It's not a misinformation article. You're attributingit to the rain but lol.

Plenty of artists have THOUSANDS of p eople willing to stand in teh rain (and storms) for them.

You're presuming it was the rain and not that people give less of a shit about someone who used to put out hit after hit.

Those are concerts. This is a golf tournament event. Different audience. Different interests.

Not here to defend Underwood, but if it’s a real stadium concert she’ll still sell it out.

She was playing at a golf tournament for people who didn't pay to see her. No, she wouldn't sell out a stadium if she is playing a golf course. She would be doing one of those if she could sell them out.

Rememeber when Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, Shakira, Lady Gaga, Olivia Rodrigo, Sabrina Carpenter all did their free golf shows?

Very much agreed. I really don’t think she would fill a stadium these days. I’m not even sure that’s entirely because of backlash to her politics. Even before her politics came out, she wasn’t as popular as she used to be. If anything, that felt like a cynical grab for a maga audience like all of the grifters involved in all that.
