Women in Country Music

Miranda Lambert Reflects on Surviving the Male-Dominated Era of Country Music

Miranda Lambert has reflected on her transition from being a woman in country music to the era of the early 2000s, when there were no female artists in the industry. She credits this shift to a more balanced view of music consumption and more room for bodies. Lambert credits her success to surviving a period of only male artists coming out of country music for at least seven years. She also credits her friendship with Carrie Underwood and their performances at their residencies in Vegas as a crucial bonding moment. Lambert is thankful that there is now room for a crowd and that all voices and messages can be heard.
