The show, put on by the conservative organization to compete with Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime performance, will feature performances by Kid Rock, Brantley Gilbert and Lee Brice. Gabby Barrett, 2021 winner of new female artist of the year at the Academy of Country Music Awards, will also perform.
Yeah…
Boycotting this performance is the ethical thing to do. There are some artists that I don’t listen to anymore, because of their political actions in the last few years. When someone famous I like throws their name, image, and platform behind fascism, I write them off.
Quick clarification edit: Boycotting by never watching, repost or otherwise*
I can see your point if you (or the person reading this deciding on whether to watch or not) thinks the songs are about the hate. If it’s just conservative artists playing their popular songs, there’s nothing unethical about watching them perform, regardless of the reason for the performance (and the timing). It’s just a matter of if the “wrong” people get paid for you watching it or not. The artists are getting paid regardless.
Now, if they all wrote songs supporting fascism, the fourth reich, and all that, then yes, by all means, never watch it. I don’t think that’s the case though I do think some of that will be present before/after the music (considering who’s putting it on).
