During a recent performance, country music icon Alan Jackson made waves when he silently got up and departed just before Beyoncé and the Dixie Chicks approached the stage.
Witnesses said that Jackson seemed disinterested and said, “It’s not worth it,” before leaving the arena.
Pop and country music fans debated the event when it swiftly went viral. Given his reputation for traditional country music, some people theorize that Jackson would have objected to Beyoncé’s inclusion in the genre.
Which has historically been split between traditionalists and contemporary influences. Others think that the Dixie Chicks’ divisive political views, which have turned off numerous country fans over the years, were the reason for his departure.
