There was nothing wrong with what he said. Some woman like taking care of their households and men. We are natural care takers. She had mentioned a ton how helpful he is with household chores. He just might not say it the right way. Men like to be born leaders. Woman need to stop being so hard Azz. I hate to say it but men don’t like it. It doesn’t f**king matter what men don’t like. Women are entitled to their opinions about how they are treated by society and if men don’t like those opinions they can deal with it. The truth hurts but it has to be heard! There are actually so many things wrong with what Cade said. For starters, it’s not the 1900s. Secondly, Gabby is not his mother; what is he gonna do when he’s hungry and she’s off on tour or something? Can he not cook for himself and clean after himself? Clearly he can if he helps out like Gabby says he does. If Gabby likes to be the one doing the household chores, all power to her! But she’s not obligated to it and it is not her job. Well first of all they tour together. Second I doubt she is catering to his every need. Like the above post said he was thanking her and being appreciative. Just because some woman don’t like taking care of their men or household doesn’t mean some woman love doing that. I come from a family where my dad worked and mom took care of the household. Don’t put other people down for how they live and we have not put you down for how you choose to live. No one is being harmed. Why do you care. We are all different and can choose to live how we want and what makes us happy as long as we aren’t harming anyone. No one should give a damn how she chooses to live.

His comments said the work she was doing was a woman's job. It's not. For some families, maybe one does all the chores. In most healthy and loving relationships things like this are split up and everyone does their share. The fact that she brings in so much more money than him hopefully irks him. I wish someone would comment, "and your job is to provide, so you better up your game, Cade." I said this a few weeks ago and got crushed on here. These toxic men are going to be the death of her. And if she doesn't speak up about it, then I won't feel bad at all if her career tanks.

Okay beyond the fact that I don't care for her as a vocalist. It's Gabby Barrett's husband, father, and fans are why it is so hard for me to root for her despite me always rooting for women in country music. There is just an air of unlikable that always proceeds these threads as both this and the "I Hope" thread are just full of arguments about her, her politics, and family. Because of that for me at least it is so hard to root for her.

People need to stop reading so much into every single social media comment. Maybe she doesn't want to criticize everything everyone does and support every little agenda like Maren Morris. It's obvious she's happy with what she's doing and how she's doing it. There is no shame in a woman being satisfied and enjoying taking care of her household like many people act. Not to mention all the things she has with her career along with her home life. Whether anyone on here wants to believe or not, yes people perceive household chores and things like cooking and cleaning as a woman's niche. That doesn't mean every woman has to do it or enjoys it, it's just how it has always been thought of and I don't think that's derogatory. Cade simply said he was thankful to have a woman who is proud to do those things.

It would be one thing if it was the first time Cade made comments like that but it’s far from that.
He’s a weirdo and I feel bad for her. Given the men around her she’s more likely to be the next Britney Spears than the next Carrie Underwood.

I wish y’all would leave politics out of here. Gabby is one of the hottest acts in country music. She’s a Christian and a good person. Some of you hate that gabby is having this much success. Some of you was hoping she was a one hit wonder with I hope. Well me speaking as a fan I absolutely love Gabby’s music. And hope gabby has a long long career ahead of her. I can not wait for album two and more hits to come. Her politics is none of my business.

As for in bold, it's the perception that household chores are a woman's niche/job that I have a problem with as it reinforces a gender stereotype that has been outdated for over 30 years for now and should really just go away, it's gross, it's toxic and I have always seen the cliche of "Women are meant to clean and cook" to be degrading to women as it makes them look inherently subservient to their husbands when in reality Gabby Barrett is the one bringing in the dough and Cade should be the one to clean house.

I can not wait for album two and more hits to come. Her politics is none of my business. As for this comment. This is a discussion thread and discussing politics is fair game especially in the year 2021, not to mention her husbands comment. Also I am just gonna say this, being Christian does not automatically make someone a good person. I also haven't seen anyone hate that Gabby is having success, the closest would be me but I just wish I liked her more than I do.

Eh I stepped away and didn’t realize this would turn into what I saw on the Instagram post. Sorry, I didn’t intend to bring that here and I respectfully ask that no further debate be made regarding politics of the comments Cade makes. I posted it because her team has clearly not figured out a strategy to handle the these situations as the comments were so bad that they were ultimately disabled. I had expected debate around what they could/should do with the issue and whether it impacts her success. Someone else commented that this is not the first time he would make controversial comments, and I agree, but I’m not sure everyone is aware of that as she continues to garner new fans. I was really concerned about the impact as the post was made to promote her late show appearance promoting her current single. The comments haven’t had any impact on her success yet but will that remain the case? That’s the opinion I’m curious about and I think that can be discussed whether you agree or disagree with what Cade said. I can’t imagine Gabby is happy that her team essentially silenced her husband in this scenario and it feels like that kind of tension could be increasingly problematic in the relationships with her team (my opinion).

