Dave Portnoy trashes Beyoncé’s NFL Christmas halftime show

Outspoken Taylor Swift fan Dave Portnoy has nothing nice to say about another pop star: Beyoncé.

The Barstool Sports founder shared that he was unimpressed after the “Single Ladies” singer headlined the halftime show at the Baltimore Ravens vs. Houston Texans game on Christmas Day.

“Beyoncé has been LOST since Destinys Child,” Portnoy, 47, wrote on X on Wednesday, referring to Queen Bey’s former girl group with Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, which disbanded in 2006.

Portnoy’s sharp reaction came just moments after Beyoncé, 43, wrapped up her glittering performance at NRG Stadium in her hometown of Houston.

She made her entrance by riding in on horseback, then jumped on stage in a crystal-embellished white bodysuit and chaps paired with a cowboy hat.

The Grammy winner performed several hits from her country album “Cowboy Carter,” which she released in March, including “16 Carriages,” “Ya Ya” and “Jolene.”

She also sang a cover of the Beatles song “Blackbird” accompanied by country singers Tanner Adell, Brittany Spencer, Tiera Kennedy and Reyna Roberts.

Shaboozey then made a cameo appearance as Beyoncé performed her song “Sweet Honey Buckiin'” before she and Post Malone sang their duet “Levii’s Jeans.”

She ended her 13-minute sequence with her hit “Texas Hold ‘Em,” which featured her and Jay-Z’s 12-year-old daughter Blue Ivy Carter as one of her backup dancers.

Although Beyoncé pulled out all the stops and brought along some top-notch talent to accompany her, Portnoy clearly rejected her.

This isn’t the first time the podcaster has opened up about the “Cuff It” artist’s talent.

During last year’s Super Bowl between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs, Rihanna headlined Apple Music’s halftime show.

Portnoy took the opportunity to express his preference for the 36-year-old “Diamonds” singer over Beyoncé at the time, writing on X in February 2023: “Rihanna > Beyoncé. Not particularly close.”

Maybe his loyalty to Swift, 35, has something to do with his opinion of Beyoncé.

The music industry has often pitted superstars against each other, with Billboard recently ranking Beyoncé as the No. 1 biggest pop star of the 21st century and Swift at No. 2.

However, Page Six reported that the “Shake It Off” singer was happy for the “Crazy in Love” actress. A source told us: “Taylor will always support strong female artists and feels Beyoncé truly deserves this honor.”

Kanye West has also been vocal about the debate between Beyoncé and Swift, storming the stage during the latter’s acceptance speech at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards to argue that the former deserved to win.
