I have been making this comparison for months: Ella stole her everything from Kacey
And for the ACM awards to put them BACK TO BACK was diabolical!!
I’m sorry but when Ella first came out I was like wow she’s good and she sounds like Kacey, but as I heard and saw more of Ella, I realized she does NOT actually have an accent, she developed it in 2022( same year Lainey Wilson was huge (also thick ass accent)) and her entire look, sound and vibe is a DIRECT BITE off Kaceys career. It’s not a coincidence , she’s a manufactured star and all the influenced people are that shit up.
It’s sad to see Kacey getting such little recognition over the years from country music, for Ella to come in and be objectively worse and literally just reheating Kaceys nachos.
Her head shake during her performance looked so dumb too.
All that being said I think Kacey should have performed a diff song off the new album.
