Country music artist John Rich has become a favorite of conservatives as his recent music criticizes the Biden administration and its leadership of America.
A recent victory by Rich may have propelled him even further in the eyes of the GOP as he won a lawsuit against a concert venue that attempted to force attendees of his show to present a vaccine passport.
During the pandemic Rich made a point not to play any venues that required vaccine proof and when he found out this specific one was planning to enforce such policies he cancelled the show which led to him being sued by the venue.
“During the lockdowns, I stated I’d NEVER play a concert venue that forced fans to show their ‘papers’ for entry concerning Covid,” the country star tweeted.
“One venue added that rule after I agreed to play, so I cancelled it. The promoter sued me. He LOST the case today! Happy to say I never bent the knee,” Rich continued.

One of the few conservative country artists that has spoken out against some left leaning ideologies, Rich has become a figurehead for Republicans, showing that all it takes is standing up for what you believe in.
“There are many conservative country music singers that just won’t say anything to push back against the ideologies that aim to erase what they care about,” Rich tweeted.
“Why? You know why. I hope soon we see them start to speak up. The country music industry is out of touch with the audience,” he continued.
