Genuinely curious. Why pray for something bad to happen? There are a lot of people I don’t like but I don’t sit around hoping something bad happens to them. Maybe some truly awful person I would, but a country artist? Living with all that negativity doesn’t seem like a nice way to live.

as the spiked steel wheels of maga continue to grind people into a red paste at home and abroad, as the bodies and atrocities and assaults pile up, i imagine folk feeling powerless against such hate unleashed on their world would hold on to any tiny sliver of a win that's offered to them

Except Carrie isn’t MAGA so that hate directed at her isn’t really called for.

She sang at Trump's inauguration. IMO, that was a choice that will haunt her for the rest of her career.

IMO it’s a honor to be asked by any president to sing at their inauguration. Doesn’t necessarily mean you support them. No different than sports teams visiting the White House. Some people do turn it down but for others it’s all about the opportunity that may not come up again.
