Beyoncé's mother Tina Knowles has staunchly defended the singer's controversial Christmas Day NFL halftime performance. The pop star, 43, entertained fans in her home state of Texas, where local side Houston Texans took on - and eventually lost to - Baltimore Ravens.
Beyoncé gave a 13-minute concert, singing an eight-song medley of tracks from her Cowboy Carter album complete with a plethora of dancers, horses and even an appearance from her 12-year-old daughter Blue Ivy. Christmas marked Beyoncé's first performance since her husband Jay-Z strenuously denied allegations leveled at him in a new lawsuit, which accused him and Sean 'Diddy' Combs of raping a 13-year-old girl at a party in 2000.
While Beyoncé garnered some negative social media reaction for her halftime appearance, professional critics hailed the show as a triumph, describing her efforts as 'breathtaking' and a 'masterful' showcase of her latest LP. However Tina has turned her attention to the online trolls, in an impassioned Instagram post telling her daughter's doubters that they 'look like a joke.'.
