‘Country Music Is Dead’ Trends After Kelsea Ballerini’s CMT Awards Performance Goes Terribly Wrong
RNN ^ | 04-04-2023 | Peter Partoll

Despite the immoral rot that has set into our society, there was one area of popular culture that was long considered a relative haven for conservatives.

Country music, with much of its emphasis on God, family and hard work, has been seen as a safe harbor amid the explicit wickedness that now dominates most of American entertainment.

Unfortunately, the CMT Music Awards on Sunday night suggest those days might be over.

Singer Kelsea Ballerini’s performance of “If You Go Down (I’m Goin’ Down Too)” featured drag queens as backup dancers amid LGBT “pride” rainbow lights.

This was apparently a protest against a new Tennessee law that bans transgender surgeries for minors and puts restrictions on adult-oriented drag shows to prevent children from being exposed to them.

I quit listening to country music with the group Alabama retired. I felt 25 years ago that CM was going down the toilet.

been saying that for years. There are a few artists that I like in new country, For instance Dillon Carmichael, Jackson Dean and some others by individual song, but by and large, its urban R&B or easy listening with a down home accent.

IMHO, country music ended in the 1980s...
Age or death caught up with the real country singers...

Who advised CMT and Kelsea Ballerini that gun control and drag queens were great topics to throw their support behind? Natalie Maines.
Oh, I watched and thought the show was stupid, the performances horrible. Going to rename the show, “The Night CW died.

My taste in music is comparable to my taste in movies, viz. old. I eschew this politically correct, social justice, liberal crap.

(However, I did buy "Top Gun, Maverick." So, there's that.)

If Chris LeDoux was still around, he would have taken a lariat to the stage and dragged the trash from the stage.

Country Music still lives in the country and on the highway but it’s been dead in the city for a long time. Rap, Woke and the electric Cowpoke killed it deader than dead.

While Jeff passed last year, Randy and Teddy are still playing. Going on tour later this month.

What is passed off as “Country Music” these days is pure crap. Most of it sounds like Rap Lite and that ain’t Country!
