In all aspects of life, there are people who go along with the status quo. These people never rock the boat, and always stay in their lane. Gabby Barrett is not one of these people. Barrett has made a name for herself by being herself, unapologetically so.

Barrett Calls Out Fake People In The Industry

One issue that comes up a lot is female representation in country music. These days, listeners may think of chart-toppers like Miranda Lambert or Carrie Underwood. If you go back a little further, you also have icons like Reba McEntire and Faith Hill.

The way Gabby Barrett tells it, not everyone in the industry who claims to be on your side is actually on your side when it comes right down to it.

Barrett said recently via an Instagram Q&A: “My whole life through school and through my music career I have seen so many girls say they are ‘For the girls’ but actually AREN’T. A lot of the times, atleast in my experience, they are the same people that tend to give you the cold shoulder. They’re ‘for the girls’ THEY like. It’s sad but it is what it is.”

Gabby Barrett Calls Out Hypocrisy

The Glory Days singer is an accomplished artist in her own right. Barrett has two number-one singles to her credit, as well as three songs that broke the top ten.
