Allison Russell Calls Out ‘Bigotry’ From Tennessee’s GOP for Blocking a Resolution Honoring Her Grammy Win
Allison Russell slams "bigotry" from the Tennessee GOP after a resolution honoring her first Grammy win was blocked. See what she said here.
On Monday (Feb. 12), Tennessee Democratic Rep. Justin Jones criticized the House Republican Caucus Chair Jeremy Faison for blocking a resolution he proposed to honor Russell for her first win at the Grammys. In protest of the Tennessee legislature passing these anti-LGBTQ laws, Russell helped organize Love Rising, a benefit concert for the LGBTQ community that took place at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on March 20. “It’s people like Hayley [Williams] taking a red-eye flight to come back from opening for Taylor Swift, because she said she’d rather die than not be there to support the trans and drag community in Tennessee,” she said.
