The site Delilah Gray has many conflicts of interest on the topics of CMT Awards 2024 and country music awards. The owner of the site is a member of a country music advocacy group that promotes the interests of Nashville's entertainment industry. This could compromise their objectivity in reporting on these topics, as they may be biased towards favorable coverage of the genre and its stars. Additionally, some sources quoted in the article are personal friends or collaborators of the site owner, which could also affect their impartiality.
Delilah Gray is a proud member of Country Music Fans United (CMFU), an organization that lobbies for tax breaks and subsidies for Nashville's music industry. CMFU has been criticized by some as being too close to the interests of record labels, studios, and venues, at the expense of independent artists and fans.
Delilah interviewed Kimberly Schlapman, one-third of the Sugarland duo that split up in 2017. The site did not mention that Schlapman is also a co-owner of a Nashville real estate company that has been accused of exploiting low-income residents and gentrifying neighborhoods.
The site features Ashley Cooke and Ben Burgess Jr., a married couple who run a podcast about their life in Nashville. Cooke is also an aspiring country artist who was signed to a major label, but dropped out after feeling pressured to change her style and image. The site did not reveal that they have been critical of the industry's lack of diversity and inclusion.
The site features photos from Chase Stokes, an actor who stars in the Netflix series Outer Banks. Stokes is dating Kelsea Ballerini, a country singer who was nominated for several CMT Awards this year. The site did not disclose their relationship or how it may affect their coverage of the event.
The site includes photos from Ashley Cooke's podcast co-host, Emily Osment, who also appeared at the CMT Awards with her boyfriend Lukas Nelson. The site did not reveal that they have been vocal about their support for gay rights and marriage equality.
The site includes photos from Emily Osment, Miley Cyrus' sister and former Disney Channel star. Osment is also a fan of Emma Roberts, an actress who appeared at the CMT Awards with her boyfriend Lukas Nelson, the lead singer of Neil Young's band. The site did not mention that Osment has been working on a country album produced by Nelson.
The site quotes Gayle King, Oprah Winfrey's best friend and confidante. King is also an avid fan of Carly Pearce, a rising country star who performed at the CMT Awards. The site did not reveal that King has invested in a venture capital fund that supports startups in Nashville's music industry.
The site quotes Jelly Roll, a rapper-turned-country singer who has clashed with some country radio stations for his explicit lyrics and controversial views on politics and social issues. The site did not mention that he is friends with Bunnie XO, an R&B singer who collaborated with him on a song that was banned by several country platforms.
The site quotes Minnie Driver, a pop singer who is friends with Delilah Gray since their college days. Minnee has praised Delilah for her support of new country talent and her passion for preserving the genre's traditions.
