'Bachelorette' star Hannah Brown laughs off country singer Jake Owens' 'diss track' about her
'The Bachelor' season premiere got to the best of us and although we were able to look beyond the plane, pilot, aviation, windmill puns as well as Hannah Brown's emotional ride, it was hard. Country singer Jake Owen appears to feel the same and fans have a lot to say about it.
Owen posted a song he wrote about Hannah, called 'Alabama Hannah' urging her to go back home. "I wrote a song today with two buddies of mine," he said on Twitter live. Describing how he only heard about "Alabama Hannah" when "his girlfriend turned the TV on Monday night" Owen said, "she was everywhere and she won't go away."
The song also goes, "Alabama Hannah won't you roll on with the tide" which is a callback to Hannah Brown's bio that says "i say roll tide an aggressive amount." Owen also tells the subject that she has to lay in the bed she made.
Some fans thought that it was insensitive to the reality star. While some called it "sad" that he was doing it, others felt it was just "not classy".
Although Owen does mention that he met Hannah B on the 'Bachelorette' when he was performing, he also clarifies that it is not meant to be a "dig" at Hannah.
"How was this not a diss at her when all you did was use everything that happened to that poor girl this past year in the song. Word for word. How does that apply to anybody else? Concept sure. But the words? I get shes not everybody’s choice but" one fan said, while another agreed. "This is so low class of you! She is a human and has feelings . Shame"
Chris Harrison, the host, also retweeted the song, saying "My man @jakeowen speaking his truth to Hannah B on behalf of Peter." Fans slammed him too. "Papa Chris being as lovely as ever to @hannahbrown as if she needs more of your insensitivity."
Bachelorette star Hannah Brown doesn't seem too bothered by it, though. On her Instagram stories, Hannah B said, "Internet trolls and Facebook moms this one's for you" adding that she thought the song was "hilarious" and had her "tapping her foot" the whole time. She also joked asking Owen to call her for the "music video".
