After her Super Bowl Halftime Show performance, SZA shared a powerful message on Instagram. The post centered on Beyonce’s commitment to Country music, despite the criticism and negativity she faced.
Full story below…
The message, which SZA reposted on her story, highlighted Beyonce’s historic achievement as the second Black female artist to win Best Country Album of the Year at the GRAMMYs.
The post pointed out that if Beyonce had spent her time defending her right to sing country music, she wouldn’t have had the time to focus on her work and create the kind of culture-shifting music that has made her an icon.
“If Beyonce spent time in the comments defending her right to sing country, or any other, music she would have never became Beyonce.
As Toni Morrison said, “The very serious function of racism is distraction. It keeps you from doing your work. It keeps you explaining, over and over again, your reason for being.”
After the CMA’s Beyonce didn’t spend her time online in the comments. She got to work. Now, she has made history as the first Black person to win Country Album of the Year.Never forget, when excellence steps into the room mediocrity gets paranoid. Focus and keep going!”
SZA’s reposted message serves as a reminder of the importance of staying focused, even in the face of adversity with Queen Bey as an example.


Judging from last night Halftime appearance, this gal should surrender her Grammys and work at Wendy’s!!!!

HMH&S was a good album but stans overrated it, only 5 out of 10 songs were Great. Not AOY material. Half of that album was non stop WHISPERING. 🤣

The worst!
She butchered her career in less 10 seconds last night 😂😂😂😂😂
“Superbowl halftime show viewership declined 6.2% this year with a viewership of 113 million in 2025, compared to 120 million in 2024”- Forbes.com
Hmmm….not too bad actually imo. I expected lesser tbh.
For a woke hip hop artist like Kendrick is, those are amazing numbers. Especially given the fact he barely performed any hits of his and focused more on prepping his fans for his new WORLD tour.
King Kendrick all day, every day 🙌
The worst
Hollyweird is doomed.
The worst of all
