Beyoncé Fans Slam 'Racist' Megyn Kelly After She Called The Singer 'Fake' And 'Artificial'

Megyn Kelly has never been a big fan of Beyoncé, and last night, she made sure to let the singer know once more.

However, the former Fox News journalists' comments about Queen Bey didn't sit well with her loyal BeyHive.

Shortly after learning about Kelly's statements, several Beyoncé fans laid into the 54-year-old on social media, calling her out for seemingly trying to pick a fight with the "Cowboy Carter" singer.

Days after Beyoncé launched the next installment of her longstanding denim collection with Levi's, Kelly took to social media to call the singer and mother of three "fake" and "artificial."

"This is the opposite of the Sydney Sweeney ad," she wrote on her X account. "Quite clearly, there is nothing natural about Beyoncé. Everything — from her image to her frame to her success to her look below — is bought and paid for."

Kelly continued, "Screams artificial, fake, enhanced, trying too hard."

Several Beyoncé fans replied to Kelly's post, accusing her of attacking the singer and promoting "racist" behavior.

"Your decades-long obsession with Beyoncé is very pathetic," a user wrote, while another simply wrote, "F-cking racist."

"Regardless of what you think of her, she is 'more' than you in every way," another commenter shared.

"Seriously, the venom here is over the top. Why waste your breath on this nonsense? Beyoncé's an absolute legend, and that's all that matters," a fourth poster wrote.

And on Instagram, the reaction was much of the same, with one specific commenter writing, "Beyoncé doesn't bother a soul, yet she's always in somebody's mouth."

Another user chimed in and declared Kelly's opinion "irrelevant," while another claimed the journalist is "jealous" of the singer's success.

Kelly's social media post about Beyoncé isn't the first time she's publicly voiced her frustrations about the singer. In a previous episode of her podcast, Kelly called Beyoncé out for using footage of her in one of the "Cowboy Carter" tour interludes.

"Beyoncé, who's on some world tour right now, reinventing herself as a country star, is running videotape during the show of yours truly," Kelly stated on the show.

"Here is another one of the most privileged, beloved women in the world — and richest, based on her own fortune, never mind the man she's married to — but [she] 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 milquetoast about her entry into country music," Kelly added.

Kelly wasn't the only person unimpressed by Beyoncé's entry into country music.

In 2016, the singer performed the country track "Daddy Lessons" from her sixth studio album, "Lemonade," at the Country Music Awards and received much negative feedback from viewers, as well as, according to reports, from those inside the room.

She received a similar reaction in 2024 when she released the singles "Texas Hold' Em" and "16 Carriages," with certain country radio stations refusing to play the songs after their initial release.

Beyoncé also received zero nominations for the 2024 Country Music Awards, leaving many of her supporters to question why she was seemingly snubbed. CMA host and popular country star Luke Bryan responded to the noise and explained that although he was moved by Beyoncé's country album, making one doesn't make her worthy of a nomination.

Gavin Adcock, another country singer, stated something similar in 2025, saying, "That sh-t ain't country music, and it ain't never been country music, and it ain't ever gonna be country music."

In an interview with Fox 26 Houston, Beyoncé's father, Matthew Knowles, spoke about his daughter's upbringing and implied that he wasn't surprised by her decision to create a country project.

"Beyoncé used to go to Alabama when she was like two or three-years-old. My dad, country music and blues was his favorite things. So, sometimes I think when you're that early in development, and you hear certain types of music, it has an impact on you subconsciously," he said.

Knowles later touched on the pushback Beyoncé received after announcing her "Cowboy Carter" album and explained why the reaction "disappointed" him.

"I was disappointed that, still in a world where we live in that people wouldn't see growth and change that's happening in America. And a lot of it has to do with people suppressing the future of this country and what it's going to look like," Knowles said.

Despite that, Knowles was moved by the impact Beyoncé's album had on other artists' careers, such as Shaboozey, whose single "Bar Song" reached No. 1 on the Hot 100.

"Country music will never be the same. Country music will have Blackness in it," he said.
