Did you know that—long after Destiny’s Child disbanded—Kelly Rowland and Beyoncé are still good friends?
In February 2016, Kelly shared her thoughts on Beyoncé’s controversial Super Bowl halftime performance at Delta Air’s Grammy Weekend Celebration, a performance that sparked debate and backlash among some viewers.

Kelly spoke highly of Beyoncé’s performance. She focused on the presentation itself and smartly dodged the whole racial controversy. She praised her former Destiny’s Child bandmate’s halftime show, calling it “awesome” and describing the performance as “absolute perfection.”
Beyoncé debuted her new single, “Formation,” during the event, which drew criticism from some, including former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani, who accused her of using the platform to “attack” police officers.
“I thought everybody’s interaction on stage was absolute perfection,” she said. “[Beyoncé] was absolutely amazing.”
“I think that we live in a country where you have the freedom to say how you feel and talk,” Rowland told Us Weekly. “And it’s really from a peaceful place. I think that they’re blowing it out of proportion.”
The then-35-year-old singer also spoke about her then-one-year-old son Titan and what it’s like to be a new mother.
