\n\tThe country singer-songwriter took to her Instagram on Thursday, telling fans that she initially accepted the opportunity thinking it was a nonpartisan event.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI would like to talk to you and clear the air,\u201d she wrote. \u201cI will not be performing at the Great American State Fair on June 25th. I was presented with an opportunity to perform at a nonpartisan event but that turned out to be misleading. I asked lots of questions and was assured this was a nonpartisan event that was meant to celebrate ALL 50 states. In my mind I thought this was a great way to celebrate the states and also bring people together in the way that only music can. I saw it as just a bigger version of so many state fairs I have performed at over the years, celebrating community and what makes each state special. Sounds fun, right? Wholesome even. Yesterday things started changing and what we were told is, in fact, not what is happening.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMcBride continued, \u201cI\u2019ve spent my entire career singing songs about real people with real issues. I\u2019ve been blessed with the opportunity to be a voice for those who have felt like they didn\u2019t have one. It greatly upsets me that any fan who has been moved by my music may now feel like I\u2019m abandoning the meaning behind those songs. I assure you, that is not the case. I appreciate every single fan who has reached out. I hope to get back to the DC area very soon.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe \u201cIndependence Day\u201d singer\u2019s exit from the event comes after Young MC, Morris Day and the Commodores also pulled out. Milli Vanilli singer Jodie Rocco also questioned their inclusion on the list, previously saying that no member of the group had been consulted about a performance.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Great American State Fair, a 16-day event running from June 25 to July 10 on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., to celebrate America\u2019s 250th birthday, was organized by the president\u2019s organization Freedom 250.<\/p>\n
