! Her country sound is super catchy and relatable. I mean, have you seen her performance on SNL? 
She totally brought the house down with that soulful voice of hers! But what really got me was how she drew from her Native American roots to create this beautiful music. It's like she's telling our stories through song, and it's so powerful 
. I'm all about supporting artists who are true to themselves and their culture, you know? 
... I mean, how original is a country singer-songwriter from the Cherokee Nation? It feels like every other artist trying to tap into Native American culture for their next big thing 
. And don't get me wrong, she's got talent and all that, but it's not like she's bringing anything truly new to the table 
... plus, flannel cowboy just sounds like a stereotype 
...
. And I love how she's drawing from her Native American heritage - it's about time we're seeing more representation in music 
. The fact that she was able to connect with the audience on such a deep level just speaks volumes about her talent and authenticity 
️. Have you guys been listening to much country music lately?
. i love how she incorporates her native american heritage into her music, it's such a unique perspective. and that voice of hers is just wow, gives me chills every time
