We don't dip our toes into country music very often. The last was probably 2023, when Jason Aldean came out with his song, "Try That in a Small Town," in which he called out left-wing violence, specifically violence against law enforcement. Progressives didn't care for it and implied it supported lynching. CMT even pulled the "controversial" music video, which was filmed in front of a courthouse in Tennessee where an African-American man named Henry Choate was lynched in 1927.
Now we have another small controversy brewing in Nashville. Country singer Zach Bryan has released a new song called "Bad News," with the lyrics, "And ICE is gonna come, bust down your door; The fading of the red, white, and blue."

Country star John Rich says there are plenty of people like Bryan in Nashville.
Nashville is full of guys like this👇 https://t.co/G1os6xfL3S

Zach Bryan has every right to record a song bashing law enforcement, and fans have every right to keep supporting his career, or not. Capitalism isn't cancellation. Who knows, maybe there's a large "anti law enforcement" wing of the country music fanbase. We'll soon find out.

We haven't checked … is there a "controversial" music video that's going to get pulled from rotation?
Zach Bryan just Bud Lite’d himself.

Oh, they're still around, but they go by "The Chicks" these days after being told "Dixie" was racist.
Former country singer.

I wish I had supported him so I could stop now.

The large anti law enforcement wing of the country fan base is the untapped resource he’s digging for. It’s a bold strategy, Cotton 😂😂😂

Sad that Zach Bryan wants to be mainstream so much he would suck the brass off a doorknob.

Memphis & Nashville are just more blue cities, defiling a red state

Unfortunately the Marxist programming goes deep, far deeper than we expected.

Absolutely. We don't know if this will necessarily end his career, but from the comments, it sounds like his Spotify streams are going to start dropping like Bud Light stock.
