Martina McBride announce her exit president donald trumpThe event was allegedly canceled after being told “misleading” information about the event’s intentions.
“I wanted to speak with you and clear up a misunderstanding. I will not be performing at the State Fair on June 25th. I was offered the opportunity to perform at a non-partisan event, which turned out to be misleading,” McBride, 59, Written via Instagram Thursday, May 28th.
She added, “I asked a lot of questions and was convinced that this was a nonpartisan event meant to celebrate all 50 states. In my mind, I thought it was a great way to celebrate the states and also bring people together in a way that only music can. I thought it was just a bigger version of the many state fairs I’ve attended over the years, celebrating community and what makes each state special. Sounds like fun, right? Even healthy.”
country legend Says she quickly changed her mind about taking the stage when “things started to change.” She apologized to fans who felt betrayed by her decision to appear on the show.
With 14 studio albums, more than 50 singles and decades of experience in the music industry, Martina McBride’s discography is far-reaching, but the country star says one song stands out from the rest in her career. “The song I’m most proud of is ‘Independence Day,’” McBride, 58, revealed exclusively on 25 Things You Don’t Know About Me .
“I’ve spent my entire career singing songs about real people and real issues,” she continued. “I have been blessed to have the opportunity to be a voice for those who feel they have no voice. It is very frustrating to me that any fans who have been touched by my music may now feel like I have abandoned the meaning behind those songs. I assure you, that is not the case. I am grateful for every fan who has reached out. I hope to be back in the Washington area soon.”
She captioned the post: “I knew instantly this was what must have happened. I’m sorry it was misrepresented but it’s no surprise to see you did the right thing 🤍.”
