Always Dreaming won the Kentucky Derby but country stars like Travis Tritt and Jerrod Niemann did alright too. They are but just two who dressed up for the 2017 run for the roses.
Travis Tritt is tired of hearing his fellow stars weigh in on politics in public. In a series of tweets early Monday morning (Jan. 9) after Meryl Streep excoriated President-elect Donald Trump during her speech at the Golden Globe Awards, the singer advised celebrities to stick to their crafts and "leave politics to the politicians."
Travis Tritt was not a big fan of Beyonce's performance at the 2016 CMA Awards, to put it mildly. The country star turned to Twitter to post a string of observations about how poor a fit he felt it was for a country audience, as well as the motives behind the appearance.
