    WATCH: Country Star Goes With with CMT Award Show Performance, Pushes Gun Control on Crowd

    The annual Country Music Television (CMT) Awards show Sunday night infuriated many, as it was hosted in part by 29-year-old singer Kelsea Ballerini, a woke radical who made the show all about leftist politics. Ballerini, during the awards show, performed on stage alongside drag queens in an apparent rebuke of Tennessee’s GOP-backed legislation, which makes it a crime to perform lewd shows like that in front of kids. That legislation has since been stopped by a federal judge.

    Posting about the sick performance on Twitter, she said, “If you go down, i’m going down too 🏳️‍🌈 // thank you to these iconic queens and @manilaluzon @kennedyddoftx @janjanjan@TheOliviaLux and @CMT for celebrating love, self expression, and performance.”

    She also pushed gun control measures while invoking the recent school shooting in Nashville, Tennessee, perpetrated by a transgender person who appears to have targeted and killed Christians for being Christian. That came when she spoke on the horrible shooting and made sure to attack “gun violence” but didn’t once not that it was a trans person who murdered the kids and teachers. Here’s what she said:

    “On March 27, 2023, three 9-year-olds — Evelyn Dieckhaus, William Kinney, and Hallie Scruggs — along with Dr. Katherine Koonce, Cynthia Peak, and Mike Hill, walked into the Covenant School and didn’t walk out.” She continued, “The community of sorrow over this and the 130 mass shootings in the U.S. this year alone stretches from coast to coast. I wanted to personally stand up here and share this moment, because on Aug. 21, 2008, I watched Ryan McDonald, my 15-year-old classmate at Central High School, lose his life to a gun in our cafeteria.

    “Tonight’s broadcast is dedicated to the ever-growing list of family’s friends, survivors, witnesses, and responders whose lives continue to forever be changed by gun violence. I pray deeply that the closeness and the community that we feel through the next few hours of music can soon turn into action — like, real action — that moves us forward together to create change for the safety of our kids and our loved ones.”That wasn’t all. Shania Twain used her time on stage to demand that country music be more “inclusive,” saying that she would “continue to champion the many outstanding country artists that are not currently played… streamed, toured, or awarded at the level they deserve.”

    She then went on to declare “I believe in an all-inclusive country music. This is a genre of music with a rich history that raised and nurtured my own songwriting and performance and recording career from childhood. Currently, the industry standard does a real disservice to this. … My hope is this opportunity and spotlight impresses you much, and lights up the careers of these very talented people on their journey. I will continue to do my best as a trailblazer. Together, let’s ensure all our fellow artists get equal play regardless of gender, age, or race.”

    So now country has gone woke too. Time to find something else to listen to so those woke radicals aren’t financially supported.
