Well, many country fans on Twitter are not happy, and some it seems are happy. If you read through quote tweets and replies to Brad Paisley’s tweet announcing a collaboration with Ukrainian President Zelensky, many of the supportive tweets are from people who say they “don’t normally listen to this kind of music”.

This may lead one to believe they are promoting a cause over an actual singer or song. Exhibit A:

Not a country music fan – at all, one bit – however, listened to the end and wasn’t disappointed. https://t.co/VZM7vL1CRc

Exhibit B:

Not usually a fan of country music, but this is an exceptional exception! Thank you @BradPaisley for this! I have a friend in Ukraine and I have more in common with her than I ever could have known. A piece of my heart is in #Ukraine ❤️🇺🇦 https://t.co/uiBnGVXfTz

One apparent leftist admits that the song won’t go over well with Paisley’s fan base:

“I commend Brad Paisley for this. His normal target audience will most likely not be pleased with this song, but he still made it anyways. Kudos and hat off to you, Brad!”

Some of the more critical tweet replies or quote tweets:

“This isn’t a joke.. it’s real life. This is what happens when you marry a Hollywood Lib. Nerd.”

.@BradPaisley would’ve been a hero if he did a charity song for USA senior citizens who can’t afford groceries, heating, gas, medicine but, instead he made a song to raise money for corrupt rich Ukraine/USA politicians. #AmericaLast

What is Brad Paisley doing? Writing a song for Ukraine and Zelensky. Yes everyone wants to be free, but putting it all on the backs of the American people has to stop. Has he looked at the national debt lately? Or met with any struggling American?

How much did “they” pay Brad Paisley to record a pro-Ukraine song with Zelenskyy or is he just that lost?

It’s sad when your heroes let you down

You wrote a song about dictator Zelensky @BradPaisley really?? We can feel bad for the people but he put his political opponent in prison

So disappointed with Brad Paisley how can he support a man that is getting rid of Christianity in Ukraine? Mr selinski needs to go or however you spell his name we need to stop this insane war. And take care of our own country.

To be clear, and in our analysis, we don’t feel that most conservatives are not supporting the Ukrainian people. Many simply feel that the United States government is not prioritizing taxpayer dollars towards Americans first in our view.

From WhiskeyRiff.com:

Paisley explained his reasoning behind the song:

“The song is grounded in observing life in the United States, then to people from other countries who speak different languages and to one across the ocean that’s at war. We start to realize how similar we all are.

That’s one of the things the President says in the song, ‘There is no distance between our two countries in such values.’ They are longing for what we as Americans have already. It’s heartbreaking watching this struggle in modern time for freedom and democracy and the ability to just simply be who they want to be in peace.

And this song is something that I hope resonates not only with my fans and people in America, but people anywhere that feel a similar desire to be free and safe and happy. Because I really do believe that as human beings when you take away the banners that determine what country we all live in, we all want the same things.”

Paisley has a history of getting political:
