Oh, absolutely, 100%. And we've been covering this sort of split that's taking place within country music, and it's been happening over the last few years with Kacey Musgraves and Maren Morris. They're extremely pro-LGBTQ. Kacey Musgraves has music videos online where she has drag queens running around behind the scenes talking about pride and how love is love.

Maren Morris very famously endorsed trans children and transitioning kids and says that we need to protect trans kids, which we all know don't exist. but that created a major rift within country music where a lot of people, artists, were dividing over this and their support of Donald Trump and whether or not that makes them homophobic.

I have to point out, though, the sense of entitlement that fans have. The most you know about Carrie Underwood is her music and what she looks like, and you think you have some sense of entitlement over her opinion, her political affiliation, and if she doesn't abide by or toe the line of your ideology, you're no longer going to listen to music that you once enjoyed.

These are just people robbing themselves of good experiences, of good music, and they can't recognize that there is a divide between you and the artist. You might feel like you have this social relationship with them, but it's a parasocial one, and you're not entitled to their opinion.

Yeah, you know what? I don't know how much a hug accomplishes in this time. I hope they're doing actual work where they're actually bringing, you know, donations, resources, things that people actually need in the wake of these fires to them. If they're doing that, you know, kudos to you.

I have a feeling they knew there were going to be some cameras present and we're seeing a lot of celebrities, some of whom were not directly impacted, showing up to, you know, give a hug here and a slap on the back there. I hope they're actually doing something rather than showing up for their photo op.

Yes, absolutely. I actually called beforehand and I said, you know what, if there's not at least 10 cameras there, just send me on another day. Let me know when to really be there.
