Luke Combs Shares His Thoughts On The Political Tension In America

Audio By Carbonatix

Last year Luke Combs released a collaboration with Billy Strings called “The Great Divide” about the current division in our country, and it wasn’t exactly met with a lot of support. At the time, Margo Price called out Luke’s use of the Confederate flag in his videos, which he later apologized for. Well in a new interview, Luke admits he was surprised the backlash he received for the song.

"Everything is so contentious and heated, and that's always been super frustrating to me," he tells “The Independent.” "I think what makes our country great is people's ability to have their own opinions and have the ability to disagree,” adding, “Right now, everyone is just so hot about everything. And that adds to the tension that was going on."

He notes that the song was written about how it’s gotten so bad these days “nobody can even agree to disagree" and while he got backlash for the song, he doesn’t regret it.

"It definitely upset some folks," he says. "But it is what it is. I've never been afraid to stand up for what I think is right."
