Country has been trying to get the mainstream pop audience for years now. Dixie Chicks in the 90s, Florida Georgia Line now. No more traditional country, no more outlaw country, now their strategy is "See coastal lib? I'm just like you, except with a funny accent and mannerisms!"
Yea I love me some classic country. I remember when the Dixie chicks said what they did I was like she has every right to say it but she knows the majority of her fans are more conservative. Of course she was praised for being “brave”. If I was a rapper and got backlash for encouraging intact families and calling out race hustlers I’m sure the media would support me.
Ironic you make this comment in this thread. Big & Rich's biggest hit always sounded like a clear attempt at pop crossover. Not that im complaining, its a fun, cheesy song.

Never heard of Bryson gray?
Who is that? A singer?
Rapper.
I'm going to sing about my pick up truck! I'm just a working man, never mind that I've never had a real job!
It's pop with a (usually fake) southern accent.
