Nothing to be afraid of.
That’s been the message from John Wealthy the previous couple of days after it was introduced that Carrie Underwood can be acting at incoming President Donald Trump’s inauguration subsequent Monday.
Carrie acquired loads of criticism from the left after it was revealed that she can be singing “America the Lovely” through the swearing-in of the forty seventh President of america. She’s at all times stayed out of politics for probably the most half (and has by no means even publicly introduced who she supported or voted for within the 2024 election), though there have been indicators previously that she leans proper.
So after all some folks weren’t completely satisfied that Carrie was selecting to carry out on the inauguration, even vowing to boycott American Idol and demanding the present take away her as a choose.
However John Wealthy needs to see extra artists observe in her footsteps.
One half of Large & Wealthy, it’s probably not any secret which manner John leans politically. Together with Hank Williams Jr., Jason Aldean, Travis Tritt, Child Rock, Brian Kelley (previously of Florida Georgia Line) and Lee Greenwood, he’s one of many few outspoken conservatives in nation music, and one of many few who hasn’t been afraid to publicly assist President Donald Trump.
Evaluate that to the listing of nation artists who publicly assist Democrats, artists like Willie Nelson, Tim McGraw, Garth Brooks, Jason Isbell, Tyler Childers, Maren Morris, Kacey Musgraves, Brothers Osborne, Brad Paisley, Tyler Hubbard (the opposite half of Florida Georgia Line), The Chicks, Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland…it’s fairly clear the stereotype of nation music being stuffed with chest-thumping Trump supporters doesn’t actually maintain up, not less than not publicly.
And John Wealthy is prepared for Trump supporters to start out talking up just like the Democrats in nation music do.
In a submit on Twitter earlier this week, Wealthy referred to as out “high tier nation artists” who assist Trump behind the scenes however are afraid to talk out publicly:
“There are a number of high tier nation artists who assist Trump, and I want they’d lastly have the balls to return ahead and be counted. Ain’t nothing outlaw about protecting your mouth shut to appease the file label. Carrie Underwood is making you seem like a bunch of sissy boys.”

And yesterday, he posted a video doubling down, praising artists like Garth Brooks, who carried out at President Joe Biden’s inauguration, and Brad Paisley, who appeared with First Woman Jill Biden in Nashville for an occasion pushing the COVID vaccine, for not less than standing by their convictions, even when Wealthy doesn’t agree with them:
Hey, huge time Conservative nation artists…it is time to develop a pair. Quantity UP👇 @BradPaisley @garthbrooks pic.twitter.com/UMizZwSM9v

Preach it.
Nicely Wealthy has discovered assist from one among his fellow nation artists, with Travis Tritt becoming a member of his name to different artists to talk out and publicly assist Trump:
“I’m so glad to listen to somebody lastly discuss this! In case you are a Trump supporter in our business, you don’t have anything to concern however concern itself. Don’t be afraid to talk up for what you consider in.”

Yesterday, it was introduced that Parker McCollum can be acting at Trump’s inaugural ball, together with Rascal Flatts, so it looks like there are a number of artists who aren’t afraid to face by their political opinions.
As for the others, what are they anxious about? Their label dropping them? In the event that they’re earning money for his or her label, fairly positive no person goes to care. It’s all in regards to the greenback anyway.
Their followers leaving? As Wealthy identified, I’m fairly positive Aldean didn’t lose any followers when he began talking out – and actually, he in all probability gained fairly a number of.
Now that some newer artists like Parker, in addition to established stars like Carrie Underwood, aren’t afraid to publicly assist Trump, possibly some extra will lastly come ahead.
Looks as if John Wealthy and Travis Tritt would welcome them with open arms.