Just like you can root for her to do well other people can hope for the opposite. And in my eyes, she isn't a good person. A good person would speak up when the people around her say hateful things that hurt her fans. So while in your eyes you think she is a good person, in mine (and many others) she is not.

I know I hope thread got shut down over these discussions. So yeah let’s see what the moderators have to say. I just love country music and will continue to discuss topic related to the music.

That’s your opinion. But you didn’t think gabby would have success after I hope. When I used to post her album sales you’d say she’s not selling very well. Now her Album is Gold And I hope is 5 times platinum. And the good ones is platinum to so Gabby is doing better then you ever thought she would and obviously more people like her then don’t like her.

You act like he killed someone. Or abused someone. I seriously doubts her team cares what he posted. He didn’t harm anyone or offend anyone.

How does it impact relationships with her team that is promoting her music. It’s ok if you feel there is no impact. That’s the kind of opinions I was curious to hear.

Ever thought maybe these comments don't bother her and she doesn't feel the need to speak up? People need to stop reading so much into every single social media comment. Maybe she doesn't want to criticize everything everyone does and support every little agenda like Maren Morris. It's obvious she's happy with what she's doing and how she's doing it. There is no shame in a woman being satisfied and enjoying taking care of her household like many people act. Not to mention all the things she has with her career along with her home life. Whether anyone on here wants to believe or not, yes people perceive household chores and things like cooking and cleaning as a woman's niche. That doesn't mean every woman has to do it or enjoys it, it's just how it has always been thought of and I don't think that's derogatory. Cade simply said he was thankful to have a woman who is proud to do those things. Okay I am just gonna say this Maren Morris doesn't support every little agenda. Just going to say that much. As for in bold, it's the perception that household chores are a woman's niche/job that I have a problem with as it reinforces a gender stereotype that has been outdated for over 30 years for now and should really just go away, it's gross, it's toxic and I have always seen the cliche of "Women are meant to clean and cook" to be degrading to women as it makes them look inherently subservient to their husbands when in reality Gabby Barrett is the one bringing in the dough and Cade should be the one to clean. If you don’t like the perception then that’s you. The problem with this whole thing is there are people, for instance me and you, on opposite ends of this. I don’t think you’re horrible for thinking the way you do, and I’m not accusing you of thinking that of me. I was raised with a stay at home mom and dad who worked. Also, many other families I know are the same way. Yet, those women don’t see it as a bad thing, they love taking care of their family and have pride in doing so. They feel that’s their contribution, but also know they can do other things and husbands do help out. As I said earlier, me and a friend had this discussion as she just got married a few years ago and was going into teaching. When she has kids what she wants to do is be a stay at home mom until her kid is old enough for school and she felt like everybody thinks down on that now and she should not be happy with being satisfied fitting into that role and honestly it’s true. But my point is, this is just passed down from generations and it all depends on how you’ve been raised and what your personal beliefs are. Gabby seems to be content and proud of taking care of her family i guess you could say “old fashioned “ lifestyle and she shouldn’t be punished for it.

So I just want to chime in and specify for the people that think Gabby is being hated on that none of us have a problem with the fact that Gabby likes to cook, clean, do laundry, or whatever. She seems to be crushing it right now with balancing her personal life and career, and she seems to be happy, which is awesome to see! And if that's the role she wants to take on with her life, more power to her! The problem here is that she has a husband who completely and unabashedly believes that these things are women's work, and whether he is grateful for it or not, or whether he jumps in and helps behind the scenes, the way he presents it for the world to see is still sexist af. He could just say "thank you baby for all the hard work you do for our family!", but instead he says "Thank you baby, I'm so grateful to have a woman who loves doing women's work!" There is a HUGE difference between those things! And what makes it even worse is that he doesn't have to say anything, but he voluntarily chooses to broadcast it to the world. That's why people are saying he is a liability. Also, anyone who is saying "at least she's not pushing every little agenda like Maren Morris" are literally doing more to turn this political than anyone else. "Gabby's husband phrases things like a jerk" is a valid criticism that frankly doesn't have to have anything to do with politics, but does have everything to do with her career...and it is being combatted with "Maren Morris should keep her mouth shut like Gabby does" which is not even slightly relevant to this discussion, and is literally shaming women for no reason whatsoever (which is something that nobody else in this thread has done except for Gabby's husband). Disgusting. Edit: tl;dr, the roles that Gabby and her husband choose to take on is 100% their business...but he is constantly making it our business every time he flaunts it for the world to see. That's why we have such a problem with him. The solution is literally to just live his life, but he can't even manage to do that.

