New Brad Paisley Song Features President Zelenskyy
Paisley’s royalties for the song will be donated to United24 to help build housing for thousands of displaced Ukrainians whose homes were destroyed in the war.
Brad Paisley, who's been raising money for Ukraine, actually got President Zelenskyy to be part of his new song, "Same Here." Via the Today Show:
Paisley is one of several celebrity ambassadors for Ukraine’s United24 crowdfunding effort, and has donated his time for other fundraising efforts to assist Ukrainians. But even he thought it would be a long shot to have the direct involvement of Zelenskyy, who has traveled the world advocating for Ukraine’s military and recovery efforts.
“I think he understands that art is how you reach the most people, especially in the heart,” Paisley said of Zelenskyy, who was an actor and comedian before becoming president.
“He can give as many speeches as he can give, but it’s a lot easier to hear something with a melody maybe.”
