Well that was quick. I’m still mad at her though. She was reckless. Gotta think before you speak, honey!

People are so dramatique. Shes human...a lot of of people went with Trump only cause they didn't want Hilary in, but unfortunately he was a bigger mistake.
No one in this thread ever, but come running to sink their teeth in. Funny.

Discussing news in the thread’s appropriate topic isn’t the same as a bunch of outsiders suddenly finding their way into a new space to “sink their teeth in.” It’s...literally just discussing a relevant news topic in its respective, related thread.

She put herself out there like that...you’d have to be living at the bottom of the sea to not know how horrible Trump’s presidency is. It’s fucking everywhere. No amount of isolation can hide from it this go round.
And any person with even half a brain knew Trump would be worse than Hillary. C’mon—what the fuck were us Americans thinking. A con man who made billions screwing over the avg Joe is somehow gonna deliver us jobs and “make America again.” The man literally said every horrible thing he would do. FOH!

What I take from this whole thing is that... She is one of those life-long right wingers who believed that all democrats are lying liberal devils, she would have voted for Trump because she would have supported any Republican candidate. But the conservatives hate admitting to the fact that they are just stubborn and stuck-up, so much like most Trump supporters, she used the whole "honesty" "not a politician" thing as a front, not knowing that it only made her sound more ignorant. She's definitely not "alt-right", just very conservative, which she has the right to be. But answering that question at all was just a terrible PR move...

Lol that embarrassing back pedal. Like, just admit that you are a privileged rich straight white woman who is far, far away from being the type of person hurt by Trump's policies anyway even if you were American. She is already so rich she doesn't need gay money anyway.

An EXTREMELY unpopular opinion. don't be surprised that the people who are losing their health, their jobs, their education, their lives, their children's lives and their rights as Americans because of this man, come back at her.

Right or not, all she did was express an unpopular opinion. The rather blase tone is what's most unfortunate for me, but I agree with this. Still, you'd think that her PR would have stepped in. I'm not surprised that Natalie's being brought into this, but the main difference is that Shania's career high as a contemporary act was so long ago that it was sealed and stamped ages ago. The Dixie Chicks had the top song on their home format, the top album on their format, and the top two catalog sellers when their s**t went down. They were still in their peak period and it was all torpedoed in an instant, so their main period (when the spotlight was already on them) was affected by it, and then it was partially reconfirmed since they only put out one more album since then. This'll most likely just end up a side point on Shania's wikipedia page in the long run.

This'll most likely just end up a side point on Shania's wikipedia page in the long run. I was referring to Natalie but it's not lost on me that the response of outrage is there for Shania too - and I think because of seeing what happened with Natalie for simply expressing her opinion is what's making me not so outraged over Shania for expressing hers. Despite what I think about Trump in any sense of the word, I do think Shania had a point with what she said. That certainly doesn't mean I in any way agree with anyone who voted for and can still stand by him at this point but I think for many people, Trump was refreshing as a "politician" and Shania was simply expressing her opinion in hindsight over that. But of course, as much as Natalie and Shania are allowed to express their opinions, so too can people who buy the music and go to the concerts. I think it was ridiculous what happened to the Dixie Chicks after "the incident" so I'm finding it interesting now seeing the responses to Shania, and even trying to wrap my own head around it. Of course, there's a difference between voicing disappointment over a President leading an unjust war and voicing support for a President-to-be who is involved in just about every form of corruption possible so the situations aren't really the same at all. ...I'm mostly just thinking out loud now... I've written out and deleted paragraphs of text and now I'm just going to post.

I assumed that your post was likely about Natalie, but I think the phrase can be applied to either imo.

I didn’t vote for Trump, but as far as I’m concerned she should not have apologized. i feel people are entitled to their opinions and everyone is so f*cking sensitive these days.

Given everything Trump has incited and stands for I hardly think it’s sensitive to feel upset by her singing his praises in a fashion that suggests she has no clue what she’s talking about.

Singing his praises? Did you smoke some crack this morning? It’s a figure of speech. You’re about twice as dramatic as you claim the rest of us to be. I will never understand people who think that being a fan of artists or celebrities means they’re untouchable. Just because you like someone doesn’t mean they’re any less human or immune to criticism. Learn to stay in your lane, our business with Shania is ours.

No no. You said singing his praises...which she didn't do. Fact. Nothing to do with being a fan. Plus, Im hardly a fan of her these days. But nice reach to downplay your dramatics.

Now, no. Thats why a lot of people have egg on their face cause they believed him and went with the other option instead of Hilary.
