@dailyai.uk: Kacey Musgraves celebrated her 38th birthday onstage in Chicago—but instead of asking fans for gifts, she made a very different request. During her concert at the United Center, the country singer encouraged fans to donate to the Young Center, a nonprofit that supports children navigating the US immigration system. Musgraves said the organization helps provide legal and financial assistance to children whose parents have been deported. “It’s not a Pol*tical thing,” she told the crowd. “It’s just, these kids need help.” She added that even a small donation could make a difference. Musgraves later promoted both the Young Center and the Galveston-Houston Immigrant Representation Project on Instagram, calling them organizations doing “the Lord’s work.” But her message quickly became controversial online. Some critics questioned what she meant by an “unfair” deportation. Others argued that Musgraves should use more of her own money or focus on struggling American children instead. Musgraves has previously spoken publicly against D. Trump’s immigration policies and has supported immigrant families. In May, she invited the Mariachi Oro brothers to open for her in Texas shortly after they were reportedly released from ICE detention. Despite the backlash, her birthday message remained focused on children caught in situations they did not choose. Sometimes a simple request to help children can expose just how divided people are over the larger issue surrounding them. Do you think celebrities should use their concerts to support causes like this? #KaceyMusgraves #Immigration #CelebrityNews #CountryMusic #humanstories
