Country singer Kacey Musgraves caused quite a stir earlier this week at a concert in Texas when she called Christopher Columbus “lame” and “a loser.”
“Obviously f— Columbus. Literally the lamest person to probably ever exist. Like for real. What a loser,” she said to an incensed crowd when discussing the national holiday this past Monday.
While Musgraves’ comments received both praise and backlash, one country music legend took exception to the vulgar remarks.

Wynonna Judd joined Tomi Lahren on her show, “Tomi Lahren is Fearless,” and when the subject of Musgraves and her anti-Columbus rant was broached, Lahren’s guest did not hold back.
“She has the right to do that,” Judd told Lahren. “But that doesn’t mean it’s the right thing.”

“My grandmother would’ve had a fit,” she added.

Judd revealed that she lives by the thought process of “what would Dolly [Parton] do” when it comes to keeping her beliefs to herself.
Much like Parton, Judd lets her actions speak louder than her words, and one of the causes closest to her heart is helping military service members.
When people take her love for our troops and try to tie it to a certain political belief, the country music star says it hurts her.
