Carrie and Taylor and most these chicks would be nowhere without our good queen Shania
You mean Queen Dolly Shania made country huge worldwide but Dolly was the 1st female to get country played on mainstream radio and have a presence outside the U.S. and Canada and lets not forget Chet Atkins the guy who basically re-invented guitar playing and created the country-pop genre
Dolly I would agree is far above Taylor however when I said trinity I meant artists who have enjoyed major success on both pop and country over the years. 1st Dolly then Shania and now Taylor. Personally I feel Taylor is superior to Shania but all 3 are critically praised artists with great album sales.
