Country star Mickey Guyton says her Grammy-winning show on Sunday night will be “a time for blacks in country music.”
Guyton, nominated for the first time and performed for the first time, is the first black solo artist to be nominated in a country category at the Grammy, following in the footsteps of the Pointer sisters who won a country Grammy Award.
“My life changed once I started running towards everything that made me different” Guyton told The Associated Press during backstage interviews before the show. “It is said that country music is three chords and the truth. So I started writing the truth as a black woman, singing country music and my life experiences. And one of the first songs was “Black Like Me”. ”
She said that stepping on that stage is important not only for her, but also for all those communities that felt marginalized in country music.
“I realize that not only do I walk through those doors like a black woman, I have to keep the door open for many other black, brown, LBGTQA artists plus artists who have the same dreams,” says Guyton.
