She probably got that from her parents. They made the smart move to buy a farm and legitimize her country status. And I bet it was the parents idea to do country first and than transition to pop. The country genre was an easier market to break into at the time since country fans, back when she was an unknown, were still buying CDs at Walmart and such. So these store would put a larger selection of country music on the shelves than any other genre. Meaning a smaller country artist would get shelve space.
The biggest lie you’ve been told in music is that American folk/country music is a southern thing. It’s not and never has been. Just another thing the narcissistic South stole from the rest of the country.

You mean pop country.
