Jason Aldean
Jason Aldean got started by performing in Atlanta nightclubs. It was through this that he was discovered and offered a record deal at Broken Bow Records. Though he didn’t stay with Broken Bow, he went on to do well with a deal at Capitol Records. His hits include My Kinda Party and Burning it Down. Following a successful 2016 tour, he won the Entertainer of the Year Award at the Academy of Country Music Awards.
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift may be a mainstream pop star now, but she wouldn’t have gotten there without her early country career. All the way back in 2007, Swift became America’s sweetheart after releasing Teardrops on My Guitar, which won her a huge fanbase. Since then, she’s constantly reinvented herself and amassed a worldwide fanbase. Her latest edgy look is likely inspired by her hit single, Look What You Made Me Do. She certainly made a splash.
