Not on the BeyHive\u2019s watch, mister! Beyonc\u00e9<\/strong> graced the Met Gala<\/strong> red carpet last night for the primary time in 10 years, appearing in a striking, custom Olivier Rousteing-designed sheer dress. The robe also featured a crystal-embellished skeleton outline, hugging the singer\u2019s body in all the precise places, while her massive, multicolored feather train sat effortlessly on the Met\u2019s steps. While a portion of Hollywood was waiting for the Queen\u2019s return to the mainstage, telling reporters that she was the person they were most excited to see, actor Paul Anthony Kelly had a unique response when asked concerning the mother of three\u2014one which\u2019s got the BeyHive in full defense mode.<\/p>\n Speaking with Variety on the red carpet, the publication mentioned to Kelly that Beyonc\u00e9, 44, was one among the Met Gala\u2019s co-chairs. \u201cYeah, wild,\u201d he said. \u201cSuper fun.\u201d<\/p>\n The reporter followed up with one other query, asking the Canadian actor what his favorite song by the 35-time Grammy Award-winning artist was, to which he offered an unexpected answer. <\/p>\n \t\t<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t know,\u201d he said with a touch of apathy. \u201cI\u2019m a metal head.\u201d <\/p>\n Anthony\u2019s ignorance of Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s extensive profession and big music catalog might go neglected by some, but not by the BeyHIve, who’re letting the \u201cAmerican Love Story\u201d performer have it online. <\/p>\n The response to Kelly\u2019s statement from Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s loyal fanbase is what you may expect. \u201cAnd similar to that, he\u2019s swiftly ugly as hell,\u201d someone wrote on X, formerly Twitter. <\/p>\n One other user called Kelly an \u201cconceited, basic white guy.\u201d They added, \u201cIt\u2019s one thing to not know her songs, which is tremendous, but the way in which he said it seems like he can\u2019t even be bothered to think for a minute.\u201d <\/p>\n Boastful, basic white guy attitude. It’s one thing to not know her songs which is tremendous but the way in which he said it seems like he cannot even be bothered to think for a minute.<\/p>\n \u2014 Carmen (@AthenaK11374912) May 5, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n More netizens chimed in on the conversation, and one even questioned Kelly\u2019s statement, saying there should be something greater at play for the actor to not know a single Beyonc\u00e9 song. <\/p>\n \u201cWhen people say they\u2019ve never heard a Beyonc\u00e9 or Michael Jackson song, I immediately know they either grew up in a cult or they\u2019re a January sixth groupie. Cause how do you not know the hook or chorus of ONE Beyonc\u00e9 song?\u201d <\/p>\n The backlash didn\u2019t end there. One other user said that Kelly\u2019s unfamiliarity with Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s discography would normally be neglected, but for the reason that \u201cLemonade\u201d singer was one among the event\u2019s co-chairs, they found his position a bit disrespectful. <\/p>\n \u201cBeyonc\u00e9 is co-chair. She\u2019s on his invitation. Irrespective of how he feels, he could\u2019ve prepared a solution,\u201d the poster shared<\/a>. \u201cMen don\u2019t prefer it after they\u2019re not the essential character\u2026 thats also why men don\u2019t recognise Beyonce as the best no matter her having achievered way greater than Michael Jackson. US metrics by nature are about quantity but this never applies to Beyonce because it could mean the best is not any longer a man- and Thats why this man behaved that why- misogyny.\u201d <\/p>\n One might assume Kelly would\u2019ve been prepped to reply questions on Beyonc\u00e9 at this yr\u2019s Met Gala, provided that her fans don\u2019t take what they perceive as disrespect calmly. <\/p>\n In response to a previous report from PEOPLE<\/a><\/em>, the BeyHive swarmed Rachel Roy\u2019s social media accounts after the discharge of the 2016 album, \u201cLemonade,\u201d wherein Beyonc\u00e9 sings about infidelity\u2014specifically \u201cBecky with the great hair.\u201d <\/p>\n \u201cI respect love, marriages, families and strength,\u201d Roy posted on X. \u201cWhat shouldn\u2019t be tolerated by anyone, irrespective of what, is bullying, of any kind.\u201d <\/p>\n As Beyonc\u00e9 made her way into the Met Gala last night, she stopped to talk with Vogue<\/a><\/em>, telling the esteemed publication that she was wearing a custom piece by longtime friend and designer Olivier Rousteing. \u201c\u2026 any individual who has been so loyal to me, and I\u2019ve done so many iconic looks with him,\u201d Beyonc\u00e9 said. <\/p>\n Continuing, the \u201cCowboy Carter\u201d performer called her return to fashion\u2019s biggest night \u201csurreal,\u201d mainly because she was there alongside her daughter, Blue Ivy Carter. \u201cI’m excited to experience it through her eyes,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nBeyonc\u00e9 Fans Are Riding For The Singer On X, Dragging Kelly Left And Right<\/h2>\n
