Martina McBride Blasts Spotify For Not Recommending Any Female Country Aritists

Martina McBride is not happy with Spotify. She took to her Instagram story to call out the streaming service for not offering up any female artists for a country playlist.

It seems Martina decided to create a playlist called “Country Music” on Spotify, but all the recommendations offered were of male artists, with the exception of Carrie Underwood, who didn’t come up until after she refreshed Spotify 14 times.

“Come on Spotify, you can and should do better,” she shared, adding, “And this on a week when we had four stellar releases by women,” referring to new releases by Trisha Yearwood, Tanya Tucker, the Highwomen, Kelsea Ballerini, and Sheryl Crow. 

“Is it lazy? Is it discriminatory?” she wrote. “I’m frustrated for my sisters. For all the great female artists who are making fabulous music. For all the female writers. And most of all, for every little girl out there who doesn’t hear this music and doesn’t know that she can grow up and do it.”
