Yes I agree with most of what you say. kellie is doing just fine and well stick around for a long while. Just remember Nashville pushes the flavor of the moment. The last couple of years it was AI singer Underwood, now it is Taylor Swift. Underwood is controlled by Nashville, they write her songs and produce her albums and they make most of the money off of her and she sees very little so of course they give her awards. It is all a political game.
Look at the biggest country female of alltime, Shania. She writes her own songs, produces her own music with her husband and lives in Switzerland and new Zealand. She has very little to do with Nashville and Shania makes hundreds of millions of dollars.Nashville hates her because she did her own thing and became bigger than country music.
You are also right there are pitfalls to beings so big and famous worldwide like Shania like being scared to be seen in public and being paranoid. But Shania is a special case and nobody should be trying to compare other artists to a huge worldwide icon like Shania. Shania has the money and power to make music on her own time and she doesn't care if country radio plays her. She makes music for the world.
All of these new artists are just the flavor of the moment who nashville wants to push and milk them for some money and then move on like a taylor swift or the manufactured act Underwood.
Kellie is just plugging away and will do just great in the long run.
