Kane Brown’s Dallas Cowboys Thanksgiving Day Performance (A Rant)
Can we not get through even one nationally-televised event that touts itself as featuring “country music” without actual country fans having to hang their heads in shame, and explain vociferously to their friends and family that when they self-identify as a country listener, they don’t mean that kind of country music ?!?
Kane Brown took center field at AT&T Stadium on Thanksgiving Day to perform a medley of his hit during the halftime of the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Football Team game, and no, it wasn’t the expired cream cheese in the pumpkin pie that had folks hurling up giblets, it was the prancing wanker lip syncing at the 50-yard-line.
“Hey, if you don’t like it just turn it off!”
What, and miss all the unintended comedy?
Kane Brown started off by singing a snippet of his song “Worldwide Beautiful,” which is all about finding the beauty in diversity enveloped in a message of inclusion and acceptance. And yes, for a brief, gorgeous moment, all political and racial strife in America melted away, and everyone was brought together as one in the collective wonderment of what kind of fresh hell was unfolding on our television screens.
“Hey, I have that jacket!” my 9-year-old niece chirped at our socially-distanced Thanksgiving gathering when Kane Brown came out awash in sparkles, and even she could deduce that Kane Brown was performing at night when it was still broad-ass daylight in Texas. They didn’t disclose performance was pre-recorded (sure, COVID was probably the culprit), but perhaps the timeline incongruity was meant to draw your attention away from the lip-syncing and indolent choreography that only 15-year-old girls and meth heads from Tuscaloosa would find appealing.
“Hey, but it was for a good cause! It was to launch the Salvation Army’s Red Kettle campaign!”
Yeah, how about I just drop a Hamilton in the bucket just to have Kane Brown go the hell away, and we can forgo all the Godawful pop histrionics and national embarrassment? Booking Kane Brown for the annual Thanksgiving halftime is like inviting a positive communicable case of COVID-19 over for your holiday festivities. This is a dude that literally that got so lost on his own property a few months ago, he had to call the cops to rescue him.
People were worried that abortion would become illegal when Amy Coney Barrett ascended to the Supreme Court of the United States? We’ll we got to witness one right out in the open on the field of play and in front of a national audience on Thursday, November 26th, 2020. And no, I’m not talking about the bungled fake punt by the Dallas Cowboys in the 4th quarter that sealed the game for Washington.
Next year get Cody Jinks, or someone with some actual ties to the Dallas area, or Texas, or cowboys, or country music, or just something that’s good. Get a damn juggler or ventriloquist. Anything else but this. Kane Brown can get lost.

“Hey, if you don’t like it just turn it off!”
I hear this a lot, and my response is, “Well, I do, but I can’t do that when I go into Whataburger or Bill Miller’s here in San Antonio and that toxic waste is blaring from the speakers.”
November 27, 2020 @ 1:12 pm
This is a true statement about Whataburger and Bill Miller’s.
November 27, 2020 @ 6:00 pm
Yup. I put up with it for the tasty food.
Fortunately they both deliver. 😀

The University of Texas is the most overrated and underachieving program in the history of college football. How about yall address that before you piss and moan about Kane Brown for a 100th time? They’re like the Carrie Underwood of college football, getting plenty of radio play for no apparent reason. They just got beat by Iowa State at home.
And Trigg, you misspelled Redskins in your article there.

I’ll address what I feel like addressing. I’m not a sports ball kinda guy. (But if people are, good for them. Let people enjoy things, and all that.) I don’t give a shit about UT football, or A&M football, or even Lamar University football.
November 27, 2020 @ 10:30 pm
look we all know Dan Snyder and the Washington “Football Team” are the biggest blowhards in sports rn but you can’t deny they aren’t called the Redskins anymore and he’s just being factually honest by using that stupid name
If he said Redskins it’d probably start a flame war when the only person who should be getting flamed is Kane Brown

