Speaking of which, I can't think of a single country song since NYN that has crossed over that much without a pop remix (ICU, Cruise).

GC would need an uptempo remix to be successful at Top 40. It could go straight to AC and maybe Hot AC as it is. Maybe making GC a Rhythmic ballad would be enough instead of resorting to an awful dance remix like AOM, Stay, and FFS.
NYN only had a slightly changed remix, like Breathe and You're Still The One, and succeeded in most markets without resorting to the dance remix, like Breathe and YSTO.
Cruise had a major change, and If I Die Young was changed from a Country ballad to a soft Rock ballad.
Before He Cheats is the only Country song to successfully crossover this millennium without a remix, although Take Your Time is trying to do the same thing right now.
Technically WANEGBT did so, but that song was not very successful at Country, and a Country version was released a week after the original version.
