Thanks to Bix at the Express for scanning the Country Weekly article!
Leave it to Kelly to start this discussion, lol. The article starts off by saying it was Kelly's CMA nomination that started people talking about the lack of women in the genre.
Also, liked this part, "The latest chart examined at press time reveled only four females in the Billboard Top 25 - with Kelly Clarkson's "Don't Rush" included, by the way. The other females represented? If you guessed Carrie Underwood, Miranda Lambert and Taylor Swift, you're right on the money."
