Sheryl Crow Says Armed Man 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 video of herself saying goodbye to her Tesla as the vehicle was towed away after Elon Musk was named a senior advisor to President Donald Trump.

Speaking about the fallout, she tells Variety in a feature dated April 30 that, "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," she says.

"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 admits she would post the same anti-Musk video again if she had the chance.

"I can’t help it. I feel like I’m fighting for my kids. Also, that’s the way I was raised," Crow insists.

"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, she is still "so vigilant about climate change," which also goes back to her upbringing. "My parents said, 'You need to leave the campground nicer than you found it,' and we always did," she tells Variety.

"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 argues that the earth "is being disregarded, particular by [the Trump] administration," and she is using her celebrity status to back national advocacy group Natural Resources Defense Council.

"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," Crow concludes. "And who knows what the campground’s gonna be like when they get it. That concerns me.”
