Megyn Kelly Tried To Make A Bonkers Claim About Beyoncé—But The Internet Brought The Receipts

Kelly shared on her show how she thinks Beyoncé is playing "the victim" by claiming she faced attacks for making country music—and the internet brought the receipts.

Former Fox News Host Megyn "Santa Is White" Kelly has once again gone viral for spouting easily Google-able nonsense.

Kelly, who after a brief attempt at going legit on NBC after Trump's first election has since become a full-throated supporter of the president who publicly made period jokes about her on national television, recently tried to come for the Queen Bey herself, Beyoncé.


During a segment on The Megyn Kelly Show she claimed that Beyoncé hasn't actually experienced any backlash for making country music and that she's just been playing the "victim."

The problem is that the internet exists, and the backlash is sitting there plain as day—and it goes back much farther than Cowboy Carter, her recent album and tour.

The backlash began in 2016 when she joined The Chicks onstage at the CMA Awards to sing her Lemonade country tune "Daddy Lessons." People who attended the event have spoken to media about the vitriol they witnessed in the crowd.

Online, the response basically revolved around, to put it lightly, how Beyoncé supposedly did not "belong" at the CMAs. The backlash was so intense that the CMAs reportedly briefly deleted video posts of the performance after comments filled up with vitriol, including racial slurs.

The experience is said to have been part of the inspiration for Cowboy Carter, which received a backlash all its own when Beyoncé won the Best Country Album Grammy earlier this year.

But you know how conservatives are—unless something actually contains the n-word, they love to pretend that it can't possibly be racist.

And when it comes to the 2016-era backlash, that was a time when X and Instagram still had content moderation, so a lot of the vitriol that would fit conservatives' bill for what constitutes racism was scrubbed from the internet.

Megyn Kelly surely knows this, and also knows that her audience of dunderheads won't bother to fact check anything. So of course her comments worked like a charm, and her following has taken to social media once again to spin the same stupid vitriol about how Beyoncé can't possibly be a country singer. For what reason, many of them will not say, of course.

Others who live in reality were not convinced. 


Anyway, it's worth noting that what sparked Kelly's rant seems to have been Beyoncé including a clip of Kelly in the visuals for her ongoing Cowboy Carter Tour.

But there are some offenses that are far too big to overcome, and much less obvious to anyone on the outside looking in, the little things can hugely and hurtfully add up over the years.
