"Beyoncé's 'Jolene' Cover Sparks Controversy and Criticism"

Megyn Kelly criticized Beyoncé's version of Dolly Parton's "Jolene," stating that it misses the mark on empowerment by changing the original vulnerable narrative to one of aggression and threats. Kelly expressed concern about the modern definition of a strong woman and the pressure to embody a tough, emotionless persona, arguing that vulnerability and softness should not be seen as non-feminine. She disagreed with Beyoncé's portrayal of empowerment and suggested that the new version of the song conveys an entirely different message.
