Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy bashed Beyonce’s Christmas Day performance on Wednesday as the pop star performed at halftime of the Texans-Ravens game.
The ‘Texas Hold ‘Em’ singer rode in on a horse in her first performance since October 2023 – but Portnoy – famously a huge Taylor Swift fan – didn’t like what he saw.
‘Beyoncé has been LOST since Destinys Child,’ he wrote on X, mentioning the pop group she used to be a part of with Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams.
Beyonce left the group in 2006 as she went on to carve out a massive career as a solo artist.
Portnoy was not the only one to dislike the singer’s display, as several fans took to X to express their disapproval.
‘I genuinely find Beyoncé f*****g awful and fail to understand how anyone else sees it any other way,’ one said.

‘Y’all might not agree, but Taylor Swift and Beyoncé make bad music,’ another chimed in, insulting one of Portnoy’s favorites in the process.
‘That Beyoncé performance was trash,’ another added.
However, plenty others sung the praises of the 32-time Grammy winner.,
‘Honestly can’t get enough of you,’ Serena Williams wrote, tagging the singer.
‘Beyonce killed it!,’ former NBA player Kendrick Perkins and current ESPN analyst said.
And the official NFL account deemed it the ‘best Christmas ever.’
The show also marked the first time Beyonce performed songs from her latest album, Cowboy Carter, live.
Beyonce, who has performed at two Super Bowls in her career, had several ‘special guests’ from her Cowboy Carter album join her on stage as previously revealed by Netflix.
The singer brought out the likes of Shaboozey and Post Malone for the performance.
