@JSul3 AGAIN that isn’t what I personally think, I said that is what the die hard country fans think, read my other comment again.

@Hanginginthere I am not charging you with that comment.
I stated 'if THEY think that....'
Rest assured, many of them do indeed think that.
I will remind you about Linda Martell.
In 1969, she became the first Black woman to play the Grand Ole Opry and, a year later, released the hit album “Color Me Country.” But Martell's stardom was unfortunately short-lived; the industry cruelly rejected her and “Color Me Country” would be her only solo release.
Now the 'difference' comes in tbe form of a black man, and that Charlie Pride was eventually embraced by the C&W kingdom and fans.
Was it because Charley was a man and Linda was a woman? While I can't prove it, it certainly plays into the narrative of man (regardless of color) being superior to woman.

She was country first (as a fan,) same as me. I’ve never made country music and when I first started playing in bands and writing music, it was in heavy metal genre. My first band was punk metal, my second band was industrial metal more like KMFDM, and my last band was more a melodic industrial metal somewhere between Evanescence and NIN. But I was a country fan first… listening to the Chicks Wide Open Spaces as a young girl. I ran from my country roots for a long time but about six years ago, I finally came back home to listening to my hometown country again. If I started making country music after all the stuff I have done that isn’t. It wouldn’t be me trying to come transition into something I have no background in. It would just be coming home. I’ve seen pictures of her as a young girl in a cowgirl hat… same as me. 🖤

I guess that she is trying out new genres like Taylor Swift did. Taylor Swift went from country to pop music and it was and still is hugely successful for her.

She's making money. I doubt she can sing Mozart.
