She's a slightly different case I think.
She was basically groomed by the industry to be a pretty young white country girl and made into a sex symbol when she was 14.
When she grew up she changed genres, fired her old label when the contract expired, and then re-recorded her old stuff to keep the old labels from making royalties off new sales.
Everything about her change is a big middle-finger to to her old management.
Absolutely, but my point was country producers/management, saw the money she was raking in and immediately started pushing the their own country singers to make more "mainstream/pop/top 40" influenced music to capture the larger audience.
