Martina McBride pulls out of America 250 concert: 'Turned out to be misleading'
Country singer Martina McBride shared on Thursday that she will not be participating in a massive concert on the National Mall next month to celebrate America’s 250th birthday, claiming she was misled about the nature of the event.
“I was presented with an opportunity to perform at a nonpartisan event but that turned out to be misleading,” McBride wrote in an Instagram post. “I asked lots of questions and was assured this was a nonpartisan event that was meant to celebrate ALL 50 states.”
McBride was one of a handful of artists scheduled to perform during the Great American State Fair, a 16-day exposition that runs from June 25 through July 10, Freedom 250 organizers announced this week.
The “Independence Day” singer said she initially viewed the event as “a bigger version” of the many state fairs she had performed at over the years, but “things started changing,” and it was no longer what she had envisioned.
