Country star Kenny Chesney may have the #1 album in the U.S. right now, but for the last three days he’s also been #1 on another tally: the Beyhive hitlist.
Indeed, during Beyonce‘s controversy inciting performance with the Dixie Chicks at this year’s CMAs the camera panned to Chesney in the audience who seemed visibly uncomfortable. The look of displeasure on his face during the ‘Daddy Lessons’ showing not only became the subject of many-a-meme, but also the catalyst for a brutal Twitter attack filled with death threats, attacks on his sexuality, personal life, and so much more.
Once the onslaught of insults reached a feverish pitch, Chesney took to social media to offer an official statement. Read it below:
In a statement released Friday, Chesney made it clear: “I love Beyonce… I loved her Super Bowl performance, her sense of how to make the music hit really hard – and give it drama when she’s onstage.”
Chesney added that her fans shouldn’t be so quick to judge him or assume to know what he was thinking.
His statement follows that of lead Dixie Chick Natalie Maines when she defended Bey:
The beyonce impact !!!at this point its very clear to say that no one messes with beyonce or the beyhive
The hive is the most embarrassing group of dumb asses I’ve ever seen. I hate being a member when they pull ignorant BS like this… death threats, really?
A bunch of gay MCDONALDS workers with no lives and mean spirited. HOWEVER, Kenny CHESNEY is a gay and did he forgot THE WHITE GAYS LOVE BEYONCE TOO, they love a good t*****
It looked as if he was admiring her beauty. Beyonce stans be tripping….
He looked mesmirized to me…
He was checking out her dress
Damn the hive really are some bees they sting whoever comes for the King! Hahaa its real
Damn!! The Hive have this man shook ???. A very loyal fandom.
The beybive is off their meds!
Well damn, he was so shook that me made a statement to the Associated Press, lmao!
I admire Beyoncé and have a tremendous amount of respect for her, but her fans are damn ridiculous at times. They are damn near a terrorist group
Did they expect him to bounce around screaming YASSsss? Dumb pest.
Guess he’s not as GAY as you are.
They want her to host next year, even after all that controversy? Why does this woman slay so damn hard? It’s like the CMA’s are giving the country music fans the middle finger by wanting her to host next year.
Clearly a reach they know Beyoncé will not host no Damn cmas
They’re just trying to save face
They claimed they deleted the performance bc her team didn’t approve it
If she performed on the show why would she not approve her performance to be on the website ?
The Legendary and ICONIC Hive strikes again! Idky people act like the BeyHive are the only stan base that ever made death threats lol! I mean the Slavi on this site have gone as far as Bully an innocent child (Bkue), post people’s personal information and bully people based off their selfie (BeyHive can’t relate). But I guess the BeyHive is the worse fandom.
I don’t know how they can find this behavior funny or acceptable, they celebrate this kind of stuff, when in reality everybody is making fun of them, they just don’t get it.
You’re a racist tho.
But racism is acceptable to you? BITçh bye!!
Wow this is crazy. I now just retweet all that mess to be the 911 Twitter page. Even if I like Beyonce, everyone does not like her and everyone will not like her. Get over it. Little do they know Beyonce wouldn’t dare be supportive of people sending death threatss. Let one of them actually get caught and see if. Bey would come to their rescue lol. What goes around comes around.
Lying is a sin! You don’t even like Beyonce. Go to hell.
Its obvious that the beyhive is mentally retarded and need to admitted.. quickly
Personally, I love BOTH Beyonce and The Dixie Chicks. Here at my female-owned, female operated independent clothing label, we celebrate powerful, outspoken, s*** women of any background, age, or orientation. Now we must “get in Formation” and rally together as Women to decide exactly which direction we want our country to go. Even if you don’t vote for Trump or Hillary, GO VOTE FOR SOMEONE!! and wear our exclusive Jinkyz Brand Satirical Presidential Campaign TShirts TO THE BOOTH!

His facial expression was hilarious he clearly wasnt entertained. What a bunch of losers the beyhive harrass anyone who isnt delusional like them.
It’s funny how all articles that include Beyoncé on this website get the most comments… Why do the girls be so mad tho??? Lol
Beyonce is wearing the hell out of that dress in that performance
It just looked like he was in awe of her beauty. Y’all gotta chill with this stupidity. She was looking badddddd in that dress. She’s a beautiful woman…. He only released a statement because her fans were all over his ig page..
People must hate Beyonce ‘for whatever reason
