Beyonce’s mother, Tina Knowles, has spoken out against online critics following her daughter’s A Cowboy Carter Christmas halftime performance during the Houston Texans-Baltimore Ravens game. The performance, featuring songs from Beyonce’s debut country album, was a historic event as the first NFL game streamed live on Netflix, attracting over 27 million viewers at its peak.
In an Instagram post, Knowles shared a fan’s comment addressing the negativity, stating, “It is mind-boggling to me that you would take your precious Christmas day and watch a performance of someone you hate … Obviously, you are so obsessed with them, addicted to them, and secretly admire them.” She praised Beyonce’s resilience and described her as a “warrior” who rises above criticism.
The 13-minute performance, now streaming on Netflix as Beyonce Bowl, included appearances by Shaboozey, Post Malone, and Beyonce’s 12-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy Carter. Despite its success, the absence of Beyonce’s husband, Jay-Z, amid renewed legal allegations against him, added a layer of controversy. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell confirmed the league’s partnership with Roc Nation remains unchanged despite the allegations.
Beyonce’s performance has been widely celebrated for its artistic achievement and cultural impact, further solidifying her status as a global icon.
