Kenny Chesney is talking about his decision to keep politics out of his performances.

During a recent conversation with Bill Maher on the Club Random podcast, Kenny explained that it's not his place to use the stage to influence fans politically. 

"I never saw it to be my place to use my stage or platform, no matter where I'm playing, to tell people how to think or how to vote," he stated. "They hear that. They get that everywhere else. Everywhere, on every device, every network. They're there as an escape from all that stuff."

When he was asked about celebrities who are outspoken about their political views, Kenny had this to say, "There's a certain ego, I think, that lives in there and a certain box inside your head and soul that you have to check, for some reason, to think that you can make a difference."
