"I heard the cops came, cocky motherfuckers, ain't they? And ICE is gonna come bust down your door Try and build a house no one builds no more, but I got a telephone Kids are all scared and all alone The bar stopped bumping, the rock stopped rolling The middl fingers rising and it won't stop showing Got some bad news, th fading of the red, white and blue"
"Yeah, I think he chose the wrong genre of music, because in country music we are full of patriotism, pride, love for law enforcement, ICE, all of our law enforcement, replied McEnany. I do want to point out John Rich, a great country artist who said Nashville is full of guys like this, so he called it out. He'll be joining me Saturday on Saturday in America, so tune in for that. But country music is patriotism. It's police."
Zach Bryan released a song titled "Bad News" that includes explicit lyrics criticizing police and ICE and depicting fear and unrest. The lyrics contrast with traditional country themes of Americana, patriotism, and support for law enforcement. Reactions framed the song as a departure from those themes and raised questions about genre fit and career consequences. Commentary mentioned Bryan's prior run-in with police and a past apology, referenced other country artists' criticisms, and compared the backlash to commercial boycotts. Social-media reactions and conservative-leaning responses suggested potential damage to Bryan's standing in the country music audience.
