She's refusing to sing her hit song "Hit me with your best shot"

"I can't say those words out loud with a smile on my face, I just can't," Benatar said, adding that the decision is her "small contribution to protesting."

Thoughts?

Personally it sounds like an attention grab, the song, isn't about shooting. It's about a man whos a player, she's saying you're not gonna play me. Yes it contains the line Hit me with your best shot, and fire away. But until she brought it up I don't think anyone ever made a connection with gun violence. It's her concert, her song, her setlist, but to me it still feels like a dumb way to make yourself relevant again. With Kate Bush hitting the charts again is because of Stranger Things could it just be ego?

Unless I’m missing something I don’t think she’s talking about not singing it cuz of gun control but more because of the lyrics are welcoming abuse tbh

“I can’t say those words out loud with a smile on my face, I just can’t. I’m not going to go on stage and soapbox – I go to my legislators – but that’s my small contribution to protesting,” Benatar said. “I’m not going to sing it. Tough.”

Definitely knows what she's doing and she's fishing for attention. If anything, that song celebrates strong women. She should have gone the other way around and announced every time she's about to sing it that it's dedicated to victims.
