- During this year’s CMT Music Awards country music star Kelsea Ballerini performed her song “If You Go Down (I’m Goin’ Down Too)” with drag queens surrounding her.
- Country music singer John Rich took a swipe at the state of the CMT awards on his social media.
- “No need to comment on the country music industry at this point, I’m just glad they’re finally showing all you fans what they are REALLY all about,” he wrote on Twitter.
- Rich told the “Just the News, No Noise” TV show that the July 2022 release of his hit “Progress” cost him relationships in the country music industry.
- “I don’t have the backing of the country music industry really much anymore,” he said also. “And that’s OK. I would rather have my freedom of speech than their approval any day of the week.”
- Another country star who spoke out against woke culture was Travis Tritt, who announced he would no longer work with Anheuser-Busch, the company that brews Budweiser and Bud Light after it was revealed they had a paid partnership with TikTok transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney.
