When Blake Shelton Made Harsh Remarks on Ray Price’s Music
Blake Shelton is an American singer and is also a judge on The Voice. Ray Price was a legendry American singer known for his classic songs. The feud arose when Shelton remarked about Ray’s music, “Nobody wants to listen to their grandpa’s music. And I don’t care how many of these old farts are around Nashville going, ‘My God, that ain’t country!’ Well, that’s because you don’t buy records anymore. The kids do, and they don’t want to buy the music you were buying.”

That was in 2013. Price handled the issue by posting a long, mature comeback online. Later, Shelton responded with an apology, saying, “I absolutely have no doubt I could have worded it better (as always ha!), and I apologize to Mr. Price and any other heroes of mine that it may offend.” Thankfully, the differences were settled before Price passed away.
