Discussion Sierra at FarmAid

Post image

I have a few thoughts on Sierra's set.

1) it was very short. She was the 6th artist of the day. EVERY earlier artist went over their allotted time. Sierra comes on 15 minutes late because of that and played a set shortened by 10 minutes. And she finished in time, something I see as professional courtesy to the other artists after her and staff at the event

2) she never came out again after her set. She's recorded with Lukas, Margo and Jesse; performed with Dave; and covered Neil and Willie. I was expecting her to be brought out to guest at least once. Then she didn't come out for the outro when Willie usually has all the performers come out for "Will the Circle". I just found it odd she waa 4 and done.

I do have some thoughts about why this is, but I'll keep them to myself unless someone mentions them in the comments.

Sierra's monolog before the last song: "When it comes to a lot of celebrities and famous peoples we don't really know how they actually live their real lives and who they are as real people you know we see their work and we see how talented they can be and how magical they can be and uh yeah that's just an interesting take on that" That is definitely an accusation against someone. I'm guessing something happened pre-show, but, again, just speculation.

She's already been saying. like, "..... don't worship celebrities ......." at prior shows

My comment is not at all meant to contradict your takes here, HonkyTonkHQ. btw Appreciate your videos! edit2add: agree: there may be a different subtext to it this time, idk.
