Beyonce’s mother, Tina Knowles, was a guest on a recent episode of The Jennifer Hudson Show. Besides her candid conversations with Hudson, one of the striking moments was the Spirit Tunnel segment. On February 24, 2025, a video was posted on Instagram and X in which Knowles was dancing and walking down to the stage as crew members sang along.
The video received mixed reactions from social media users, many of whom pointed out that Tina Knowles missed the beat while others complimented her. One X user, referring to Beyonce, asked:
“So her talent is from dad’s side?”
Netizens appeared fixated on Tina Knowles’ beat while others pointed out it was a long Spirit Tunnel.
“That was the longest spirit tunnel ever. It felt like she was going down the yellow brick road,” a social media user commented.
“Yall tried to sabotage Mama Tina’s walk through.. song was so chaotic.. there was no beat to catch,” a person pointed out.
“Catch the beat motherrrr,” a netizen reacted.
Many X users admired her looks, while a few of them noted that the song was confusing.
“Mother stays looking flawless,” an online commentator noted.
“song was so chaotic, there was literally no beat to catch...... But mama couldn't be stopped!!!!” a fan remarked.
“Effortlessly stunning as always,” an internet user complimented.
“The be the mom of Beyoncé is such a flex. My goodness,” a netizen expressed.
Spirit Tunnel is a fun backstage tradition that began from the start of the show. It involves two lines of people cheering, chanting, and dancing to energize the guests before they step onto the stage.
Tina Knowles at The Jennifer Hudson Show: Cecred’s fans, Beyonce’s Grammy and bonding with granddaughter
Tina Knowles serves as Beyonce’s Cecred hair-care brand. Speaking to Hudson, she said she used to own a hair salon and would always be a hairstylist. She said she was proud of how the fans have supported the brand, even though it didn’t have a huge marketing budget.
Tina Knowles said she was shocked at Beyonce’s 2025 Grammy win. Speaking of her daughter’s reaction at the ceremony, Knowles said:
“When she did this, I said, ‘Oh, it’s real.’ I couldn’t believe her. I couldn’t believe it because it’s been so many times that I thought that that would happen and it didn’t.”
Knowles talked about her granddaughter Blue Ivy Carter, saying she is bossy, just like her grandma. When Hudson asked whether Blue would follow in her mother’s footsteps, Knowles said she was unsure as Blue is a “jack of all trades.”
Given Blue’s age, 13, Knowles said she could do a lot of things. Tina Knowles also expressed her pride in her other daughter, Solange Knowles, as she said:

“Solange is such, you know, she is really an artist and I am proud of Kelly too. I have to bring it up, other baby.”
Jennifer Hudson asked what advice she gave Blue, and Knowles replied that she didn’t, as Beyonce had the job covered. She reflected that the mother-daughter duo had a tight bond, so she would be asked to mind her business.
