Yeah, I mean, I'm not surprised by this whatsoever. If you have any sort of association with Donald Trump, even if that's just singing at the inauguration, you're going to be cut off by every single left-leaning person who used to be a fan of yours. But really, are we surprised? I mean, just look at Carrie Underwood. Have you guys seen the CMAs? Do you know what's going on in country music?
It's pretty typical, I would think. that these people would either be supporters of Donald Trump or love their country so much that they're willing to represent it at the inauguration. And that's exactly what Carrie Underwood has taxed herself with. And let's be real, she hasn't come out and given any statement about her politics or how she feels about the 2024 election.

So let her be her and let her love this country. We used to be under the umbrella of a shared love for country, but differences in politics. And now it's if you love your country, if you wanna represent America, You're a white supremacist MAGA supporter.

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.
