In a passionate show of support, Tina Knowles has come to the defense of her daughter Beyoncé following backlash over the pop icon's recent NFL Halftime Show performance on Christmas Day.

On December 27, the proud mom took to social media to address the criticism that emerged after Queen Bey's dazzling 12-minute set during the Baltimore Ravens versus Houston Texans game at NRG Stadium. The performance has since become available for streaming on Netflix, yet some detractors voiced their discontent.

Knowles began her response by resharing an inspiring message from a fan on Instagram, which condemned the negativity surrounding Beyoncé’s performance. The fan’s comment pointed out the absurdity of taking time out of Christmas Day to watch a performance by someone one dislikes, highlighting the inherent contradictions in such actions.

In her own words, Knowles echoed these sentiments, expressing disbelief that negative critics would invest their holiday in something they claim to hate. “It is mind-boggling to me that you would take your precious Christmas day and watch a performance of someone you hate,” Knowles remarked. She further stressed that such critics seem “obsessed” with Beyoncé, unable to resist the urge to comment on her work.

Reflecting on Beyoncé's resilience, she quoted the adage, “When they go low, we go high,” and emphasized her daughter's strength, reinforcing the mantra, “No weapon formed against me shall prosper.” Knowles acknowledged the inevitability of criticism and indicated that she was eagerly anticipating the backlash from trolls.

In addition to addressing the critics, Tina also celebrated the countless positive reactions to her daughter’s performance, including one particular praise from rapper Bun B. He commended Beyoncé as one of the most intentional performers in contemporary culture, stating, “She’s probably the single most intentional performer, musician and entertainer in our culture. Beyoncé knows exactly who she is, and she understands that when she does something, things change.”

Beyoncé's halftime show showcased tracks from her recent country-infused project, "Cowboy Carter," which has quickly climbed to the top of the Billboard 200. The performance featured collaborations with artists like Shaboozey, Post Malone, Tanner Adell, and Brittney Spencer, including songs such as "16 Carriages," "Texas Hold 'Em," “Levii’s Jeans,” and “Jolene.” Notably, her 12-year-old daughter Blue Ivy also graced the stage as a dancer, continuing a cherished family tradition from the Renaissance World Tour.

With this unforgettable performance now solidified in pop culture, Beyoncé continues to inspire discussion and debate—proving once again that she remains a formidable entertainer who commands attention, both criticism and admiration alike.