November 27, 2020 @ 4:09 pm
Or Texas Roadhouse. I miss when their jukeboxes had plenty of 90’s country. Now it’s mostly all the newer crap from the past decade.
November 27, 2020 @ 6:02 pm
That’s a shame! I don’t remember what all they were playing the last time I was in the Texas Roadhouse.
But I blame the alcohol. I drank a lot that night…
December 5, 2020 @ 8:50 pm
Worst was Texas Steakhouse when they stopped playing country and went to pop and jazz and even some rock. I couldn’t go back after that. The decor and environment did not connect anywhere or anyway with the sound. And I’m a coffee snob I will readily admit but they started bringing coffee to the table in a french press too and that was too much. Don’t know what millennial fool they hired but I never went back. Most of their locations closed pre-covid. Gee wonder why that is? Let’s try to connect with a different demographic to raise sales 5% and piss off 80% of our customers in the process.
November 27, 2020 @ 12:16 pm
What does Tuscaloosa have to do with literally anything? Oklahoma has just as bad a meth problem as anywhere else in the country if not worse.
November 27, 2020 @ 1:48 pm
Tuscaloosa is my home town, so I’ll shout out a big “Roll Tide” to all the Tuscaloosans out there !
November 27, 2020 @ 12:24 pm
This year I’m thankful to not be related to the doe-eyed 15 year old meth heads that will soon be gracing us with their presence.
November 27, 2020 @ 12:29 pm
Is it wrong that a small sliver of me actually wishes this race to the bottom in mainstream so-called country music lasts forever? I don’t know what I would do without being able to read roasts like this, some of which have made me nearly spit out my coffee laughing over the last twelve years I have come to this site.
Personally, I gave up hope for mainstream country music a long time ago. But I guess I need to accentuate the positives in order to keep my sanity in this day and age.
November 29, 2020 @ 9:49 pm
So in essence, you want everything to be like it was in the past ‘just because’?
November 27, 2020 @ 12:32 pm
What a hot steaming mess that whole thing was. Juvenile, nursery rhyme lyrics, lip synced inanity, and couldn’t even do it live.
Oh well, that being the case, no actual country music was presented or represented, I say no harm no foul. Just really awful C minus pop music. If you can categorize it music. Maybe categorize it as really amateur performance art. Then again, that would imply it was artful…
November 27, 2020 @ 12:44 pm
“a medley of his hit” LOL was that a typo or a jab? If the latter it was good.
Yeah, and it was bad, even for a lip-sync. Pro tip: if you’re gonna lip sync, practice so you stay in sync.
November 27, 2020 @ 1:10 pm
LOL- I caught that too
December 2, 2020 @ 4:09 am
Being (blissfully? – I guess Trig would think so) ignorant of Mr. Brown’s body of work I wasn’t entirely sure if it was a typo or a joke, but I took it as one and had a little laugh to myself.
November 27, 2020 @ 9:04 pm
I don’t know if it was intentional, but Townes Van Zandt used that joke, when introducing “Pancho and Lefty”. Of course, he was a little better than Kane
November 27, 2020 @ 1:04 pm
I hate him.
November 27, 2020 @ 1:08 pm
I like how they brought out that pop country princess for just 15 seconds.
What an embarrassment for country music. All the football forums I belong to were ruthlessly mocking the performance.
November 27, 2020 @ 1:13 pm
Hard to believe Cowboys would be mentioned as a laughing stock in the 90s along with someone garbage as Kane Brown
November 27, 2020 @ 1:15 pm

November 27, 2020 @ 1:18 pm
I’m not a heavy drinker, but I drank 32 cans of bud light and 15 shots of JD yesterday just so I could be sure that I would blackout and not remember the performance. And sure enough, it worked!
November 28, 2020 @ 12:30 am
Hey Buck, 14 bottles of Killian’s Red and 12 shots of Jameson would have probably knocked you out quicker! (I have nothing at all against either Bud Light or JD, by the way)
November 28, 2020 @ 8:37 am
Yeah you’re absolutely right. I went with the bud though because it gives me less of a hangover.
November 27, 2020 @ 1:23 pm
Wasn’t paying attention, so I missed that it was pre-recorded, but I did notice the lip-syncing. And funny you mention Cody, I was saying the same thing to the wife. He’s a perfect fit, and would put on a hell of a show.

