,000. Could it get any better than that? Apparently, it can, and it did!

The Olympian’s family met Beyoncé, hugging her as they were mesmerized. Jazmine even shared a snippet of the pop icon’s performance from the suit. On the other hand, the 23-year-old shared a sneak peek of her evening on Instagram, “Roses are red, Christmas is white, never thought I’d be this pretty tonight 🎄.” Seems like a fitting way to end her 2024, doesn’t it?
Jordan Chiles has always enjoyed spending the holidays with her family and ensured she stayed true to her family’s traditions. However, after receiving the lovely package from Netflix, the Olympian decided to revisit the experience on the streaming platform. She captioned the video, “When you had to rewatch the Beyonce Bowl!!!! @beyonce @parkwood @netflix.” Could you blame her? If we got to live the experience of meeting our favorite pop stars, why wouldn’t we?
