Megyn Kelly didn’t hold back in her recent commentary, absolutely ripping into Justin Bieber after he associated himself with anti-ICE messaging at the 2026 Grammy Awards. Kelly shared her pointed video clip on X via The Megyn Kelly Show’s verified account on February 4, 2026, questioning Bieber’s fitness to comment on policy matters.
According to Sportskeeda, the media host didn’t just disagree with his politics; she launched a major personal attack, comparing him to another star. Kelly said, “Justin Bieber is kind of like a Britney Spears figure to me, he’s like kind of gone. He became too big a star and too rich at too early an age and is now six months away from a conservatorship, who now wants to lecture us about immigration policy.”
Kelly didn’t stop there. She also labeled the musician “one of the dumbest people in public life.” While she made sure to add that she wouldn’t dispute his musical talent, stating that he “sings well,” the rest of her critique was focused squarely on his credibility and even his fashion sense, describing his clothing as consisting of a sweatshirt worn “from head to toe.”
That’s more of a ramble than an opinion
Kelly’s fiery segment is interesting because it singles out Bieber, who didn’t even make a speech, from the large range of artists and celebrities who were protesting the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency. As a collective, stars including Bieber, Billie Eilish, Kehlani, and others, wore “ICE OUT” pind to show solidarity with continuing public concern over the agency’s enforcement efforts.
Several musicians even amplified the message during the broadcast itself. Bad Bunny, the Puerto Rican singer, started his acceptance speech for Best Música Urbana Album with a strong statement, saying, “Before I say thanks to God, I’m going to say: ICE out.” Billie Eilish, who scooped up the Song of the Year award with her brother Finneas, also referenced the issue, saying, “No one is illegal on stolen land.”
Other artists also used the platform to emphasize their solidarity with immigrants and voice disagreement with enforcement practices. Olivia Dean, winner of the Best New Artist award, spoke about her experience as the granddaughter of immigrants. Kehlani (Best R&B Performance) spoke about the power of solidarity against perceived injustices. Together, they turned the Grammys into a major platform for advocacy.
Kelly is no stranger to making personal attacks or developing concerning opinions. It is clear that she has picked a target to fit a narrative, and honestly, it feels like a poor attempt to find a way to be relevant. In which case, she should have aimed at someone who said something.
