‘You sound jealous and jealous’: Beyoncé’s fans jump to her defense after Megyn Kelly attacked the singer

Beyoncé took the country world by storm with her latest album, “Act II: Cowboy Carter,” which made history as the first black woman to hit No. 1 on the Billboard Country Albums chart.

This achievement makes her considered one of the most successful recording artists in history, as does the album rose to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 all-genre chart, marking her eighth consecutive chart-topping album.

These aren’t the only highlights of the album. On launch day, March 29, Spotify announced that “Act II: Cowboy Carter” had broken records as the platform’s most-streamed album in a single day in 2024. Moreover, the album set a brand new standard on Amazon Music, boasting the most first-day streams for a rustic album by a female artist.

Still, haters will hate. Far-right news commentator Megyn Kelly appeared on screen with Sky News host Paul Murray, where she omitted the Houston native’s achievements and criticized her for making music that’s antithetical to modern feminism.

She, behind the gate he barked“She’s not a queen – people like her music, she sings good music and that’s it. It didn’t cure cancer.”

“Country music has been around for a long, long time. “It goes straight to the heart of America, and most Americans in red states loved and enjoyed it long before ‘Queen Bey’ decided to put her big toe on the street,” Kelly, host of a news program titled , said, adding : “She is recording an album which, of course, since she is a queen, has gained the approval and promotion of Michelle Obama and Vice President Kamala Harris.”

She then focused her attention on one song specifically – her rendition of Dolly Parton’s “Jolene,” a two-time Grammy-nominated song that was included on Rolling Stone’s “500 Greatest Songs of All Time” list.

“She (Beyoncé) turned Jolene into her version of Bad – because that’s what modern feminism looks like,” Kelly mocked.

The lyrics of the song “Cowboy Carter” are different from the lyrics original song in tone and vibrato. The original song, written by Parton, implores a lady not to take a person because he might do it.

Bey’s version warns the woman that she’s working in vain to come get her man because they’ve a foundation and Jolene really doesn’t want any “smoke.”

Parton posted on her Instagram her acceptance of the changes, writing, “Wow, I just heard Jolene. Beyoncé is giving this girl trouble and she deserves it!”

Kelly believes the pop star is totally missing the true power of the song.

“It’s a real power move to write a song about Jolene without even worrying about it. Jolene has no worries because her man loves her, is devoted to her and would never cheat on Jolene so that the most beautiful woman in the world could walk past her, she is good,” she continues, clearly not fully understanding who Jolene is in each songs.

“Queen Bey doesn’t get it,” Kelly said. “She has to act tough, which only telegraphs to those of us who point out that she’s not all that tough, so I object.”

Fans on Facebook were quick to defend the Houston native, laughing because Parton loves Beyoncé’s version.

“Everyone but the original artist has an issue with her version of ‘Jolene.’ If you do not like it, you are definitely giving it a whole lot of airtime. Which actually works for Beyonce,” one person wrote.

Another person said: “Beyonce has raised the bar at Country Western. Enjoy the magic of a black girl. Life is brief. charts. Focus on the more necessary things that folks actually care about. Fucking Queen Bey isn’t considered one of them.

“Beyoncé made country music bearable for me. Her album is so creative that she takes her craft very seriously and created her own song. “Surprised Megyn would knock down another strong woman like her, especially one so talented,” a 3rd comment read, while a fourth said: “Oh Megyn is mad at one other black person. Yawn.”

Someone cheekily reminded the Beyhive attack dogs to take the song and the Carter marriage into consideration when writing their remarks. Not taking Kelly’s side, the person asked, “Isn’t Jay Z cheating on her anyway? So he already had Jolene.

Some even compared her to other controversial celebrities, writing: “Megan Kelly is about on the same level as Candace Owen when it comes to her OPINIONS as she tries to tout!”

Kelly had some support.

“Beyonce trying to break into country music is as hopeless as Rihanna dressing up as a nun. The music is terrible and doesn’t even resemble the sound and feel of real country music. “Megan Kelly is right,” considered one of X’s users he wrote.

There is a marketplace for Kelly’s comments, especially on this topic. She was invited to Murray’s to show after talking about the singer on “The Megyn Kelly Show.”

“I’m not an enormous fan of Beyoncé. I even have nothing against her… I do not listen to her music,” she confessed, but added that she hates it when people act as if she was the return of Christ.

“But it type of annoys me that each time she does anything, now we have to pretend she’s the Second Coming. It’s like, oh my god, they literally call her “Queen Bey.” “I feel like he can do absolutely nothing wrong,” he says.

She also clashed with Vice President Kamala Harris and former first lady Michelle Obama for greeting the artist for the project’s successful launch.

“Jolene” was Dolly Parton’s second single to hit primary on the US country charts in 1973. Beyoncé’s rendition of “Jolene” debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 and is the first version of the song to ever enter the Billboard Top 10. According to to an American songwriter.

The original only reached number 60 on the Hot 100.

The success is in some ways similar to what she did with her Whitney Houston, who in the 80s and 90s, as big as Beyoncé is today redo from the series “I will always love you”.

Houston’s rendition of “I Will Always Love You” sold over 24 million copies worldwide, making it the best-selling single by a female artist and considered one of the best-selling singles overall. Additionally, it won the title of the best-selling single in the world in 1992.
