TIME has reached out to Freedom 250 for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It\u2019s not the first time Trump has caused backlash from the artistic community. Several artists, including Sabrina Carpenter<\/a>, have previously pushed back against the Administration\u2019s use of their songs to advance its political agenda on social media.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Who\u2019s out?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n

Country singer-songwriter Martina McBride, in a Thursday social media post<\/a>, said she was \u201cpresented with an opportunity to perform at a nonpartisan event but that turned out to be misleading.\u201d She added that in the lead-up, she asked several questions and was assured by organizers of nonpartisanship, but that \u201cyesterday things started changing and what we were told is, in fact, not what is happening.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

McBride\u2019s performance was originally scheduled for June 25, but she said fans reached out to her after being publicly revealed in the line-up. \u201cI\u2019ve spent my entire career singing songs about real people with real issues,\u201d she added. \u201cIt greatly upsets me that any fan who has been moved by my music may now feel like I\u2019m abandoning the meaning behind those songs. I assure you, that is not the case.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
