Gabby Barrett, the famed “American Idol” alum, has become the center of controversy yet again. This time, the backlash is directed towards the 23-year-old singer’s comments on her faith and marriage. According to results from several files, fans and critics alike have been making sweeping claims that her career is tanking due to her outspokenness on these topics.
However, Barrett herself is clapping back at the haters. Taking to her Instagram, the singer posted a clip from her appearance on the podcast “Unexpected with Hanna Love”, where she made it clear that she treasures her marriage and her relationship with the Lord above all else. She went on to address the criticism she’s been receiving, stating that “tons of people” have been reaching out to her, commenting or texting about how she’s “ruining her career by talking about these things”.
Despite the backlash, Barrett seems unwavering in her devotion to her beliefs. It’s not the first time the young singer has faced criticism for her faith and personal life – in fact, the controversy surrounding her marriage to fellow country singer Cade Foehner caused quite a stir when the two tied the knot in 2019. However, it seems that Barrett is more than willing to stand her ground.
It’s worth noting that the backlash hasn’t seemed to have affected Barrett’s career thus far. She’s had several big hits since her time on “American Idol”, including the smash single “I Hope” which spent months on the charts and even earned her a CMA nomination. However, it’s clear that the criticisms still sting.
In the face of all the negativity, it’s clear that Barrett isn’t backing down. Whether her devout beliefs will impact her career in the long run remains to be seen, but for now, it seems that the young singer is more than willing to take on whatever comes her way.
Love her or hate her, it’s hard to deny that Gabby Barrett is a force to be reckoned with in the world of country music – and it doesn’t look like that’s going to change anytime soon.
