Megyn Kelly is not holding back when it comes to Beyoncé’s creative choices. The political commentator recently lashed out at the singer after discovering her blurred likeness had been used during visuals in the "Cowboy Carter" tour. According to Kelly, the clip came from a past Sky News Australia interview where she criticized Beyoncé’s shift into the country music genre—calling the album rollout "Jesus incarnated" level marketing.

Now that footage has found its way into Beyoncé’s tour visuals, Kelly feels it’s being used as a tactic to fuel a victim narrative. “You’re Beyoncé. You have more money and power than 99.999% of people,” Kelly stated on her show. “And yet, you want to act like someone’s words have wronged you so deeply that you need to project them in front of tens of thousands of fans as if you’re under attack.”

Kelly didn’t stop there. She argued that Beyoncé has become nearly "untouchable," joining a select group of public figures—like Michelle Obama—who are seen as beyond criticism. "The more untouchable you tell me somebody is, the more likely I am to want to hit them," Kelly said bluntly, claiming she’s not intimidated by the backlash that often comes with criticizing cultural icons.

The “Cowboy Carter” tour, which launched in Los Angeles in late April and will wrap up in Las Vegas this July, is Beyoncé’s most genre-shifting effort yet. It follows the success of her latest album, which has made waves both for its artistic ambition and for making her the first Black woman to win the Grammy for Best Country Album. Beyoncé has spoken openly about the resistance she faced from the country music world and the lack of acceptance she’s encountered throughout the process.

For her part, Beyoncé has remained silent on Kelly’s recent remarks. Her team has not publicly responded, nor is it likely they will—Beyoncé is known for letting her art speak for itself, rarely engaging in media drama.

Still, Kelly's comments have reignited conversations about race, genre boundaries, and the responsibility of celebrities when addressing criticism. Whether the inclusion of Kelly’s interview footage was an intentional artistic statement or simply a reflection of the scrutiny Beyoncé has faced during her career, one thing is clear: both women are sticking to their guns.
