Sheryl Crow is opening up about the struggles of living in the red state of Tennessee as a liberal progressive.

In a new interview, the 63-year-old “All I Wanna Do” singer shared a scary story when an armed man appeared on her property shortly after she sold her Tesla in protest of Elon Musk using DOGE to cut what she considers government services.

“So yeah, there was a moment where I actually really felt very afraid: A man got on my property, in my barn, who was armed,” she continued. “It doesn’t feel safe when you’re dealing with people who are so committed.”

Sheryl has lived in Tennessee for over 20 years after re-locating from Los Angeles following her breast cancer diagnosis and split from Lance Armstrong.

While she loved raising her kids in the South, Sheryl admitted she’s starting to really struggle WITH living in the conservative state.

“Tennessee is a hard place for me. I mean, I struggle,” Sheryl shared. “I call my representatives [in Congress] every single morning — Andy Ogles and Marsha Blackburn hear from me every day — because we have to stand up and be vocal and fight for the future for our kids…I do think, ‘Are they laughing?”

“But it’s like what Jimmy Carter said: As long as there’s legal bribery, we won’t ever have fair elections,” she continued. “So we have to keep raising our voices and showing up to these organized rallies.”

In another recent interview, Sheryl explained why she turned down being a coach on The Voice.
