Country music artist Hardy shared some strong words for people who criticize America.
Videos of the 34-year-old musician started circulating on social media following a performance over the weekend in Knoxville, Tennessee. The “Truck Bed” singer opened for Morgan Wallen during the two-day set that included Eric Church, Darius Rucker, and Miranda Lambert.
Hardy introduced his song “God’s Country,” which he co-wrote with Blake Shelton, by discussing his feelings about his homeland and those who hate being here.
“Especially this year with all the crazy sh** going on, I see a lot of people posting and talking sh** about living in the United States of America and being a United States citizen,” Hardy began. “And to that I say, ‘f*** you,’” he continued as the crowd erupted into cheers and applause.

“If you don’t like living here, then go f***ing live somewhere else, motherf***er. The United States is the greatest country on this planet, period. … I’m damn proud to live in this country, I’m damn proud of it.”
He went on, “We’ve got people that work their f***in’ a** off every day of their life, put their life on the f***ing line so we can go to concerts in Neyland Stadium… and that’s a country I like to call ‘God’s Country.’”

Hardy, whose full name is Michael Wilson Hardy, was born in Mississippi and got his start in country music by helping write songs for some big-name acts, including Florida Georgia Line, Chris Lane, Blake Shelton, Dallas Smith, Thomas Rhett, and Morgan Wallen. His latest album, “The Mockingbird & the Crow,” reached the top of the country music charts in 2023.
The singer’s best-known singles are “Truck Bed,” “Wait in the Truck,” “Give Heaven Some Hell,” and “One Beer.”
Hardy’s pro-America declaration comes shortly after rap artist Macklemore was called out for encouraging the crowd at his Seattle concert to chant, “F*** America,” as The Daily Wire previously reported.
Macklemore started the chant before debuting a song called “Hinds Hall 2,” which contains anti-Semitic rhetoric. It all took place at the “Palestine Will Live Forever Festival.”