November 27, 2020 @ 2:32 pm
Well the could have booked a real country tradition, artist who would have been better. I refer to some e like Scotty McCreary to Tony Jackson. I could not even watch it. Yes, I am a traditional country music lover and supporter. Understand some other folks have other opinions.
November 27, 2020 @ 2:59 pm
to take a page from the dixie chicks’ playbook ..as a musician and songwriter I’m ashamed to say that Bieber , Weekend and Drake are from Canada . the drivel those guys are putting out is just infantile , self-centred and forgettable trend and yet its being awarded , downloaded , streamed , and generally praised left and right by the business . when I see those ”lyrics” on a page all I can conclude is that the end must surely be nigh for REAL music in the mainstream .and don’t get me started on the complete lack of REAL players on these music ‘tracks ‘. IMO kane brown is merle haggard compared to what THESE Canadian posers are cranking out . granted that isn’t saying diddly but it makes my point , I think . these are not 4 things to be grateful for in this season of giving thanks .
November 27, 2020 @ 8:26 pm
Fellow Canadian here, and I too am embarrassed that any of those clowns are Canadian; but at least we have dozens of phenomenal artists as well.
November 27, 2020 @ 10:05 pm
we do indeed have many many talented artists here and seeing this kind of praise for THIS crap makes it that much more frustrating when REAL Canadian artists barely get by in this country ….particularly with the clubs and venues shutdown
November 30, 2020 @ 10:38 pm
Albert, these guys (well, more Bieber than the other two) hasn’t done any albums in quite a while, so your bitching is unwarranted.
As for the Canadian industry not recognizing real talent, well, radio’s to blame for this state of affairs, with the root cause of it all being this 1996 act that gave us the pop music deluge we’re all drowning in now (and yes, Canada’s also affected, as per this statement by the father of the current prime minister when he was prime minister-how else did you think Justin Bieber and the rest of the popcrastacy became popular and displace what we had in the ’90’s?). We as North Americans need to take our radio back, and have it utterly re-regulated so that we can get genuine country and rock music back on commercial radio.
November 29, 2020 @ 10:31 am
Matthew Good!
November 30, 2020 @ 10:43 pm
He’s great, but like everybody else from the 1990’s in Canada and elsewhere, he got pushed aside by the pop ‘revolution’ (deluge) caused by the American Communications Act of 1996 that I mentioned in my response to albert above.
December 2, 2020 @ 4:19 am
My Go-to artist for Canadian music is Gordon Lightfoot, I’m afraid. I don’t really listen to anything more up-to-date than that. 🙂
Though I did see Bare Naked Ladies live once. They put on a fantastic show. It was at a free festival sponsored by a beer company too (where the only beer available was their horrible dishwater/urine hybrid), so it didn’t cost me a penny!
November 27, 2020 @ 10:48 pm
What’s your problem with the Wkend? I rather like him. Agree that Bieber is horrible, though…
November 28, 2020 @ 8:43 am
I don’t care if those clowns are making music, I just wish people would listen to Corb Lund or Gordon Lightfoot instead (them and any of the countless other great Canadian artists, they were just the first two I thought of)
November 28, 2020 @ 9:05 am
Lindi Ortega, Whitney Rose and Colter Wall are phenomenal and 100% country!
November 28, 2020 @ 10:39 am
I seriously don’t think the Wkend is a clown, he’s a good songwriter. And just in general, not big on hardcore rap but I like soft rap where it is incorporated in a pop, country, or dance song so he is right up my alley….
November 29, 2020 @ 2:14 pm
Hey, to each their own.
December 3, 2020 @ 5:46 am
There’s more to current Canadian music than just Gordon Lightfoot (and not all Canadians-including [younger] people of color-are going to care about him, either); to that end, here’s a great place to find current Canadian music that isn’t pop.
Oh yeah, one other thing; you and a lot of older (and younger) white people need to have it seriously explained to you about your automatically assuming that other people must like Gordon Lightfoot, or any other white person singer/songwriter/music group;this psychologist’s article on on how people perceive music and cultural assumptions about types of music will help, a lot.
December 6, 2020 @ 12:20 pm
Why do you bring race into this? Blacks, whites, browns, reds, towels can all like Gordon Lightfoot, if they don’t, then I would question their taste. You are trying to divide us based on race. Who cares if he’s white? He’s a phenomenal songwriter, singer and musician. I guess he has to wear blackface on a regular basis to be considered a good person in your book, eh, Lefty?
November 28, 2020 @ 8:44 am
Our “prime minister” is also a laughing stock, so that’s another thing I’m embarrassed about.
December 3, 2020 @ 5:50 am
Our prime minister is a success, and a better leader than the neocon moron that you and other people love that was his predecessor, as well as being better than the neocon moron that tried to be PM in the last election, and the neocon moron that was POTUS for the past four years in the United States.
Get a life, get a clue, and stop being so ignorant of actual progress made under Justin Trudeau.
December 3, 2020 @ 9:39 am
You keep using that word. I don’t think it means what you think it means.
— Inigo Montoya
December 6, 2020 @ 12:16 pm
I assume that “neocon” is Stephen Harper, who I didn’t like very much. If you still support Justin Trudeau at this point, you either haven’t paid attention to anything in the past four years, or you have something fundamentally wrong with you. SNC alone should’ve alienated 90% of his voters.
December 1, 2020 @ 10:23 am
this is a recent ‘weeknd’ lyric. if someone told me it was the first song written by a 9 year old with their new birthday guitar I would believe them .
I’ve been tryna call
I’ve been on my own for long enough
Maybe you can show me how to love, maybe
I’m going through withdrawals
You don’t even have to do too much
You can turn me on with just a touch, baby
I look around and
Sin City’s cold and empty
No one’s around to judge me
I can’t see clearly when you’re gone
I said, ooh, I’m blinded by the lights
No, I can’t sleep until I feel your touch
I said, ooh, I’m drowning in the night
Oh, when I’m like this, you’re the one I trust
Hey, hey, hey
I’m running out of time
‘Cause I can see the sun light up the sky
So I hit the road in overdrive, baby, oh
The city’s cold and empty
No one’s around to judge me
I can’t see clearly when you’re gone
I said, ooh, I’m blinded by the lights
No, I can’t sleep until I feel your touch
I said, ooh, I’m drowning in the night
Oh, when I’m like this, you’re the one I trust
I’m just calling back to let you know
I could never say it on the phone
Will never let you go this time
December 4, 2020 @ 1:37 pm
Wait; are you saying that there are other Canadian artists besides Ian Tyson? I had no idea!
December 4, 2020 @ 3:48 pm
yup ……I’m saying there are lots of GREAT Canadian artists besides Ian…. unfortunately mainstream defines ‘artist ‘ differently than websters.

