A hear ago, a Reba McEntire duet was being called a Trump anthem. Now, speaking with a gay outlet, Reba calls bullshit on that interpretation ...

Getting back to music, your song "Back to God," which originally appeared on your "Sing It Now: Songs of Faith & Hope" released in early 2017 and now on "My Kind of Christmas" as an acoustic duet with Lauren Daigle, was being associated with President Donald Trump by his supporters upon in its release. I mention that because I grew up trying to reconcile being a gay man with my Catholic upbringing, and that was really a struggle for me because I didn't know which I should choose or if I had to choose. So now, when I see a song like "Back to God" being politicized, I think of LGBT children who don't side with the president but seek comfort from a song like "Back to God." How do you feel about your song being politicized in that way when it can potentially alienate gay fans?

I think that's ridiculous.

But there really are memes and articles saying "Back to God" is essentially a Trump anthem.

No, no. It wasn't at all. (The lyric) "give this world back to God" means we've got troubles, we've got things going on, people are worrying, people are trying to solve problems themselves. If they gave their problems and their worries up to the Lord, he will take care of him and you'll have a peace that you've never experienced in your life.

How anybody took that and politicized that is beyond my imagination. It's totally a faith song. Faith-based, and of hope and of faith and looking for a better way of dealing with the stuff that's going on. And my way of dealing with it is giving it to the Lord.
