Sheryl Crow has revealed that her video about selling her Tesla inspired an armed intruder to break into her Tennessee property.
Crow tells Variety, “This feels different, because when I came out against Walmart carrying guns [in a 1996 song], not everybody was armed -- and certainly I didn’t live in Tennessee, where everybody is armed. 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. It doesn’t feel safe when you’re dealing with people who are so committed.”
When Variety asked if Crow would still post that video if she knew what would happen, she said, “I can’t help it. I feel like I’m fighting for my kids. Also, that’s the way I was raised. There have been times when it hasn’t really been fun, but I follow my Atticus Finch dad; I’m very similar to him if I see something that seems unfair, you know?”