I hate he was even let in doors of the Country Music Hall Fame for their one big night special a few weeks ago. Let alone got to play Randy Travis’ guitar.
November 30, 2020 @ 6:19 pm
Yes, and while every other artist had come dressed in attire that showed respect for the occasion, Kane Brown just wore sweats.
November 27, 2020 @ 4:04 pm
Hey your not listening. Iits country music. He had fiddles and banjos
November 27, 2020 @ 7:57 pm
That was sacrilege.
November 27, 2020 @ 5:05 pm
Jesus Christ,
Y’all need to get a life. Getting all bent out of shape because one dude is considered country. Now I get it, the dude isn’t country, but, if it gets younger generations more into actual country music, I’m all about it. And I guarantee that Kane Brown doesn’t give a crap what any of us on the internet has to say about him. Neither does the NFL, Fox, or country music executives today.
November 27, 2020 @ 6:26 pm
… but, if it gets younger generations more into actual country music, I’m all about it….
It doesn’t.
November 27, 2020 @ 7:03 pm
Kane Brown, much like his contemporaries, makes what can best be described as “country music for people who don’t like country music.” He’s not going to be bringing people to the genre that are going to appreciate the likes of Hank Thompson, Merle Haggard, Jason Boland, or even George Strait. Saying Kane Brown is a gateway drug to country music is like saying vegan food is a gateway drug to Texas barbecue.
November 28, 2020 @ 12:34 am
“Saying Kane Brown is a gateway drug to country music is like saying vegan food is a gateway drug to Texas barbecue.”
Lol nice!! Very very nice!!!
November 27, 2020 @ 7:16 pm
without a word of a lie , I personally go out of my way to ensure REAL country music has a voice in my own social circles . i always played REAL country at gigs ( when we could do gigs ) ,my family and friends ( especially nieces , nephews and younger acquaintances ) get word from me about every new COUNTRY act I hear about . when I hear about the kane browns , the rhetts etc from any of them I ALWAYS ( diplomatically )make it clear to them that what they are listening to is another genre of music …it is not COUNTRY . I don’t put them down..I just make that fact clear to them and will often send them a link or suggest an act who IS country .
sure that may sound over-the-top to someone not as concerned about saving this art form .
but as I’ve said so many times …..if they started making jazz music with synths , drum machines , hand claps and finger snaps and kept calling it jazz music you can bet there’d be some serious flack from REAL jazz musicians who know that the foundation of the music is heart , feel , emotion , interaction of the musicians live or in the studio , traditional voices of many REAL instruments , and , where it applies , incredibly well-crafted timeless lyrics .
whatever kane brown does musically is not in question here. the concern is when he and others call this COUNTRY music and insult our musical intelligence while confusing a younger listener . the marketers and the media have found a way to cash in on an artform’s name and hallmarks by stealing that name to promote something very different . the easiest analogy , and one that has been used many many times here and elsewhere , is ordering steak at a restaurant and having them serve you fish . defending the fish as being steak .
if we can agree that the carpenters , joan baez and stevie wonder are NOT rock n roll and were never called that , surely we can agree than kane brown , thomas rhett and keith urban are NOT COUNTRY acts no matter what their labels , their advertising promotions and the radio /streaming service tries to tell you . but as long as we accept their definitions of country music we deny exposure , airplay and income to ACTUAL COUNTRY artists and musicians . Simple .
November 30, 2020 @ 6:35 pm
Maybe you don’t think that the abovementioned by you are actual rock, but guess what? They are part of rock music, and some of them have even been accepted into The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame. All three of them are mentioned in this guide and in the case of the first mentioned, are reviewed favorably contrasted to how the subject publication being blasted in the guide reviewed them. So your rock-only purity isn’t working.
As for what was said earlier, yes, this guy and ones like him aren’t real country.
December 1, 2020 @ 1:14 am
seems to me that the guys calling joan baez and the carpenters rock acts must be the same ones promoting kane and co. as country to the unconcerned masses who don’t know the difference and don’t care .
. i don’t need someone telling me what is or isn’t country . common sense and 50 plus years in the biz tells me that . that same common sense doesn’t have me filing joan baez alongside jeff beck in the rock section of my music collection or merle alongside pavarotti.
December 2, 2020 @ 5:01 am
albert, they’re not the same as those pushing this young man as a country star; they’re just acknowledging that the Carpenters, Joan Baez, and Stevie Wonder are a part of rock; as much as you don’t think they are, they are.
November 29, 2020 @ 11:24 am