Yeah the way he phrases the stuff is weird. I wish she would just urge them to not say anything because I feel like a lot of peoples frustration on here with Gabby is with her husband and dad, but not her. Gabby herself has seemed composed and very nice. I also don’t think that it should be expected for every artist to voice their opinion on things like Maren chooses too. If they want too, great, if not then that’s their choice.

Gabby herself has seemed composed and very nice. Unforunatley, Gabby has proven to have a few fans, that in my eyes have poisoned the apple. A few notes: - Gabby will not be nominated before Carly or Ashley at the CMAs this fall. These things are about years and years of work. She’s not popular with the critics yet and she’s still establishing her brand in Nashville. Don’t set your Expectations too high. Get excited about the New Artist nom and roll from there as she builds her career. - Gabby has a good PR team and thus far she’s listened to them. - part of being an artist is your personal life. That’s what makes good music. If she’s nothing but a good voice, she will go nowhere in her career. - If she didn’t condone her husbands actions or believes, she wouldn’t have married him. - Her husband wrote that on a public social media outlet - and this is a discussion forum about Gabby, so this is the place to discuss her. If you don’t like it, that’s fine. If you don’t agree, that’s fine. But no one has said anything outlandish and people have a right to be speak their mind.

I always wanted to study music business at Belmont but I hit college age as digital music was being introduced and the stability of the industry was unclear to me so I chose a safer path. Still fascinated by all things music business and I’m sure this kind of stuff is discussed in marketing. Was kind of surprised there wasn’t as much interest here as I anticipated in discussing the business impacts. Her team does seem to be doing a great job, it just seems that they’re being put in the position to work harder and that can be taxing on relationships.

What does it matter what we think. Why is it such a big deal. I took the pic as a cool pic with a girl who was enjoying what she was doing. So what’s the big deal on what he said. People in general need to take chill pills and let those two live there lives. We as fans only should or need to comment on her music and that’s it. Cus she is professional singer who is having her dream career as a singer.

This thread is a single thread for the song the good ones. Maybe someone should post a thread for Gabby and her husband’s personal and political life. That way this thread can stay on topic. Just a thought obviously I’m not a moderator

Her team does seem to be doing a great job, it just seems that they’re being put in the position to work harder and that can be taxing on relationships. I actually like what you are trying to go for with the discussion. I had taken a few music related courses in college, including a record label management one and learning about handling PR, both good and bad, was always an interesting topic. My thoughts are that everything she does is always going to be scrutinized by the public. I do think the situation with her husband has remained rather quiet because she hasn't spoken up about it. If she feels what he has said isn't problematic at all then she's best off staying quiet about it as saying anything supporting his rhetoric will be damaging to her career in the long term. I think she is gonna be interesting to follow career wise because I'm not convinced she is gonna stick around and I think that will all be determined by her second album and how that is received. If her husband continuously makes these problematic posts it will grow to be something that will be damaging. Honestly I'm surprised it hasn't grown to be a bigger thing yet, and I do expect it to become one if it doesn't stop. Whether some find what he is saying is problematic, enough people do and perception is everything in the mainstream. I do think there will come a time where she is forced to address it and as I stated above that might be the worst thing for her. Anyways, I was curious has there been any rumblings about what her next single is going to be?

People in general need to take chill pills and let those two live there lives. We as fans only should or need to comment on her music and that’s it. Cus she is professional singer who is having her dream career as a singer. It matters as much as you posting about how much you like Ashely McBryde’s sound but don’t like Martha Devine. It’s all opinions and there is no defined weight in terms of the value of those opinions. It’s enjoyable to hear different perspectives while recognizing there’s no right or wrong opinion. Single threads consist of opinions of whether one likes the song, chart highlights (a business aspect, not music), and other many other aspects of the artists and songs as you probably know from participating in the threads. My comments in this thread have been in regards to a social media post promoting her current single, The Good Ones, and how her team is dealing with promotional posts like that for her music and whether there’s any impact to the success of her single(s).

From a business standpoint, something that was discussed in my classes was how everything an artist chooses to speak up (or not speak up) about can have an impact on their career. If this continues, it could be a liability for her label and her career, especially if she wants to push any singles to pop radio.

I mean just in general I'm not sure if she is gonna continue to be successful on radio and in general. I'm sure she'll still release music but I'm not sure it'll be at the level of popularity of "I Hope" or "The Good Ones". I feel like based on her success she's starting out more like a Deana Carter or Gretchen Wilson, than a Carrie Underwood per say is what I'm trying to say. I may be completely off and it is why I feel like she'll be interesting to follow
