Singer-songwriter Jason Isbell explained on X, formerly Twitter, about how the ex-President's daughter was at the Windlands Festival the week her dad's Mar-a-Lago estate was raided by the FBI.

Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Jason Isbell shared his experience of avoiding an encounter with Ivanka Trump at a music festival last year. The incident took place during his performance at the Wildlands Festival in August 2022, shortly after the FBI executed a search warrant at former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate.

In a post on X, previously known as Twitter, Isbell described Ivanka Trump's attire as "goofy cowgirl clothes" and mentioned her departure from the festival grounds before his performance, noting that some artists were more welcoming to her presence.


Isbell's response on social media was prompted by a post from The New York Times' Annie Karni, who shared a story about Ivanka Trump attending Kim Kardashian's birthday party.

He wrote:

"Ran into her at a music fest the week her dad’s house got raided by the FBI. Goofy cowgirl clothes. Thank God a storm came up and she left before we went on."
"She walked toward me backstage- I turned and walked away. Some artists were VERY friendly with her though. We saw that."

You can see his post below.

The timing of the encounter coincided with the FBI's search at Mar-a-Lago, which resulted in the retrieval of over 300 classified documents. Later, former President Trump faced 37 felony federal charges related to his handling of classified information and pleaded not guilty to all counts.

And around that time Ivanka Trump attended the Wildlands Music Festival in Montana, where Isbell performed.

Her presence at the time was not well received.

In response to Isbell, many shared their own thoughts on Ivanka Trump, who served as her father's senior adviser during his term in the White House.

Observers have posited that Ivanka Trump's friendships with Hollywood A-Listers is a ploy to get back in their good graces.

Since her father left the White House, she has largely taken a step back from the spotlight, previously telling reporters that she does not "plan to be involved in politics" when asked if she would support his 2024 presidential bid.

Though she has often marched in lockstep with her father—considerably raising her own profile in the process—she has not necessarily endorsed his biggest falsehood: that the 2020 election was stolen.

Ivanka Trump has distanced herself from her father since the January 6 insurrection, later telling congressional investigators that she does not believe the election was stolen and accepted then-Attorney General William Barr's conclusion that voter fraud claims have "zero basis."
