“Next Women Of Country” Trio Cover Taylor Swift

 CMT recently introduced a new class of female artists for their “Next Women of Country” series, and three of them, Kalie Shorr, Kelleigh Bannen and Lindsay Ell, came together for a cover of Taylor Swift’s “Look What You Made Me Do,” which has just been released.

“The Next Women franchise is all about creating an environment in Nashville where women support each other, so I called up two of my favorite artists, and we figured out this stellar arrangement,” Kalie says. “We realized after performing it in Kelleigh’s kitchen that the song took on a whole new meaning.” 

She notes, “It became part empowerment anthem and part protest song directed at anyone who has ever discounted, disrespected or harassed a woman,” adding, “I’ve never seen women support each other as much as they are at this point in history. I guess you could say that’s what the world made us do.”
