Sheryl Crow was 'very afraid' when someone broke into her barn after Tesla protest
Sheryl Crow "felt very afraid" when an armed man broke into her barn after her Tesla protest.
In February, the 63-year-old musician posted a vide of herself saying goodbye to her Tesla as the vehicle was towed away after Elon Musk has named a senior advisor to President Donald Trump.
Speaking about the fallout, she told Variety: "This feels different, because when I came out against Walmart carrying guns [in a 1996 song], not everybody was armed — and certainly I didn't live in Tennessee, where everybody is armed.
"So yeah, there was a moment where I actually really felt very afraid: A man got on my property, in my barn, who was armed.
"It doesn't feel safe when you're dealing with people who are so committed.'
Despite the scary situation, the 'Soak Up The Sun' hitmaker admitted she would still post the same video again if she had the chance.
Sheryl added: 'I can't help it. I feel like I'm fighting for my kids. Also, that's the way I was raised.
"There have been times when it hasn't really been fun, but I follow my Atticus Finch dad; I'm very similar to him if I see something that seems unfair, you know?'
Meanwhile, Sheryl is still "so vigilant about climate change", which goes back to her own upbringing.
She recalled: 'My parents said, 'You need to leave the campground nicer than you found it,' and we always did.
"When we camped, we picked up trash that wasn't ours, and when I take my kids to the beach, we all three pick up people's cigarette butts or plastic bottles."
She argued that the earth "is being disregarded, particular by [the Trump] administration", and she is backing national advocacy group Natural Resources Defense Council.
She said: 'Let's face it: I may not be here to see my kids teach their kids how to leave the campground nicer than they found it.
"And who knows what the campground's gonna be like when they get it. That concerns me.'

Walton Goggins and Aimee Lou Wood finally address 'ridiculous' reports of White Lotus feud
Walton Goggins has confirmed there is "no feud" with Aimee Lou Wood after 'The White Lotus'. The 53-year-old actor and his co-star - who played Rick Hatchett and Chelsea on the hit HBO show - have faced claims of a rift between them after he unfollowed her on Instagram once season three of Mike White's anthology drama was finished. In a joint interview for Variety's Actor on Actor series, he said: 'There is no feud. I adore, I love this woman madly, and she is so important to me. 'This is Goldie Hawn. This is Meg Ryan. She can do anything, and she will. You watch what the next 20 years of her experience will be. "I'll be on an island, I think Greece. But she's special. There is no feud. She is love and I know that I am that to her. We care about each other very deeply.' Walton insisted the speculation over him unfollowing her on social media was "such a comment on where we're at culturally". He argued: "Why is everyone obsessing over Instagram? That is irrelevant. We don't give a s**** about Instagram. 'Why not have conversations about the story and Rick and Chelsea and enjoy it?' Meanwhile, 'Sex Education' star Aimee, 31, explained why she decided to stay silent on the rumours despite initially wanting to correct everyone. She said: "Eventually I just started to sit back and watch these people making something out of absolutely nothing.' Walton took the opportunity in their interview to "follow" her right there and then, as he found his phone and opened up Instagram. He added: "It's all so ridiculous. It's just a part of me just saying goodbye to this character so that now Aimee and I will be friends for f****** ever.' As they hugged, she told him: 'I completely understand.' Meanwhile, Walton recalled having an emotional goodbye with 'Justified' castmate Tim Olyphant before not talking to him "for almost two years", which is what he's done "with every single thing" he's worked on. There was also the added heartbreak of him returning to Bangkok, Thailand for the first time since he escaped to the city after his wife took her own life in 2004. He explained: "My catharsis in this experience was different than other people's, because of my history in this place. "I knew what we had gone through, and I knew how close that we had gotten, and I needed to begin to process saying goodbye to Rick and Chelsea. 'And I knew that that was going to take a while for me, so I let her know, this is what I've gotta do. And she was extremely supportive about that.' He "needed to just back away from everyone", noting it wasn't a case of solely ignoring Aimee. He said: "I haven't spoken to anyone. I couldn't handle it. Judge me or don't. I don't give a f*** what you think. "This is my process. Rick means everything to me, and Chelsea means everything to me. And so that's what I needed to do for me to process all of this.'
