Now everything has become political and it\u2019s hard to find any neutral celebrities. And what\u2019s worse, it\u2019s almost impossible to find any famous people who are brave enough to espouse conservative views, even in the realm of country music.<\/p>\n<p>However, there are a few country artists who aren\u2019t afraid to say they are conservative. These are some of the most outspoken.<\/p>\n<p>Kid Rock<\/p>\n<p>Love him or hate him, Kid Rock (whose real name is Robert Ritchie) is one of the most vocal conservative country stars in the business. He\u2019s become friends with Donald Trump, he says, and even plays golf with him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe ended up becoming buddies,\u201d Kid Rock <a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/entertainment-arts\/tv\/story\/2022-03-22\/kid-rock-tucker-carlson-president-donald-trump\">mentioned<\/a> during a March appearance on \u201cTucker Carlson Tonight.\u201d \u201cSpend a lot of time [together] at the golf course now. It\u2019s really weird to get phone calls from him and stuff. It\u2019s kind of mind-blowing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said hanging out with Trump is \u201cawesome\u201d and \u201cso much fun.\u201d Ritchie is absolutely not a fan of Joe Biden or Dr. Anthony Fauci, though. In the song \u201cWe the People,\u201d which was released in January, the singer said of the administration\u2019s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, \u201cWear your mask. Take your pills. Now a whole generation is mentally ill.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The chorus includes the line \u201cLet\u2019s go, Brandon,\u201d which has become a euphemism for \u201cF*** Joe Biden.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>John Rich<\/p>\n<p>Rich expresses his political views through song lyrics. He leaves nothing up to interpretation in the song,\u00a0 \u201cProgress.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a hole in this country where its heart used to be, And Old Glory\u2019s divided, on fire in the street\u2026They say Building Back Better will make America great\u2026If that\u2019s a wave of the future, all I\u2019ve got to say\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStick your progress where the sun don\u2019t shine\/Keep your big mess away from me and mine\/If you leave us alone, well we\u2019d all be just fine\/Stick your progress where the sun don\u2019t shine.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Jason Aldean<\/p>\n<p>Jason Aldean says he tried to stay away from politics, but that became impossible after the events of 2020 and 2021.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you got kids and you\u2019re kind of seeing the future for them, like what it looks like, it\u2019s pretty scary,\u201d Aldean <a href=\"https:\/\/tasteofcountry.com\/jason-aldean-politics\/\">told<\/a> Taste of Country about why he came out as a conservative. Now there are photos of him hanging out at Trump\u2019s Christmas party. The country star also mentioned playing golf with the former president.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo I think for me, just seeing that, and you know, just how everything has been the last couple of years has been pretty wild,\u201d Aldean continued. \u201cA lot of things that I don\u2019t agree with, and sometimes it\u2019s kind of hard for me to sit back and not say anything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And even though he\u2019s not thrilled about the backlash, the \u201cYou Make It Easy\u201d singer says some things in life are more important than popularity.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo me there\u2019s a bigger picture there,\u201d he said. \u201cIf somebody doesn\u2019t listen to my music because of the way I think politically, that to me is kind of crazy, but whatever. To me, the bigger issue is we got kids and future generations that, we gotta get this stuff straightened out. It\u2019s kind of like the wild west out there right now. It\u2019s just been kind of crazy. It\u2019s hard to not have an opinion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Aldean\u2019s wife Brittany is even more outspoken than her husband, and recently got into a public battle with some other country stars when she criticized the idea of children who identify as trans being given hormone blockers, cross-sex hormones, and irreversible surgeries.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The singer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/my-barbie-jason-aldean-shows-support-for-wife-brittany-as-her-transgender-post-inspires-fury\">supported his wife<\/a> in the comments of her social media posts, which fans took to mean he felt the same way.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Granger Smith<\/p>\n<p>Smith won\u2019t commit to a political party one way or the other, but his lyrics and performances are patriotic on purpose.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe talk about these big, American things in a very funny, but proud, way \u2014 celebrating it, in a way,\u201d Smith told <a href=\"https:\/\/theboot.com\/granger-smith-honoring-military-patriotism\/\">The Boot<\/a> of his song, \u201cMerica\u201d in 2016. \u201cTo me, it\u2019s great because that song puts patriotism in America front and center at whatever festival or concert we play. We make sure that America is front and center, because I\u2019m so proud of the opportunities that we have here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The singer is also vocal about his Christian beliefs and support for the troops. During his Granger Across Merica Pledge of Allegiance Tour, he held concerts on the east coast \u2013 in what he called the thirteen colonies \u2013 reciting the Pledge everywhere he went.<\/p>\n<p>He was also one of the few country music stars who showed support to Jason Aldean\u2019s wife, Brittany, during the recent controversy over transgender children by liking one of her Instagram posts.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Toby Keith<\/p>\n<p>If anyone has doubts about Keith\u2019s commitment to conservative values, all they need to do is listen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There was a time when fans could safely assume that all country music stars leaned conservative, even if they didn\u2019t explicitly say so.
