Miranda Lambert calls out sexism in the music industry: 'I had to sing with someone with a penis to get a No 1'
Lambert mentioned how she hadn't had a song in the Top 20 in a long, long time and then suddenly with Jason Aldean her song goes number 1. She says, 'because it's a dude'.
Calling out the inherent sexism and skewed gender representation in the music industry, country music star Miranda Lambert has candidly revealed the real reason why she currently has a No. 1 song on the charts. In an interview with Washington Post, Lambert said, “Yes, I had to sing with someone with a penis to get a number one." Talking about her single 'Drowns the Whiskey' with musician Jason Aldean, the country-music songstress believes that the reason the song hit number one was there was a male singer featuring on it. She continued, “It is interesting that I haven’t had even a Top 20 in a long, long time. And then it goes No. 1 because it’s a dude."
