Expressing her profound sentiments, she wrote, “I am deeply honored to have become the first Black woman to achieve a No. 1 single on the Hot Country Songs chart. This milestone would not have been possible without the overwhelming support from each and every one of you. My fervent hope is that in the years to come, discussions regarding an artist’s race in relation to the genres they explore will become obsolete.”
Continuing her reflection, she added, “The creation of this album has been a journey spanning over five years. It emerged from a pivotal experience I had years ago, where I found myself feeling unwelcome and excluded… it became painfully evident that I didn’t belong. However, it was this very experience that propelled me to delve deeper into the rich tapestry of country music’s history and to immerse myself in our diverse musical heritage.”
Her words carry a poignant resonance, underscoring the transformative power of adversity and the profound impact of self-discovery. As she shares her personal narrative, she invites listeners to embark on a journey through her musical evolution, marked by resilience, introspection, and a deep reverence for the cultural legacy of country music.
