Outkick’s Tomi Lahren is sounding off about the so-called “woke” agenda in country music. Lahren went one-on-one with singer Craig Campbell to discuss what’s different with the industry.
Lahren said she’s observed drastic changes to country music radio stations which include more pop-themed songs which she said is a departure from what she’s accustomed to.
“Sometimes you turn on country radio and it doesn’t feel like country radio,” she said.
“I will one hundred percent agree that the country music definition, country music as a genre, doesn’t have really defined lines,” Campbell said. “You can hear a song on a country radio station and then you hear that same exact version on a pop station.”
Campbell said that he didn’t understand the tendency for music executives to push country music out as pop music, adding, “I’m not cool with that.”
“As far as my music is concerned, you will never hear any of my music on a pop station,” he said.
Lahren noted that country music fans are by and large patriotic but added that sometimes the music industry doesn’t represent America.
“I agree and that’s part of the reason that I don’t have a record deal, I feel like I work better and not having to ask permission because nine times out of ten when you have to do that you’re going to get shut down,” said Campbell.
