Gavin Adcock made headlines just more than a month ago when he stopped a show to give his fans his thoughts on Beyoncé and her “Cowboy Carter” album.
And the rising country music star got back on the subject of Beyoncé and her fans during an appearance on Rolling Stone’s Nashville Now podcast earlier this week, according to Taste of Country.
Adcock was asked if her fans were welcomed at his shows.
“Anytime,” he said.
But that came with a warning.
“They better get ready for the environment,” he added.
“It’s just a beer-soaked, rowdy, cussin’, hell-raising environment where people are just throwing down,” Adcock said.
Adcock said his shows are an “experience.”
“I sell T-shirts that say, ‘I survived a Gavin Adcock Concert,’ at my merch table,” he said.
Not sure how much of an olive branch that really is, but … Beyoncé fans you can go if you want.
The college football player turned country music star made news earlier this year because he wasn’t feeling the idea that his “My Own Worst Enemy” album was behind “Cowboy Carter” on Apple’s Country Music albums chart.
“There’s only three people ahead of me on the Apple Country Music charts, and one of them is Beyoncé,” Adcock told his fans. “You can tell her we are coming for her (expletive) ass.”
Then he went in on her.
“That (expletive) ain’t country music, and it ain’t ever been country music,” he said to cheers.
Adcock then took to Instagram to add more context to the video.
“I’m going to go ahead and clear this up,” he said. “When I was a little kid, my mama was blasting some Beyoncé in the car. I’ve heard a ton of Beyoncé songs, and I actually remember her Super Bowl halftime show being pretty kick ass back in the day. But I really don’t believe that her album should be labeled as country music. It doesn’t sound country. It doesn’t feel country, and I just don’t think that people that have dedicated their whole lives to this genre and this lifestyle should have to compete or watch that album just stay at the top just because she is Beyoncé.”
Beyoncé has yet to respond and probably won’t.
