Donald Trump's inauguration events included performances by Carrie Underwood, Snoop Dogg and the Village People. Things were different 8 years ago.
The article from Billboard discusses the political polarization affecting the music industry, particularly highlighted by the events surrounding Donald Trump's inauguration in 2017. It details how many high-profile artists like Elton John, Celine Dion, and Jennifer Lopez declined invitations to perform at the inauguration, reflecting a broader trend where musicians are increasingly aligning themselves with political ideologies, often to the left. This reluctance to perform at politically charged events like Trump's inauguration has led to a noticeable shift in the music industry, where artists are more openly expressing their political views, which in turn influences their career decisions, fan base, and the overall cultural landscape. The piece also explores how this polarization has led to a divide in the music community, with some artists and fans feeling alienated or choosing to support musicians based on their political stances, thereby pulling pop music further to the right in reaction to the left-leaning majority.
