Lainey Wilson accused of copying Beyonces…
The Beyhive is stinging Lainey Wilson.
The nation star, 33, has been accused of copying Beyoncé’s iconic 2024 Christmas Day NFL halftime show efficiency.
Wilson carried out during this 12 months’s Dec. 25 sport between the Detroit Lions and the Minnesota Vikings, alongside Snoop Dogg, Okay-Pop group HUNTR/X, and opera singers Andrea Boccelli and Matteo Boccelli.

Wilson wore an all-white ensemble and rode in on a huge sleigh before she sang a rendition of “Santa Clause Is Coming to Town.”
Her efficiency immediately drew comparisons to Beyoncé’s show last 12 months. The “Halo” singer, 44, equally wore all white and entered the stadium on a white horse during the sport between the Houston Texans and the Baltimore Ravens. She introduced out daughter Blue Ivy, 13, during her efficiency.
When Netflix shared footage from Wilson’s efficiency on Instagram, followers flooded the feedback part with memes of Beyoncé and accusatory feedback.

The Post has reached out to Wilson’s rep for remark.
Wilson beforehand spoke extremely of Beyoncé when addressing the “Cowboy Carter” artist’s crossover into nation music.
“I love it. The more the merrier,” Wilson told “Extra” at the 2024 People’s Choice Awards. “I’m like, again, it’s about that storytelling. It’s just about making people feel at home… and everybody wants to feel at home.”

When the reporter famous that Beyoncé’s caught “a bit of backlash” for coming into nation music, Wilson replied, “Hey, you know what? Everybody is going have something to say about everything. I bet you wouldn’t say it to her face. I love Beyoncé.”
Earlier this 12 months, Wilson defended Beyoncé again when she was requested if it was “frustrating” that she misplaced the Best Country Album award at the Grammys to Bey.
“Not for me at all,” Wilson, who received the award in 2024, said in the March 2025 interview. “Just because, at the end of the day, when I first started doing this and dreaming about doing this, I never in a million years was thinking, like, I’m doing this just for the awards. You know, just to have the shiny stuff up on the shelf. I’m doing this to play shows and put butts in seats and make people feel something.”

“So I got an opportunity to meet [Beyoncé] at the Grammys, and I walked up to her like seven-foot tall security guy and I’m like, ‘Can I meet her?’” Wilson recalled. “We both share a deep appreciation for what each other does and I think that she’s introduced a lot of people to the country genre that maybe ever even knew that they liked it, and country’s on fire right now.”
