Karen Fairchild even sees the experience as an example of how we can all be better to each other in 2021.

"I thought it was so lovely ... to watch him on 'SNL'... and to know that 'SNL' extended that invitation a second time. I was like, 'That's awesome,' because it could have easily gone the other way."
"I was so happy for him," she continued, "and happy that they set that example of, 'We're not cutting you out, we're actually inviting you back.' And I hope we see more of that kind of stuff."
The "Wine, Beer, Whiskey" hitmaker believes that's what America needs after a rough 2020.
"I feel like it's so important, because of what we've been through as a country, that we set the intention that we are going to be kinder to each other," Fairchild added. "Even if we disagree, we're gonna support and cheer people on ... hope for the best for people, be good neighbors."

Though it may sound easy, Fairchild realizes it isn't.
"I don't do it every day..." she admits, as husband Jimi Westbrook laughs. "Jimi's like, 'Yeah, of course she doesn't!' But I just mean, as a society, as a community, how can we make 2021 the year of kindness and hopefulness and wishing more for each other instead of being so critical?"
