The way Beyst traded commercial success (which was struggling even during IASF) for critical acclaim and sacrificed nearly a decade of her career to win AOTY... and she lost it.
The way The Lord successfully crossed over from country to pop ("she'll flop without the rednecks!"), beat all the uglies at their own game, snatched that AOTY Grammy and became historic in the process... So effortless, literally poor everyone else
I love how those country award shows are STILL going on about The Lord They have no star quality left; Miranda is old, fat, and will most likely die alone, Carrie hasn't even been certified tissue with her latest album and her voice is cracking too, and there are literally no other notable current female country artists.
