In her convention speech, Rose addressed the topic of race, saying that "Donald Trump and his supporters don't care if you're Black, white, gay or straight, it's all love. And that's when it hit me. These are my people, this is where I belong."
Who is Chris Janson? Meet the country singer and conservative
Janson is a country singer and conservative brainchild behind the new song "All American Guy." He is also known for the songs "Buy Me a Boat," "Fix a Drink" and "Done." He took the stage at the RNC, continuing his years of convention appearances.
In 2016, he joined the convention's house band at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland to sing a version of Tim McGraw's "Truck Yeah" entitled "Trump Yeah." In 2012, Janson and LoCash helped write "Truck Yeah" for McGraw. Last year, he told the USA TODAY Network in a Nashville Tennessean feature about his work in country music.
"For most Americans, those values of family, God, and our local communities are not just what country music is all about — they're alluring to all of us," he told the Tennessean.
Who is Lee Greenwood? Meet the 'God Bless The U.S.A.' singer and RNC mainstay
Greenwood of "God Bless The U.S.A." fame is a staunch conservative in the Nashville music circuit. On Tuesday, Greenwood graced the stage and sang once again at the Republican National Convention with fellow Tennesseans Sixwire.
Greenwood sang his song "Holdin' a Good Hand" after already using his well known hit "God Bless the U.S.A." on Monday when Trump made his first public appearance since a shooting at his Pennsylvania rally that left him and two others injured, and another man dead.
