Tina’s Fierce Defense of Beyoncé:
After the halftime show, which was watched by millions of viewers, Tina expressed her disbelief at the criticism Beyoncé received. She called the hate “mind-boggling” and couldn’t understand why people would spend their Christmas day watching a performance from someone they claimed to dislike. In an Instagram post, Tina wrote, “It is mind-boggling to me that you would take your precious Christmas day and watch a performance of someone you hate. And you don’t think has talent so that you can go talk ish about it later.”
Tina continued, “Obviously, you are so obsessed with them, addicted to them, and secretly admire them, wish you could be them, that you cannot help but watch. And critique and comment and say dumb ridiculous stuff that makes you look like a joke!!”
Beyoncé’s Performance and Impact:
Despite the criticism, Beyoncé’s performance was widely celebrated, with many fans and critics calling it incredible.

She also took the opportunity to remind her followers of the strength and resilience Beyoncé has shown throughout her career. “So go to another channel when it’s halftime, watch goofy cartoons or Bozo the Clown or something you can relate to and see yourself in. Said with love,” Tina continued in her post. “PS I have learned so much from her warrior spirit, of when they go low I work harder,” she added, quoting the Bible verse, “No weapon formed against me shall prosper.”
Tina’s powerful words were a direct response to the relentless criticism Beyoncé faces, showing her unwavering support for her daughter and her ability to rise above negativity.
