On Thursday morning, the Grammy nominee came across a tweet from a radio station that she couldn't ignore."We cannot play two females back to back," country music station 98 KCQ in MichiganAs it turns out, Kelsea wanted to speak up and address the policy.
"I say this having been one of the few women who have been really embraced by country radio and having watched some of the bigger networks make real changes in their programming to make it look more balanced. I am grateful. BUT. There is still inequality in airplay for women and tweets like this prove it," Kelsea explained on
."And it's my job to say it out loud and post about it, because of the girls moving to Nashville that are ready to outrun and outwork and outplay everyone."She continued,"They deserve to know that they have the same shot as the guys moving here to do the same. Country music—We have to fix this. For us and for them. How do we do it? Let's talk. ."
