Harry your fans are INCREDIBLE! Being in that Church surrounded by so many strong women. Thank you for letting me be a part of that magic ✨
Gotta join the love fest for

— back when we did our
#CMTawards
mashup performance, their raw vocals in rehearsal blew my mind, and they kept thanking me for inviting them to sing for the country music community. Excited for what’s next from these women ✨💛
I am such a MASSIVE FAN of this song I HAD to be as close as possible for these guys 🥃 (Asked to be in the pit... didn’t know I’d be THAT close 😂)

Sam, I can't possibly put into words how special you are. Thanks for letting me be a part of this magical world you've created 💛

I want to amplify these quotes from
@lukecombs
: “it’s impossible to not say we've had it easier than our black counterparts, or I had it easier than Maren and my female counterparts. It's undeniable. For me to sit here and tell you that that's not true would just be a lie.”
The majority of country listeners are female (actually true) but apparently we prefer listening male singers so we can “dream about them being [our] boyfriend” (actually said to me). Sure hope

picks the hottest one, cause that’s all my lady-brain can understand!
Who do you think will win Country Artist of the Year at our

To all the young talented Black women of country music: don’t you dare trust us. White ppl in country music are about to reach out with “good intentions”. Do business but PLEASE surround yourselves with other Black women 🖤
My heart just skipped watching our lyrics play out to such beautiful visuals in the new

and
@TylerSamJ
... here it is.✨🍏
#movesomeone
Heartbroken on so many levels. We need to make space for real conversations right now, for the full story. We need to celebrate the music and legacy of Charley Pride AND talk about how Country Music overlooks, underpays, steals from, and erases Black people 🖤
Ok you asked for it, so I made my version of Palace available everywhere! (Spotify, iTunes, Apple Music, Google Play, Amazon, etc) ✨⛪️ Wrote this w

Remember when this guy asked me to play Burning House on his show & it shot up the iTunes Charts? Sony made it a single THAT DAY & it became my first platinum, # 1, GRAMMY nominated song. Fast forward & we're both here to help on

4 months of you- wild, loving, fussy, skeptical, grasping, crying, snuggling, kicking, smiling, screaming, laughing & deeply staring you 💗 we’re in awe. So proud to be your guides, little sailor ⛵️
White men roll up with half baked music, horrible vocals and fake or no identity and get albums released. Mickey is a supreme vocalist and songwriting talent, grammy nominated, self actualized authentic being STILL waiting ~10yrs for a first album. WE DONT DO THIS TO ANYONE ELSE

@MickeyGuyton
broke ground by being the first black woman to perform her own song at the

on to BREAK 👏🏼 IT 👏🏼 DOWN. Might seem like just a convo but this took brains, guts & strength ✨ Thank You 🙏🏻
Many deserving artists nominated, but as always the CMAs doesn’t bother to address the diversity issues in country music. The next gen is totally aware. Question is: do we care about ‘award shows’ enough to get involved and help them evolve? Or do we ignore and let them die?
My first time on the big stage at C2C and now my heart’s just a puddle on the floor. Thank you again for embracing my music and welcoming me into this beautiful country community over here 🇬🇧💛😭
I make my own money. I make my own decisions. If you don’t understand me, that’s your problem not mine. I will keep taking up space. I will keep making waves. I’ve spent my life adjusting to you - you can adjust to me now.

Besides snacking & resting my big ol belly during these last days of pregnancy- I’ve been planning out how best to coordinate my 2020 album release schedule with my breastfeeding schedule🤱🏼 Boss mom sh*t! 💅🏻 📸:

This weekend The Chief asked me to help pull off the most epic stripped down arena show. What an honor to be next to my hero, singing from the heart. Somehow it felt like we were all just sitting around a bonfire
