In a detailed Instagram statement, McBride stated that she was “misled” into believing the June 25th concert would be a wholesome, nonpartisan celebration representing all 50 states
“I would like to talk to you and clear the air,” she announced. “I will not be performing at the Great American State Fair on June 25th.
McBride went on to say she’s “been blessed with the opportunity to be a voice for those who have felt like they didn’t have one.” She added that she is saddened that “any fan who has been moved by my music may now feel like I’m abandoning the meaning behind those songs.”