November 27, 2020 @ 5:29 pm
After reading Triggers first review of Kane Brown a couple years ago I’ve been fortunate enough to have avoided this guy totally, had never heard as much as 10 seconds of his music until a few days back when he was on Kimmel or Fallon or one of the late night shows I’ve been watching only because of this pandemic. He was performing with some guy named Khalid? and some other guy whose name I didn’t catch and, well I got about that 10 seconds worth in before I could reach the remote and shut it down. How in the hell did we ever get to the point that anyone would remotely consider that hip hop (is that what hip hop is?) drivel country music? It’s worse than I had ever imagined.
November 28, 2020 @ 7:25 pm
Saw that too. Thought it was just another new R&B group; and in that light it was okay. However in this day and age, traditional country is mostly an afterthought used as a stepping stone to Pop stardom. (eg: a certain female blond man eater with an ax to grind). So in the world as it is, with stuff like American Idol and the Voice, manipulated charts and social media and “music executives” this is what passes for “mono-genre” profit making drivel. Traditional fans will just have to stick to non-traditional channels for their fill…how Ironic…
November 29, 2020 @ 12:06 pm
Yes, I was equally unimpressed with that late-night lip-synched performance, which was on, I think, Colbert. On YouTube, the video description mentioned that he was a country artist and the country awards he’d been nominated for, which seemed to confuse people in the comments section who were, apparently, less familiar than we are with “country” artists performing anything but country music.
Kane Brown and his ilk can record whatever they want, but for everyone’s sake, perhaps including their own, they seriously need to stop calling it country. Brown being introduced as a country singer would be like Kim Jong-un being introduced as an American.
November 29, 2020 @ 4:03 pm
“I hate you blowing up my phone
I wish I never met yo ass
Sometimes it be like dat”
Was that the song? I’m not sure what genre it’s supposed to be, lol. Vague reggae beat with a sprinkling of “trap.” Definitely not country. Not hip hop. Not rap. Shitty pop I guess?
November 27, 2020 @ 6:02 pm
My young kids scream and yell when anything even approaching rap comes on the radio. They insist that I turn it off immediately. If my wife flips through the country presets, they exhibit a Pavlovian response when some new rap country comes on. On the other hand, if Merle or Hank, or Waylon comes on, they tell her to stop. My older two are especially fond of western swing and they love Bob Wills and Asleep at the Wheel. How could you not? If you give your kids nothing but McDonald’s burgers, they won’t be able to appreciate a standing rib roast. Either way, F Kane Brown and the Dubscalade he rolled in on…
November 27, 2020 @ 8:13 pm
Why don’t you people get your panties out of a wad. Kane Brown does not have to sing tear jerkin twangy music to be a country singer. He has enough talent to sing different types of music so why is that so bad. I think he is a refreshing change in the music industry and better than most people we hear on every station. Doing different types music is Talent.
November 27, 2020 @ 10:13 pm
”Doing different types music is Talent.”
doing different types of music and calling it country is lying …..or just ignorance. either way ….guilty .
November 28, 2020 @ 3:37 pm
Cardi B deciding to do a country album wouldn’t mean she’d be talented. She’d still suck, she’d just suck in multiple genres.
That said, I think Kane Brown could do real country music if he chose to. He just chooses not to.
November 28, 2020 @ 7:30 am
Perhaps, but the problem is that most of what he sings bears as much resemblance to, say, progressive metal as it does country music — that is to say, none at all.
November 28, 2020 @ 12:22 am
“….a medley of his hit….”
Trigger, was that a type-o? Its still spot on and funny nonetheless!!

