The Chicks (formerly the Dixie Chicks) didn’t tank their career for that kind of slander.

Real Country singers couldn't be more opposite to MAGA. I mean, could you ever imagine Cash simping for this lot?

Real country died out a long time ago at least in the mainstream.

Willie Nelson?

[–] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 11 months ago

Failed pop stars turned country is MAGA.

Do you think country music artists are mostly conservative?

[–] ShepherdPie@midwest.social 15 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I think they'll portray themselves as conservatives whether they are or aren't. Mainstream artists typically have corporate-crafted personas that they have to stick to in order to stay relevant for their target demographic.

[–] NineMileTower@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

I think you are right. I also think a lot of traits that country music stars portray are seen as conservative type traits.

Cowboy hat and boots, dirt road, cold beer and so forth.

Makes me think of Bo Burnham's wonderful Pandering song.
