“I think about how I got here and how I was inspired to chase this dream and it was because there were female powerhouse artists who I looked up to and showed me that it was possible like Loretta Lynn and Dolly Parton, Shania Twain. They showed me what it means to be a female in country music,” she added. “I think that this class is representative of that and it's lifting our voices. Leslie Fram is amazing for that and making us feel seen and heard.
“This is about having a voice and a perspective of half a world … I wouldn’t be here without the voices of Dolly and the Judds and Reba in my ear. On the eve of country’s biggest night, I can’t help but think about our sole female entertainer of the year nominee and the fact that Carrie wouldn’t exist without the impact of Martina McBride,” Mabe said, while McBride looked on side stage and clutched her heart.
