Sheryl Crow's terror as armed man breaks into her remote Nashville property
Singer Sheryl Crow , 63, has told of her terror after an armed man broke into her property. The country music star sold her Tesla last year in protest at Elon Musk 's efforts to eradicate US government programs through his so-called DOGE ( Department of Government Efficiency ). At the time she shared a video outside of her home waving the car off as it left on a tow truck. She said: My parents always said… you are who you hang out with. There comes a time when you have to decide who you are willing to align with. So long Tesla. 'Money donated to @npr, which is under threat by President Musk, in hopes that the truth will continue to find its way to those willing to know the truth.' But shortly after, the nine-time Grammy winner was terrified to discover an armed man had broken into her 10-stall barn on her remote Nashville property. The singer was left shaken up by the intruder. She said: '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. This feels different,' she said. 'Because when I came out against Walmart carrying guns, not everybody was armed and certainly I didn't live in Tennessee, where everybody is armed.' Crow, who has two adopted sons, says she will not be silenced. She left the Hollywood Hills in 2007 - calls her Congressional representatives Andy Ogles and Marsha Blackburn every single day for the sake of her adopted sons Wyatt, 18; and Levi, 16. 'Tennessee is a hard place for me. I mean, I struggle,' she said. 'We have to stand up and be vocal and fight for the future for our kids.' Crow - who's sold over 50 million albums worldwide - famously kicked off her career as a jingle singer before serving backing vocalist duties during the late King of Pop Michael Jackson's Bad World Tour 1987–1989. Major hits in the 1990s included All I Wanna Do, Every Day Is A Winding Road and James Bond theme Tomorrow Never Dies.
