Ehh... when all is said and done, at least she has two of them to her name. It's the CMAs that piss me off. The fact that she has NEVER even been nominated by the CMA for Entertainer is embarrassing... ESPECIALLY considering her less talented/successful counterparts who have been nominated.

Might as well tell it like it is Carrie. What are they going to do? What, keep your name out of every nomination list? Preach girl.

^ The way she worded the statement about Musgraves was odd; guess Carrie isn't into her, which she doesn't have to be. I was hoping they might write together for Carrie's new album, though.

Just because she didn't say "Kacey Musgraves is incredible in every way!!!" doesn't necessarily mean Carrie isn't into her. Let's not jump to conclusions.

I doubt she was shading Kacey since she's well aware that she along with Taylor and Miranda are the only current females on the format to have consistent hits.

I don't think her comment about Kacey was worded oddly, though I'm not surprised to see people jumping to conclusions about it. Carrie is one of the biggest champions of supporting rising female country stars, why on earth would she "shade" one of the most promising new females while in the same breath wishing more success for females? I think she was simply listing Kacey as one of the new female artists she'd like to see have success.

Definitely wasn't shade. She was merely pointing out the Kacey is well-liked; there's no implication that Carrie doesn't actually like her. Only because Carrie's likening toward her wasn't directly addressed are people assuming she doesn't actually like her.

Anyway, my point about the statement being odd is this; she says "I" love Lauren, and she says Sarah Darling has a sweet voice (i.e. again giving her own positive opinion). For Kacey she says other people are into her writing style; Carrie doesn't say anything of her own there.

For Kacey she says other people are into her writing style; Carrie doesn't say anything of her own there. Overly-analytical. I think that using the words ''other people are into her writing style' could easily lead one to assume that she is not one of those people. Now even if that were the case, it doesn't necessarily mean that she thinks Kacey's writing is bad, or inferior .......it appears to me that she is pointing out a positive for each of the ladies mentioned. .......and for Kacey she highlights her writing style. She uses the phrase 'other people' perhaps because she does not have a first hand experience or familiarity with her writing style. Given Carrie's 'classiness' and more importantly her nature, I'm more inclined to go with the latter explanation.

Considering Kacey Musgraves is on her debut CD, nothing about her has been consistent so far. As far as Carrie Underwood and Musgraves are concerned, what makes anyone think that there is not a mutual admiration for each other?

Come on, Carrie can't say anything bad about her dog much less a fellow artist. She's pushing for more female artists in the charts.
Just to add: Rumor or wishful thinking, Carrie's performance at the ACMs, singing with the SOML kids. She doesn't have a new single so why not. Let her bring some Broadway to bro ville.

Glad to see Carrie speak on this, some very good points here: www.billboard.com/articles/columns/the-615/5892801/carrie-underwood-women-in-country-music-fairness-kellie-picklerIn both 2012 and 2013, just three of the top 25 artists on Billboard’s Top Country Songs chart were solo women. In a Billboard Country Update column last fall, we heard what country radio has to say about this, but what do the artists themselves think? Carrie Underwood was one of the artists who made that list of three both years (along with Miranda Lambert and Taylor Swift), and she’s among the ranks of those hoping things will improve for females this year. "You would think that we would be farther along in the thinking about women in country music," Underwood says. "I like to think things are getting better, but then I see stats like [the one cited above] and realize that women really do seem to get the short end." Theories abound about why women get short-changed in country music, but Underwood notes, "There is certainly not a shortage of talented ladies out there that want so badly to get their fair shot in this business. But there seems to be only room for only a few." On the flip side, she says, "there seem to be so many male singers out there who can be viewed as similar, and there seems to be plenty of room for all of them. "We see new male artists have their first single reach No. 1 on the charts, but it generally takes a female a lot longer to build momentum," Underwood continues. "I know that I am an exception to this, but I [also] know that if I hadn’t made my place in country music via 'American Idol,' I probably could have tried to make it for the rest of my life and never made any progress." One working theory is that song content has been a potential factor in the male/female disparity. Women—the theory goes—tend to write and/or choose to record songs with more substance and deeper themes than the "Parking Lot Party"-type songs that are working so well for the male artists right now. Underwood agrees that that theory has some merit. "I don't think women can get away with the partying, beer-drinking, hung-over, truck-driving kind of music that a lot of the guys have gotten away with lately," she says. “It does kind of seem like it’s a big party right now,” Kellie Pickler agrees. She notes that "All the women that are played [on the radio] are outselling the men, and people are listening to what they have to say, so I don’t know why more women aren’t played." "I'm really, really sick of trucks and bonfires" - @suzybogguss Also in agreement is Suzy Bogguss, who had her hits in the early ’90s at a time female artists were flourishing on the radio—including Mary Chapin Carpenter, Pam Tillis, Kathy Mattea, Patty Loveless and Lorrie Morgan, who collectively turned the derogatory term "chick singer" into something Bogguss says "meant you had some balls." “When that radio door opened, it let so many of us through,” she recalls of that time. “I felt at the time that [female listeners] really wanted us to speak about things they related to, and a lot of us did. One of the things we’ve gotta hope for is that the tide will turn and female fans will continue to speak up and say, ‘We need some real material here.’” In the meantime, Underwood says, expectations remain different for male and female artists. “It seems women are expected to be so much more than men, which means we have to work that much harder,” she says. “We’re the ones under the microscope. We’re expected to sound perfect. We’re expected to look perfect all the time. We’re expected to be style-setters, whereas the boys roll onto the stage in their jeans, T-shirts and baseball caps. I don’t know what we all can do to change this. But I do hope it does change. I would love to see more women making their mark in the music that I love so much . . . There are so many more out there just waiting for their shot. I hope they get it!”

Does this warrant the beginning of a 5th album thread since we now have confirmation of a new album in the works? eta: If you aren't Typo, don't make a new thread bc the opening 2 posts of this one are too good to not get reprised for the next thread. eta again: Carrie's at Fashion Week in NY -- her + Anna Kendrick and Zosia Mamet, indescribable perfection.

What would you call the upcoming Carrie Underwood thread? TBA? "Carrie Underwood - 5th Album Era" It's what happens with, almost quite literally, every single album thread on this forum, lol. It even happened with this thread. Prior to there even being an announcement about "Good Girl" happening at all, it was just a thread to discuss news, festival dates, new co-writes that pop up in BMI/ASCAP, etc. until info began to leak.

I'd prefer to have discussions/speculations/opinions etc about new cowrites, photoshoots, album theme etc to be in the new thread, instead of this old thread.
