‘Country Music Is Dead’ Trends After Kelsea Ballerini’s CMT Awards Performance Goes Terribly Wrong

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.

“Tractor Pop”.

JUST ONE JUDD-—Only Winona

[griswold3]

Very few real country artists left. Travis Tritt was just in town. Yay! I listen to a lot of southern rock. Kid Rock, Tim Montana, Cody Marks,

[nickcarraway]

I thought they were dead.

When Kelsey Ballerini is the face of country music....I have nothing left but too feel that my time on this earth has overextended it’s welcome

[silent majority rising]

The infiltration and destruction of this Republic by the new order have ‘hijacked’ country music and made it useless with the ‘raising up’ of the morally corrupt lunatics of the trans movement. This is by design - destroy every bedrock group in America and steal the children and de-womanize women.

Have you checked out Junior Brown, excellent performer and sure doesn’t take himself seriously.

[roving]

I enjoy country up the 80’s

[No name given]

It’s been dead for years!

[nickcarraway]

I don’t think they know what a fiddle is anymore.

[cherry]

why would anybody tune it to that?...for several yrs now its been leftist crap....

[griffin]

Any performers get up and walk out?

[griffin]

yup.

Then there was the dixie chuncks

[Howie66]

Yeah. A pedal “tractor” perhaps.

[griffin]

yes

[Right Brother]

Totally agree. Garth brooks could not make it in rock so he turned into a country boy. All crap.

[Uncle Lonny]

A true country song,: “Murder on Music Row” from many years back laments how country music had changed even back then.

I’ve been saying it’s hip hop with some twang. Although John rich and Tom McDonald do make a pretty decent country/hip Hop song

[JZelle]

This makes me miss bad rock with a fiddle.

And some good old Charlie Daniels
