Chase Rice Facing Backlash Over Concert
Country singer Chase Rice is facing controversy after posting a video showing a large crowd of fans not wearing masks or social distancing at his concert in Brushy Mountain in Tennessee.
Rice was quickly called out by fellow country artists Kelsea Ballerini, Will Hoge, and Mickey Guyton for putting thousands of fans at risk amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
However he did have support from country artists Jake Owens and Michael Morgan with Owens stating “it’s amazing how many country artists, songwriters and media outlets are quick to throw shade at our own people.”
The VP from Brushy Mountain Group, Brian May, stated that “all local requirements were abided by for the recent concert, and numerous precautions were taken.”
