You Maaaaad! Megyn Kelly Conservatively Criticizes Beyoncé's ‘Try Too Hard' Levi's Jeans Ad, BeyHive Swiftly Swarms ‘America Has A Problem' Paradigm
Conservative talk show host Megyn Kelly had a full-on meltdown over Beyoncé's new ad with Levi's Jeans, and the 'America Has A Problem' paradigm took the opportunity to let the entire world know about her disdain for the almighty Queen B, once again. Source: Gary Gershoff/Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic On Aug. 5, 54-year-old Kelly took to X to criticize Beyoncé's latest mini film and ad, The Denim Cowboy , which dropped Aug. 4. The short film, promoting her new collaboration with the leading denim brand, features Beyoncé riding a motorcycle through the Deep South while modeling standout pieces from the collection. In one scene, she sports blonde, curly hair and wears the Curve Western Crystal Jeans with a matching denim jacket, a look Kelly described as overly 'artificial.' We care about your data. See our privacy policy. She compared the Houston-bred star's Levi's ad to a recent American Eagle campaign starring Euphoria actress Sydney Sweeney, which debuted in late July. The video has since faced backlash over claims of promoting eugenic and white supremacy ideals with its title 'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans,' a play on 'good genes, ' The Hill reported. But, to no surprise, Sweeney's ad seemed perfectly fine to Kelly. 'This is the opposite of the Sydney Sweeney ad. Quite clearly, there is nothing natural about Beyoncé,' Kelly penned on Tuesday about the 43-year-old singer. 'Everything — from her image to her fame to her success to her look below — is bought and paid for. Screams artificial, fake, enhanced, trying too hard.' The slick remark didn't sit well with members of the BeyHive, Beyoncé's devoted fanbase. A few fans took to the comments section to sting the conservative talk show host. 'Megyn, the irony of calling Beyoncé 'artificial' while building your entire career on curated outrage, blond ambition, and political pandering is astounding,' wrote one user. 'Beyoncé is a global icon with unmatched talent, work ethic, and cultural impact, none of which can be bought, no matter how many Fox News segments you host,' she continued. 'Critiquing Black excellence because it doesn't come in a package you're comfortable with isn't edgy, it's tired. Beyoncé didn't 'buy' her success; she earned it through decades of dominance in an industry that rarely gives Black women their due. You're not offering a critique, you're coping. Loudly.' Another fan commented: 'Per celebrity net worth: Megyn Kelly $45m, Sydney Sweeney $40m, Beyonce $700m. Envy is a bad look. So is skin colour racism.' Roland Martin entered the chat as well with choice words for the Republican broadcaster. 'I have seen @megynkelly up close. And I've seen @Beyonce up close. And I can GUARANTEE you that one of them is pale, frail, and plastic-looking. And it damn sure ain't Beyonce. Beyoncé's natural looks blow Kelly away. Y'all, it ain't even close. Megyn is just jealous of Bey.' This isn't the first time that Kelly has opened her chapped lips to talk down on Beyoncé. On May 29, while talking to System Update host Glenn Greenwald on The Megyn Kelly Show, Kelly called the 'LEVII'S JEANS' singer out for sharing a 2024 video clip of her criticizing Cowboy Carter , the Texas native's Grammy-award-winning country album, during her latest tour. 'Beyoncé, who's on some world tour right now, reinventing herself as a country star, is running videotape during the show of yours truly.' The pathetic political pundit explained that in the interview clip, she told Sky News Australia's Paul Murray that Beyoncé and her marketing team were promoting her country debut as if it were a monumental, almost divine event. Bey clearly caught wind of it, and decided to include it in her show. 'She and her marketing people were treating that entry [into country music] like the second coming, like it's Jesus incarnate,' she added on The Megyn Kelly Show . ''All hail Queen Bey, she's here to rescue country music,' which was a perfectly thriving industry long before Beyoncé showed up.' What's up with Megyn Kelly, ya'll? Why do you think she's tripping like this over Beyoncé's new Levi's ad? Tell us your thoughts in the comments section. The post You Maaaaad!

Dolly Parton hints Cowboy Carter tour appearance
Dolly Parton says she could show up to Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter Tour. The 79-year-old country music legend was "very honoured" when the Single Ladies hitmaker, 43, remade her 1973 classic - but with a "twist" where she warns Jolene to stay clear of her man. Asked if she can be expected at one of the shows on the mammoth stadium tour, Dolly told the HuffPost: "You never know ― anything is possible! Because she really is doing great with that (tour)." On being "very amused" by Beyoncé's take on Jolene, she added: "I was very honoured that she wanted to do her version of Jolene. "That's all a great compliment to me, when somebody wants to do my songs in any version. "I was very amused by her take on that, and I got a big kick out of that. "She's not gonna sit back and say, 'Oh please don't take my man.' She's gonna kick some ass!" Beyoncé kicked off her Cowboy Carter Tour by raking in a record-setting $55.7 million gross. The Crazy In Love hitmaker finished a run of five gigs at the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California on May 9, and pulled in well over $50 million with 217,000 tickets sold. As reported by Rolling Stone magazine, the Los Angeles run was the "biggest reported single-venue engagement" of the year so far. It was also the fifth-highest grossing tour stop in Boxscore history, beaten only by U2 at the Sphere in Las Vegas across 2023 and 2024, Harry Styles at New York's Madison Square Garden in 2022, and Take That's Wembley Stadium run in 2011. What's more, it also marked the highest-grossing single-venue engagement in history by a female artist. Beyoncé started her tour on April 28 and returned to the venue on May 1, 4, 7 and 9, pulling in an average of $11.1 million per night with over 43,000 fans in attendance for each show. With three performances as SoFi in 2023, her eight gigs in total was more than any other artist in the venue's five-year history. On the opening night of the SoFi run, the Grammy Award-winner was joined onstage by her daughters Blue Ivy Carter and Rumi Carter. Blue Ivy, 13, danced with her famous mother during her performance of America Has A Problem. Later on, it was time for Beyoncé and Jay-Z's seven-year-old, Rumi Carter, to make her onstage debut. As Beyoncé belted out the moving ballad Protector, Rumi and her big sister stood with her under the spotlight. Following the performance, pictures of Beyoncé and her three children - also including Rumi's twin brother Sir - appeared on a big screen behind her.
