I posted this song three months ago as a snippet. This shows you how divisive a narrative can be when shoved down our throats through social media,\u201d he pointed out. \u201cThis song is about how much I love this country and everyone in it.\u201d <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Zach Bryan addresses criticism about his new political song.

Everyone using this now as a weapon is only proving how devastatingly divided we all are. We need to find our way back.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The country music star further pointed out that he has served and loves the country. \u201cThe song itself is about all of us coming out of this divided space,\u201d he continued. \u201cI wasn\u2019t speaking as a politician or some greater-than-thou a\u2013hole, just a 29-year-old man who is just as confused as everyone else. To see how much s\u2014 it stirred up makes me not only embarrassed but kind of scared.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bryan went on to note that he is not on either of the \u201cradical sides\u201d of the political aisle. \u201cTo all those disappointed in me on either side of whatever you believe in, just know I\u2019m trying my best too,\u201d he added. \u201cAnd we all say things that are misconstrued sometimes.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.suggest.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Critics are slamming a country music star after he released a political song condemning raids being conducted by the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Videos by Suggest Zach Bryan, a US Navy veteran, released a sneak peek of his upcoming single \u201cBad News,\u201d which led to critics calling him out for his assumed criticism [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2077631,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":[],"jnews_primary_category":[],"jnews_social_meta":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[25179],"tags":[21800],"class_list":["post-2077630","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music","tag-music"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Country-Music-Star-Condemns-ICE-Raids-in-New-Political-Song.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2077630","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2077630"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2077630\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2077632,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2077630\/revisions\/2077632"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2077631"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2077630"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2077630"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2077630"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
