They just don’t want to get involved in the circus
The Trump campaign famously had difficulty finding artists willing to perform at his 2017 inauguration. Classical crossover singer Jackie Evancho sang “The Star Spangled Banner.” And “America the Beautiful” was led by the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square. A separate concert before the inauguration featured 3 Doors Down, Toby Keith, Lee Greenwood and others on.
“Even if you’re a Trump supporter, you have to look at how he deals with the media [und] the public, how he attacks and distorts things. I think there’s a fear of talking to him about things and working with him,” music manager Ken Levitan told the at the time Rolling Stones. “I know that some of the very conservative ones [Künstler] don’t feel like it. … [Sie] just don’t want to get caught up in the circus – it’s a media circus, and not necessarily in a good way.
