"Cowboy Carter has become its own requiem." . I wrote about Beyoncé, my experience at the Cowboy Carter tour, the reality for Black and brown artists in country music, and the sinister nature of Megan Moroney's comments at the #AMAs📷 for @autostraddle .

So grateful to have this opportunity to write about representation on Canadian country radio for Front Porch Music. I did things a little differently this time around and used daily logs instead of aggregated data and friend. things ain't right round here. 🤠.
The topic of representation on Canadian country radio has been huge this year. Where are we at now? Spoiler . Things still ain’t right round here. @Data_Jada presents, and walks us through the data. See the data for yourself >>> #CountryMusic.