Wow, this is a great comment section. A couple of things…
1. UT has sucked since losing to Bama over ten years ago (roll tide).
2. The Cowboys should have the guts to get Cody Jinks to perform. He is Texas! He make quality music and probably is a Cowboys fan.
3. Kane Brown being labeled as country is incorrect and not accurate. The dude could probably make some decent country records, but that is not his intent. So, we have to pretend like he is a “country” superstar. I know his rabid fan base will jump all over people on this site for saying the dude sucks and is not country. We are just close minded, list of name calls, etc. for calling his music what it is….garbage.

If you want to spend 3-4 hours of your life watching millionaires exercise/advertisements I doubt a worse than average half-time show is going to be the dealbreaker.

Well spoken, Ian.
I cannot for the life of me understand what some people get out of seeing functionally-illiterate simpletons chase a ball up and down a field.

Tex, you may not like it, but it’s called SPORTS, and it’s a part of life everywhere on Earth (plus not all of it that’s attended by people is professional.)

Lefty:
Right.
I KNOW there are lots of folks worldwide who, for reasons unknown to me, enjoy watching functionally-illiterate simpletons chase a ball up and down the field. And, the good news for them is that, by any measure, the supply of functionally-illiterate simpletons in recent years seems to be growing exponentially, thus ensuring that there will be no shortages of “talent” on the field . . . or in the bleachers.
Now, excuse me while I get back to

Tex, athletes (North American-style football players in particular) are not ‘functionally-illiterate simpletons’ (take a look at the post-football career of this man and then come back and tell me what you just said and no, I’m not a sports fan.)

Impressive.
One out of thousands.
He has probably raised the average IQ of football players from 68 to 68.000002.

Love the rants. I wish there were more. lol

Even better, since diversity’s the big thing, they need to get all of these Afro-American artists mentioned by you in that article from last year, and have them push aside morons like this guy. Even more better would be finding non-country non-pop artists and groups like this group to perform at these events instead of country pop (or plain pop) artists/groups (starting with local independent indie groups-country and non country-of the city these events are hosted in.)

“Medley of his hit” didn’t go unnoticed by me either! I loved it! Great rant!

“ Medley of my hit “ . This is a line a lot of us used as stage patter when playing gigs . Old musician joke used to great effect in this case Trig.
Nice one! This site and Hard Times are just a saving grace. Stay frosty! Another fellow Canuck .
