“That Was Pure Torture”: Fans Clash Over Beyoncé’s Controversial NFL Christmas Halftime Show

Beyoncé sparked heated reactions after performing in Houston, Texas, USA at the National Football League (NFL) Christmas Gameday halftime show. Critics slammed her performance as “pure torture” while others praised her talent. The spectacle, featuring songs from her Cowboy Carter album, further drew attention for a controversial finger-gun gesture that clashed with NFL policies.

“Ummm… flags tucked into belt loops, upside down, touching the ground,” a netizen argued. “Horrible covers of amazing songs, a few signals. Far from a great performance.”

A viewer echoed: “No really it was not Christmasy at all and thought it was never gonna end. What was that.”

A commentator countered: “Happy for her. Fun show. Haters gonna hate while she laughs her way to the bank.”
