In the surprise appearance, the Republican governor was filled with applause as he took the stage, sentiments not shared by the aroused masses online.

While the response in person was deafening, on social media, the liberal masses were quick to criticize Bryan for associating himself with the governor.
Bryan, who twice hosted the Country Music Awards, had been in Jacksonville as part of their ‘Raised Up Right’ tour after it was postponed multiple times due to damage from the historic storm last month.
The country music superstar was forced to postpone three previously scheduled stops in the Sunshine State due to Ian, rescheduling and changing several venues.

While they were well received by locals, liberals across the country weren’t so pleased, with many apparently citing DeSantis’ signing of the so-called ‘Don’t Say Gay Bill’ That prohibited schools from teaching gender identity and sexual orientation to children under the age of 10.
“Luke Bryan just got crossed off the playlist,” one user criticized after re-sharing a now-viral clip of the country singer walking out to thunderous applause, which the concertgoer who presumably recorded the clip commented was ” deafening”.
“Luke Bryan admits he hates women, LGBTQ people and immigrants,” another added in a similar scathing post, referencing the politician’s polarizing politics.

Others made it clear that they were giving up on the singer’s music altogether because of the cameo, which apparently took the internet by storm.
“I’m so shocked that you had DeSantis on stage with you,” one of those users commented amid the storm of backlash that followed.
The clip shows DeSantis and Bryan later shaking hands and hugging, in what appeared to be a healthy and even charitable place.
Then, at the appearance, the Republican governor encouraged concertgoers to vote, prompting fervent cheers and chants of ‘USA. USA’ from the crowd that supported him.
DeSantis would also thank Bryan for his generosity in helping with recovery efforts, noting how the singers have already contributed money to his Florida Disaster Fund, which the country star said he plans to give more to.
Bryan then revealed that he would be donating all of the proceeds from his rescheduled show in Estero, Florida to the fund.
Bryan previously said that all money made from the Jacksonville show, as well as all upcoming shows in Florida, will be donated to the fund to help the millions of hurricane victims.
“Because of the hurricane, they had to use the place that I was acting as a shelter,” Bryan said of the storm that forced his team to postpone three previously scheduled stops in the Sunshine State.
