If you’ve been following along with the Sammy Kershaw-CMAs controversy, here’s the latest.
Sammy shared a statement that he’s had a private conversation with CMA leadership and accepted their apology. He’s a good man for that too, because I would’ve told them to kiss my ass. That’s just me though.
He also said he and his wife have been invited to attend, but he didn’t say if they would. He is hoping that the whole ordeal will lead to change in how legacy artists are recognized and appreciated.
Sammy thanked everyone who spoke up in what he posted on his social, but this was the most important part to me. He said, “You cannot celebrate 60 years of country music without celebrating the artists who helped build those 60 years…The spotlight may move on…But the people who built country music should never be forgotten.”
