The exhibit will feature names including Dolly Parton, Rosanne Cash, LeAnn Rimes, Shania Twain, Taylor Swift, Mickey Guyton, Rissi Palmer, Leah Turner, Carly Pearce and more.

Kelsey Goelz, Grammy Museum’s Associate Curator and curator of the exhibit, noted, “I am so inspired by the fearlessness, creativity and resilience of these artists. Each generation of women in country music has paved the way for the next, and now, they’re headlining festivals, winning Grammys, and breaking streaming records.”

Dolly Parton added, “I was thrilled to have my very own exhibit at the Grammy Museum a few years ago. They are fantastic at bringing music memorabilia to the fans. So, of course, I wanted to support the Women In Country exhibit. I hope you enjoy a little glimpse into my world, from one country fan to another.”

As well, Nashville resident and journalist Marissa R. Moss, author of the May 10-released "Her Country: How the Women of Country Music Became the Success They Were Never Supposed to Be," will be in conversation with LeAnn Rimes for a special Public Program to celebrate the exhibit on May 31.

Tickets for Museum members will go on sale starting on Thurs, April 28 and for the general public on Sat, April 30. More information is available via https://grammymuseum.org/event/the-power-of-women-in-country-music/
