Wynonna Judd Doesn’t Think Politics Belong at Her Concerts

Wynonna Judd says she does not want to use her concerts to promote political views, arguing that audiences come to hear music and should leave feeling better. She says her role on stage is to entertain and help fans connect with her, rather than tell them what to think.

Judd cited Dolly Parton’s appeal as rooted in her love for everyone. Her comments follow Rosie O’Donnell describing her as a Trump supporter; Judd said she is an independent, and O’Donnell later apologised for assuming her politics based on a Mar-a-Lago performance. Judd said she has performed for presidents, Congress and the Senate, and will sing for anyone. Metallica’s James Hetfield recently expressed a similar view about keeping politics out of the band’s performances.
