Kenny Chesney and Travis Tritt: We Love Beyonce! We Swear!
Two of country music’s biggest superstars have been forced to pledge their allegiances to the biggest superstar of them all.
And now all Kenny Chesney and Travis Tritt can do is pray that the Beyhive is in a forgiving mood.
Let’s start with Chesney and his perceived sin…
The artist was in attendance last Wednesday at the CMA Awards when Beyonce took to the stage alongside The Dixie Chicks fora fun rendition of her hit “Daddy Lessons.”
But camera captured Chesney’s reaction at one point during the performance and… well…
… we’ll let @TheFactsofShade sum it up for us:
“Beyoncé is SLAYING for these white folks… But Keith Chesney doesn’t seem impressed,” wrote that Twitter user.
Check out the following video to see Chesney not exactly getting down with the beat:
Made aware of the criticism coming his way, Chesney actually issued a statement that emphasized his affection for Beyonce:
“I love Beyoncé … I loved her Super Bowl performance, her sense of how to make the music hit really hard – and give it drama when she’s onstage.
“The idea her fans were so quick to judge me, or know what I was thinking, doesn’t feel like the woman I’ve always imagined Beyoncé to be — and honestly, the people who love her music, either.”
Amazing.
Only Beyonce has the power to make a fellow celebrity have to come out with an explanation for actions that appear to be a slight.
And Chesney wasn’t even the only artist forced to do so!
On Thursday, Travis Tritt took to Twitter after a concert in order to both thank his fans… and take a shot at Beyonce’s CMA Awards appearance.
“Thanks to everyone who came out to see us in Bowling Green, KY tonight,” he wrote.
“Sorry we weren’t able to do any Beyoncé for all the country fans. FYI – My band and I are gonna try to work up Beyoncé’s ‘All The Single Ladies’ for all you die hard country fans who love traditional music!”
Added the crooner:
“I want to know when the BET or SoulTrain awards are gonna ask a country artist to perform on their awards show?”
As you might expect, Beyonce fans lashed out at Tritt over these comments.
“Why don’t you do a collaboration with Beyoncé? You might generate more hits,” one user wrote, while another added:
“If you hate pop music influencing country that’s fine. Singling out Beyonce is not. Daddy Lessons actually fits the genre.”
In response to the backlash, Tritt jumped on Twitter again to clarify his initial remarks.
“As I see it, country music has appealed to millions for many years,” he wrote. “We can stand on our own and don’t need pop artists on our awards shows.
“I love honest to God country music and feel the need to stand up for it at all costs. We don’t need pop or rap artists to validate us.”
That’s not an unreasonable point.
The Beyonce appearance, sadly, also generated a lot of hate from racist trolls.
They inundated the official CMA Awards social media sites with so many negative comments that producers gave in at one point and removed references to Beyonce.
Then, a few days later, Donald Trump slammed Beyonce and Jay Z for their lyrics during a concert in support of Hillary Clinton.
Unlike Tritt and Chesney, however, the Presidential candidate may no effort to walk his insults back.
Fortunately, Natalie Maines of The Dixie Chicks summed everything up best.
She tweeted lyrics from Beyoncé’s “Formation” over the weekend, throwing subtle shade at the haters in the process:
“You know you dat Bitch when you cause all this conversation,” she wrote. “Always stay gracious best revenge is your paper.”
AMEN!

Kenny Baker Dies; Actor Behind R2-D2 was 81
Kenny Baker, a British actor you may not recognize but whose work you know VERY well, died on Saturday after battling a lengthy illness.
He was 81 years old.
Standing at just 3 feet and 8 inches tall, Baker starred in six Star Wars films as the iconic character of R2-D2.
The actor’s niece, Abigail Shield, confirmed this sad news to The Guardian, paying tribute to her relative as follows:
“It was expected, but it’s sad nonetheless. He had a very long and fulfilled life. He brought lots of happiness to people and we’ll be celebrating the fact that he was well loved throughout the world.
“We’re all very proud of what he achieved in his lifetime.”
Baker rose to fame in 1977 when he first appeared on screen as this beloved robot.
He then returned for The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, as well as the three Star Wars prequels from 1999 to 2005.
Baker also has roles in a number of other popular films in the 1980s, including The Elephant Man, Time Bandits and Flash Gordon.
“When he was a child, he was told that he probably wouldn’t survive through puberty. Being a little person in those times, they didn’t have a very good life expectancy,” Shield told The Guardian on Saturday.
“He did extremely well in his life. He was very ill for the last few years, so we had been expecting it.
“He had been looked after by one of his nephews, who found him on Saturday morning.”
She concluded:
“He had problems with his lungs and was often in a wheelchair. He was very poorly for a long time. He was asked to go out to L.A. for the new Star Wars premiere, but he was told he was too ill to travel.
“Luckily, he did manage to meet George Lucas again when he came to Manchester.”
This news hits just as the first Rogue One trailer went viral toward the end of last week.
Take a look at it below:
We can’t thank Baker enough for his contributions to the most beloved film franchise in history.
We hope he is resting in peace.
The same, of course, goes for all of the celebrities who have passed away this year.
Here is a rundown of the most notable deaths:
