Shania Twain calls for equal play and more diversity in country music | CNN

I'm so over how long it takes for people like Shania Twain to come along and be like, 'hey guys let's make some changes!' 🙄 I mean don't get me wrong I love country music and I love Shania but I was literally listening to the same 5 songs on repeat from artists that looked like my grandma over the summer. Like what even is that?! It's time for us to wake up and realize that our favorite singers are still human beings with their own stories to tell.

And can we please talk about how important it is for people in positions of power to actually use their platforms for good? Like Shania Twain is literally using her entire career to make a difference. She's not just some old lady trying to be relevant, she's a force to be reckoned with and I am HERE. FOR. IT.

I also love how she's bringing up these talented artists that we've never even heard of before. Like what about us?! We want to see more diverse voices on the radio and at award shows too. Let's give it up for Shania Twain for being a true legend and a total icon 🤩
 
🙌 I'm loving that Shania Twain is taking it upon herself to shake things up in the country music scene! It's about time, too - I mean, we're living in 2025 and still not seeing enough diversity on those stages. I love that she's using her platform to bring attention to artists like Lily Rose and Hailey Whitters who are killing the game right now.

I think it's amazing that she's choosing to feature these emerging acts on her tour - it's all about building each other up, you know? And let's be real, it's not just about them, it's about the whole industry learning to see things from a different perspective. We need more role models like Shania who aren't afraid to speak their minds and create change.

And can we talk about how awesome it was to see her perform with The BoykinZ? Those sisters are total rockstars and I love that she's taking them under her wing. It's moments like those that remind us why we're so passionate about music in the first place - it's a community, not just an industry! 💖
 
omg u guys i just saw shania twain's speech at the cmt awards & i'm literally shook she's so right about how country music is lacking diversity & it's not fair that ppl from diff backgrounds r still not getting the recognition they deserve 💖 i'm lowkey obsessed with lily rose & mickey guyton too 🤩 it would be amazing if more artists like them got a chance to shine on twain's tour 🎉
 
🎸 just when u think the music industry's all about the fame & fortune, shania twain drops knowledge on us... prioritizing diversity & equality is not just a moral obligation, it's good biz 🤑 her new tour lineup is fire 🔥 and more importantly, she's using her platform to uplift others 🌟 we need more trailblazers like her in the music industry 💁‍♀️
