The artist who pulled out of a performance at the Kennedy Center after Donald Trump slapped his name on the storied arts institution is being lauded by fans for her decision.
Kristy Lee, a folk singer from Mobile, Alabama, told fans in a statement that she couldnt sleep at night if she went through with her performance at the former John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts, which was scheduled for Jan. 14.
When American history starts getting treated like something you can ban, erase, rename, or rebrand for somebody elses ego, I cant stand on that stage and sleep right at night, Lee shared with her 42,000 Facebook followers on Monday.
Her cancellation came after the White House announced Thursday that the John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts would be renamed to include Trumps name following a vote by the venues board, which is now stacked with MAGA loyalists.
