BREAKING : Beyoncé Christmas Halftime Show Rejected by NFL: ‘She’s Not a Good…
In a move that has baffled fans and ignited a firestorm of criticism, the NFL has reportedly blocked Beyoncé from performing at their highly anticipated Christmas Day halftime show, citing the shocking reason that “she’s not a good artist.”
The announcement, leaked through an anonymous source at league headquarters, has left the Beyhive buzzing with fury and the public questioning if the NFL even knows who Beyoncé is.
The decision to sideline the most Grammy-nominated artist in history—whose latest album, Cowboy Carter, is already a cultural phenomenon—has sparked outrage, memes, and more than a few sarcastic calls for the NFL to “reconsider their playlist.”
The NFL has yet to release an official statement, but sources claim the decision was based on Beyoncé’s “performance style” and its perceived incompatibility with the league’s “family-oriented” programming. “Her artistry is undeniable,” one insider admitted, “but her brand doesn’t align with the NFL’s vision for Christmas entertainment.”
Critics quickly pointed out the absurdity of the claim, noting that Beyoncé’s previous halftime performances—widely regarded as among the best in Super Bowl history—drew record viewership and rave reviews. “If Beyoncé isn’t good enough for the NFL,” tweeted one commentator, “who is? The Wiggles?”
The backlash was swift. Beyoncé’s fans, affectionately known as the Beyhive, flooded social media with their signature bee emojis and pointed critiques of the league’s decision-making.
“She’s not a good artist?! She’s literally Beyoncé!” one user wrote. “This is like saying Michael Jordan wasn’t good at basketball.”
High-profile celebrities also weighed in. “Let me get this straight,” tweeted Lizzo. “The NFL thinks Beyoncé isn’t good enough? This is why I stick to basketball halftime shows.”
Even Beyoncé’s husband, Jay-Z, known for keeping his cool, reportedly texted NFL executives a simple but cutting message: “Your loss.”
As always, Beyoncé maintained her signature grace under fire. In a statement released through her publicist, the singer refrained from directly addressing the NFL’s claims but expressed gratitude to her fans for their support.Ezoic
