Megyn Kelly has reiterated her criticisms of Beyoncé on The Megyn Kelly Show after discovering that the Grammy-winning artist includes footage of her in the Cowboy Carter tour.
On the show, Kelly criticized Beyoncé, labeling her as “untouchable” and “privileged,” while also accusing her of aiming to “portray herself as a victim” to her fans.
“I recently became aware that Beyoncé, who is currently on a global tour rebranding herself as a country artist, is showing video clips of none other than me during her performances,” Kelly remarked on the show.
The right-wing pundit explained that the clip showed her criticizing Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter album, which she said felt like it was being marketed by the singer as “the second coming” of Jesus.
“Like itâs Jesus incarnate, heâs back. All hail Queen Bey. Sheâs here to rescue country music,” Kelly complained, adding that country music “was a perfectly thriving industry long before Beyoncé showed up.”
Kelly aired a video from the concert, which showed a blurred video of Kelly saying Beyoncé “decided to stick her big toe into the lane” playing on the screens surrounding the stage.
“It appears to be a set up for her doubters, for her haters,” Kelly explained on her show. “Someone who posted it online referred to me as a white supremacist, I guess because I didnât bow down to Queen Bey as she walked into country music.”
Kelly railed against the singer as journalist Glenn Greenwald listened on. She complained that Beyoncé is widely considered to be immune to criticism, spurring her to want to criticize her even further.
âYouâre not allowed to rip on her. By the way, youâre not allowed to rip on Michelle Obama, either, but we do,â Kelly said. âToo bad. The more untouchable you tell me somebody is, the more likely I am to want to hit them.â
Kelly continued, “She had to scour the internet to find anybody who offered any criticism of this move whatsoever. Here is another one of the most privileged, beloved women in the world ⦠and richest based on her own fortune, never mind the man sheâs married to, but still has to look for the one sliver where she could play the victim and be aggrieved, because big bad Megyn Kelly said something completely milk toast about her entry into country music.â
The Cowboy Carter tour kicked off in Los Angeles April 30, where it debuted with a record-breaking $55 million in earnings, per Billboard.
