Chase Rice caught backlash on social media after sharing a video of people flocking to his most recent concert with seemingly no regard for social distancing amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The country singer shared a video of his show at Tennessee’s Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary concert venue over the weekend, which marked one of the first times he’s been back on stage since the pandemic forced new guidelines on large gatherings. The video shows thousands of attendees crowded around the stage cheering and singing along. However, the company that owns the Tennessee venue, Brushy Mountain Group, told Fox News that, despite appearances, it was complying with local requirements on social distancing. In the U.S., all 50 states plus the District of Columbia have reported confirmed cases of COVID-19, tallying more than 2,549,069 illnesses and at least 125,803 deaths.
