<div>County fairs often signal the end of summer to kids and adults alike. The headline performance at the Wayne County fair was Scotty McCreery, a country music artist who, according to Spotify, has 4.5 million monthly listeners and most streamed song “Five More Minutes” which has 247 million listens on Spotify. The concert was on July 26, 2025, at the Wayne County fairgrounds. The venue was to be expected for a county fair concert, which to be honest, was not as terrible as many would think. The aesthetic of the dusty, dirt filled arena fit the vibe of a country concert. The main act of Scotty McCreary was all together a very underwhelming concert. It had a mix of his music from classical country to rock music. One of the songs that was played at the concert was Tom Petty’s “Won’t Back Down” which from the audience’s reactions, took the song as a pro second amendment and were pointing finger guns at others. For people who are a fan of Tom Petty know it is meant to be a song about perseverance. The song was written a little bit after a house fire Petty had experienced at his own house, which is what inspired Petty. To see it more twisted for gun rights and standing your ground felt off. What lead to this article was when McCreary sang his new song called “Swim Up Bar” a song that McCreary wrote at a resort in Mexico being served booze by “Latinas speaking Spanglish” and looking into the “Gulf of America” and many people in the crowd mostly consisted of white dudes in boots and cowboy hats. It just felt off to be singing how much McCreary loved Mexico yet talking about how it’s the Gulf of America in a crowd that included Hispanics just felt like it was a slap in the face to the Hispanic community. It really felt like McCreary was just pandering to the Nebraskan people and how McCcreary loved Nebraska because of “us God loving farmers who work hard.” The concert was a solid four out of ten. While the music fit the venue very well, the artist itself is what tanked the score. It felt like the show wasn’t a man sharing his love of country music and “American values.” It was more like the show was just there to get a paycheck and to sell merch. McCreary also just had no energy or life to the performance. If McCreary just wanted to sell me something, no need to charge 25 dollars when Twitter or Fox is free. </div>
