80s rock star Nancy Wilson of the band Heart is facing backlash after she recently compared being an American to how it was during the Vietnam War, saying it’s “more embarrassing now.”
During an interview earlier this month, the “Barracuda” rocker talked about the early days in the group while discussing the band’s huge hit “Crazy on You,” which came out in 1975, <a href="https://www.jsonline.com/story/entertainment/music/2025/03/18/hearts-nancy-wilson-on-hanging-with-chappell-roan-anns-health-more/82267300007/">Milwaukee Journal Sentinel</a> reported.
“We were kind of embarrassed at that time to call ourselves American because of the dirty politics of the Vietnam War,” Wilson said.
“To be as subtle as possible,” she added. &#8220;It’s more embarrassing now.”
Later in the interview, the rocker said the group’s 1977 hit “Barracuda&#8221; was even “more relevant in the salacious billionaire culture with the grab-them-by-the-p***y mentality.”

It was a clear reference to comments President Donald Trump made during an interview in 2005, more than a decade before he ran for office.
“I think for women in the culture the pendulum will come back again, and there’ll be another renaissance in the arts to push back against the oppression of the cranky old rich white guys,” Wilson said. “I hope I am alive to see that next revolution.&#8221;
Later, the comments from the interview surfaced on social media — and resulted in many people blasting Wilson for slamming America, the <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/03/24/entertainment/hearts-nancy-wilson-says-its-more-embarrassing-than-ever-to-be-american/">New York Post</a> noted.
“Says the millionaire who made TONS of dough playing music,” <a href="https://x.com/yea_karen53/status/1904241909834408324">one user on X </a>wrote. “I just can’t with these people right now.”
Another person wrote, “The b***h is welcome to find a more suitable country for her needs. I’m willing to wager on the makeup of the country should she be a woman of her convictions.”
While a third person wrote, “Stop playing 80’s Heart music and it’s not as embarrassing.”
Another person added, “It’s embarrassing to be a Heart fan now.”
Others suggested that if the singer from Heart doesn’t like it here, no one is asking her to stay.
“Then leave you won’t be missed,” one social media user wrote.
Another added, “Move I guess.”
While a third person <a href="https://x.com/MatthewNichol5/status/1904676378043183260">wrote</a>, “I hope Nancy Wilson leaves. What a disgusting pos. I used to love Heart, but I will never listen to them again. These fans did the right thing. They do not pay to see their political opinion.”
