In recent years, country music duo Florida Georgia Line made headlines not just for their chart-topping hits, but also for the surprising announcement of their hiatus in 2022. Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley, the faces behind the hit group, revealed that they would be taking a break from their music partnership, sparking speculation and rumors among fans. As the dust settled, Tyler Hubbard began to make his political views known, causing further controversy and dividing opinions among his fanbase.
Former band member Brian Kelley, on the other hand, took a different route and decided to delve into politics in a more public manner. He announced his appearance at the 2024 Republican National Convention, hinting at a possible future in politics. This move only added fuel to the fire of speculation surrounding the reasons behind Florida Georgia Line's breakup. Tyler Hubbard claimed in interviews that Brian Kelley was the one who initiated the split, while Kelley maintained his own stance on the matter.
One of the most talked-about moments in the aftermath of the breakup was when Brian Kelley teased a new song titled 'Make America Great Again.' Scheduled for release on July 26th, the song stirred up a mix of reactions, with some praising Kelley's bold move and others criticizing it. Tyler Hubbard, on the other hand, chose to address the breakup and his political beliefs in separate interviews, shedding light on his side of the story.
