The halftime show at NRG Stadium saw Beyoncé, 43, think she could pull off the country look by simply throwing on some Western gear. But let's be real, folks, you can't just slap on a hat and call yourself a country star. Her performance was nothing more than a pop star's desperate attempt at rebranding, and it showed.
The controversy peaked when she made a finger-gun gesture, something the NFL has clearly banned. Viewers took to X, formerly Twitter, to vent their frustration.
"Where's the flag for Beyoncé's finger guns?" one fan demanded, while another mocked, "Still not sold on Beyoncé as a country artist."
Still seems like a pop star that just threw a cowboy hat on. It’s also hilarious that the league has been fining players left and right for finger guns and she’s throwing them around like it’s her job."
Her husband, Jay-Z, with thick ties to the NFL, should've known better. But no, they let this mockery of country music slide, even as players get slapped with penalties for the same gesture. It's the height of hypocrisy.
Beyoncé, stick to what you know, because this cowboy act is as fake as a three-dollar bill.
