In July, country musician Brian Kelley released a single titled "Make America Great Again" on streaming platforms following his performance at the 2024 Republican National Convention, which took place just a week after the assassination attempt on GOP presidential nominee former President Trump.

Kelley has been monitoring Big Tech censorship since the release of the song, and he believes that the low viewership is not an accurate representation of the song's popularity.

Kelley told Planet Chronicle Digital that she found it odd that the "share" button was missing on Apple Music's streaming services.

The issue with the tagged Apple Music on his social media posts was resolved within a day or two.

Kelley remarked, "Perhaps it was an error. Perhaps it was something else, but it shouldn't be that difficult to utilize the same tools I've been using with other songs."

Alexa mistakenly played Brian McKnight instead of Brian Kelley when asked to do so by his band members' wives.

"Kelley said that she loves Brian McKnight because he is great, but it's the really interesting things that make her think and wonder."

Regarding Instagram, Kelley said the positive comments supporting the song are hidden.

"I've never really had that problem," Kelley said.

The singer of "See You Next Summer" stated that he received several comments from fans expressing their inability to share "Make America Great Again" on their platforms.

Instagram did not immediately respond to Planet Chronicle Digital when asked for comment.

""This is nothing new when it comes to Big Tech censorship," Kelley remarked at the end of the day."

Google denied manually altering the search results for the assassination attempt on Trump in late July, as reported by FOX Business.

""We must persist in amplifying our message, standing firm, and fearlessly advocating for our beliefs and values," Kelley emphasized."

According to Kelley, his song was not included in the weekly new releases playlists on Spotify.

"Kelley stated that Spotify won't promote it and won't highlight it."

Kelley acknowledged that Spotify has been "good" to him and has promoted new music, including "Acres," "Kiss My Boots," and "Dirt Road Date Night," which were all playlisted.

According to a source close to Spotify, the song "isn't censored" and, if it were, it would have violated rules and been removed from the platform entirely.

"The source stated that even if a song is not on an artist's preferred playlist, it does not mean it is censored, as it can be easily found at any time."

Spotify declined to comment when Planet Chronicle Digital reached out.

Kelley expressed his gratitude to Trump for posting the music to both Truth Social and Instagram, despite feeling quieted.

"My production manager received a sweet text message from him right before he posted on Truth Social," Kelley said. "It was amazing, felt great, and felt unreal."

According to Kelley, he learned from Trump's friends and staff that the GOP presidential candidate has been repeatedly criticizing it.

The "See You Next Summer" singer is an outspoken Republican and thanks other country musicians like John Rich and Jason Aldean for paving the way for political music.

The country music veteran thanked other musicians such as Jason Aldean, Kid Rock, and John Rich for paving the way for artists to be unapologetic about their politically charged music.

"Kelley stated that seeing Jason, who is quite vocal and patriotic, is made possible by the efforts of those individuals who have paved the way for others to enter with greater ease."
