First Lady Jill Biden will travel to Tennessee for a purported “political event” reportedly occurring at the home of country music star Brad Paisley.
According to press reports citing a White House media advisory, the First Lady is expected to land in Nashville on Friday afternoon for an unspecified “political event” that will take place in Franklin.
WSMV 4 reported that the media advisory revealed Biden will land in Nashville at 3:30 p.m., but revealed, “It’s unclear from the media advisory what event” she will attend.
A separate report by The Tennessee Lookout seems to indicate the political event Biden plans to attend will be “an event at country music star Brad and Kim Paisley’s home to join country music influencers before potential endorsements of President Biden.”
Though the White House has not confirmed the event at the Paisley home, President Joe Biden and the First Lady have benefited from their relationship with the country music star.
Jill Biden was joined by the artist at a vaccine site in Nashville in 2021, where the duo promoted the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccines at an event that featured a speech by the First Lady and brief musical performance by Paisley.
Paisley would later perform for the Bidens and their guests in the East Room of the White House in 2023.
It was later reported by The Guardian that the audience was bipartisan, and Paisley performed for about 40 minutes and changed a line in one of his songs to include a reference to the Ukrainian flag, prompting fierce applause by Joe Biden.
Paisley also performed his new song, Same Here, which features Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky speaking to the artist in a recorded video call in its official release.
Despite his apparent close relationship with the Biden family, after the 2016 election, Paisley expressed optimism the United States could move past the tumultuous election, declaring to PEOPLE that he was “really sick of this climate” and “really sick of the negativity.”
“When you see Obama and Trump shake hands, and seem to show respect to one another — that is what we need,” Paisley told the outlet in 2016.
The rumor the Biden campaign is actively attempting to secure endorsements from country music artists comes amid intense speculation that Taylor Swift is planning to endorse the president prior to the November elections.

We are originally from WV, I think B. Paisley comes to WVU each year to perform @ a football game. I was so very surprised to read that he is supporting a person like Biden @ the DEMS. Didn’t realize that the McGraws do as well. I also remember that Garth Brooks & Wife refused to perform at Trump’s inauguration. We will quit listening to all of them, supporting them, etc. We all lost one great patriot & lover of America, Toby Keith. He would be sooo disappointed to hear this. There is nothing that Biden or his party brings to America other than misery & communism.
Wow……had no idea the Paisleys would lean this way. Indeed sad and disappointing. No longer circulating that music at my home….albums, etc off to the dumpster. Adios. But yeah….thanks for letting real Americans know…………
I’m so happy these liberal musicians are showing their true colors. Now we can make certain we don’t support their views on abortion, men in women’s sports, child sex trafficking, porno books in grade school libraries, drag queen shows for children —IOW everything needed fir the downfall of our great country. Way to go Brad and Kim.
Gee Brad, you can travel all the way to Ukraine but avoid the Texas border? Real patriot you are. Oh, and how many times did you entertain the troops or express sorrow for those Biden got killed in the Afghanistan pull out? Yep, you can support Joe and Jill cause their policies don’t affect you. For the rest of us however, it’s a different story. We’re the ones who deploy, (military) have to arrest illegals (police) or else worry about the rising tide of crime coming across the border. Sadly enough country music has been embracing extreme-left leaning views for a long time. Brad, Dolly, Willie, Faith, Garth, the list is long and growing. They all made great music but fame took them away from their fans. If you’re tired of their politics, then stop going to their concerts.
When you’re a Celebrity , it’s adious reality!,
and here i thought paisley had better sense
Brad Paisley so disappointing as is liberals Tim and Faith. How and why can they support the demorats?
Sad…..just sad…….
ANY country artist that joins this circus they call the Biden administration, will quickly find out they are dead meat, moving forward. The people have had enough of this banana republic. Any artist still wanting to be part of it will soon find out what “career-ending” really means.
I am done with Brad Paisley. He goes into the same boat with Tim McGraw and Faith Hill.
I do not support people who are against my core values.
