Without meaning to get offensive (because we still have Dolly Parton, and God bless her soul)... is Shania Twain our equivalent country queen?

I say this as someone who listened to Up! (both versions) throughout my formative years and honestly every single one of those songs was important to me at some point - from c'est la vie, which is fairly upbeat, to It Only Hurts When I'm Breathing, which is still my go-to sad song for when my depression catches up to me.

Just wanted to cast the feelers out; are we in the same boat? If not, why not? I want to contribute more but I want to know more about everyone here first 😅

I know it's super late, but thank you for this comprehensive analysis. I've been admittedly lax in recognising Dolly's greatness (I've always known she was awesome, but didn't quite recognise the extent, as a sheltered gay) but your post did open my eyes to how much catching up I have to do.

I haven't deleted the post because I did relate to Shania more, since she was my icon, but yeah... she doesn't hold a candle to Dolly, I'll admit that. Thanks for giving me a heads up for more things to watch, listen to, and appreciate Dolly for everything she is. 💙
