You saw this shift happening when Taylor Swift continued to be honored in country music despite not making country music anymore.
They were desperate to pull that demographic in.
Why do you think talent shows started getting guys like Luke Bryan and Blake Shelton?
They don’t care about their perspective. They care about their following and know if they can bring that audience to the mainstream, they can brainwash them.
I’ll also add that they want to popularize country music with mainstream audiences so they can force them into conforming with the SJW beliefs.
How many companies, celebrities, politicians do you see having their brands killed by the SJW movement?
Comply or die, is the threat. Most of these country stars don’t believe this bullshit but they know their careers will be defunct if they don’t go along with it.
Heh, heh, I’ll turn 70 later this year. All I know about Taylor Swift is that she is the latest in a string of `pop tarts’ going back to Britney Spears whose claim to fame is found in the tabloid scandal sheets.
I have also liked video parody since the early days of Weird Al, and there are several LOL parodies of Taylor Swift by Smosh and Bart Baker. Didn’t even know she was into country music.
Anyway, someone wrote that bluegrass is the only remaining true country music. I totally agree & love the message of Christian faith found in much of bluegrass music.
