I gotta say, Shania's speech at the CMT Awards was all about embracing our differences and being inclusive
. She talked about how "Man! I Feel Like a Woman!" has become this empowering anthem for people around the world
. But what really got me thinking is that country music needs to reflect our modern world - we gotta have more artists from different backgrounds on stage, sharing their stories and perspectives
.
It's like, when you're born into a family with members who are all super close, it can be hard to see the bigger picture, right?
But Shania's whole "We're family" vibe is about recognizing that we're all in this together
. And I think that's what's missing from country music - a sense of community and belonging.
So, here's my take: let's celebrate our differences, but also learn to appreciate how they make us stronger
. When we break down barriers and create space for everyone to shine, that's when the magic happens
. And Shania Twain is leading the way
.
can't believe we still need someone like Shania Twain coming out of nowhere to tell us about diversity and inclusion in country music... like, didn't some of these artists already prove themselves? 
anyway, i guess it's cool that she's putting her money where her mouth is with her tour lineup 
lily rose, Lindsay Ell, and Hailey Whitters are all dope artists who deserve more recognition. Mickey Guyton is a great addition too 
but let's not forget about the rest of the country music scene... it's not just Shania Twain who can make a difference 
I'm so grateful Shania is using her influence to create change and bring more diverse talent to the stage. And I love how she's not just saying it - she's putting her money where her mouth is with her "Queen of Me" tour lineup! 
. Like, it's so past time we see more diverse faces in country music, you know? It's not just about representation for women of color or LGBTQ+ folks, it's about makin' sure everyone feels welcome and included. And let's be real, "We're family" is way more than just a slogan - it's the real deal 
. We need more people in positions of power to champion change and create a safer space for everyone. It's high time country music evolves, and I'm here for it 
but tbh, it feels kinda forced on her part. Like, she's using this award speech to address the lack of diversity and stuff, but you can tell she's trying a bit too hard. It's not like she's actually been vocal about this issue before or anything... just now that she's winning an award, suddenly it matters 
Like, yeah, great job, Shania, now you're "supporting diversity" by singing with a group of black singers. It's just a quick fix, you know?
