Girls In Low Places

Katie has ARRIVED in Nashville and sits down with music journalist and Her Country author Marissa Moss to ask a pretty big question: why does country music still seem capable of championing only one woman at a time?

From Lainey Wilson and Ella Langley to Kacey Musgraves, Megan Moroney and the women who seem to disappear from the spotlight while the men get to stay there, Marissa breaks down the double standards that still run through country music — from radio and festival lineups to awards, interviews and the pressure on female artists to never say or do the wrong thing.

They get into why women are constantly pitted against each other, why the girls often have to work twice as hard on stage, why female artists can become more guarded as their careers grow, and what fans can actually do to help change things.

Somewhere along the way, we investigate the entire contents of Gavin Adcock’s pockets, plot Katie’s future celebrity feud, discuss Tucker Wetmore smut and discover that serious journalism and absolute nonsense can, in fact, coexist.

Two things can be true, as Kelsea once said.

📚 Marissa’s book Her Country is available to buy now in the UK and on Amazon in the US.

Ingrid Andress joins all of us Girls In Low Places for a conversation about what happens when your worst fear actually happens — and you realise life carries on.

Ingrid opens up about her national anthem performance, checking herself into rehab afterwards, dealing with public humiliation and eventually finding freedom in no longer being able to control what everybody thinks of her.

We also get into the realities of being a woman in your thirties: running from commitment, questioning marriage, dating when your career consumes your life, knowing when you’re simply not compatible and accepting the parts of yourself you’re not interested in changing.

Plus: More Hearts Than Mine, why she’ll never date another musician, religion in the South, cult documentaries, learning to use a chainsaw and the exhausting reality of being an independent woman.

UGH we love her.

For a very special bonus episode, Girls In Low Places took over The Duke of Highgate in London to host Riley Green’s That’s Just Me album listening party on behalf of his label, Big Machine.

With a room full of GILPers, we got an early listen to tracks from the new album and talked exes, situationships, commitment issues, whiskey and whether understanding why Riley acts the way he does gives us a whole new perspective on the album.

There’s also pin the moustache on Riley Green, signed prizes, audience confessions, karaoke and an unexpectedly starring role from our sound guy, Grim.

A proper GILP night out — and your chance to come inside the room with us.

Coming to you from bed, wet hair in a claw clip, because we need a little GILPer catch-up.

First: Stagecoach. Yes, I’m sad there’s no woman headlining - but I think we’re blaming the wrong people.

Then I need to discuss my own podcaster beef. How far is too far in an interview? What happens when an artist asks me to take something out? Its all hereeeeee girls.

This Fancy Hagood girl chat goes from Spice Girls and Dua Lipa to religion, coming out, queer country and his destiny being his own. 

Fancy takes us back to Baby Jake: growing up in Arkansas, moving to Nashville supposedly to study religion, losing his religion instead, and eventually finding both his queerness and the name “Fancy” while working at Forever 21.

They talk about the realities of being openly gay in country music, why Fancy is tired of waiting for Music Row to decide whether he belongs, touring arenas with Ariana Grande before finding himself back behind a bar, and the emotional significance of standing in the Grand Ole Opry circle and singing about finding a man to love.

But obviously, this is GILP — so there’s also a LOT of Spice Girls, the dream Real Housewives of Nashville cast, Downton Abbey, Dua Lipa, red flags in hot men, unhinged things we’ve done for love and Fancy casually revealing that he could “easily start a cult.”

Plus, Fancy explains why his next chapter is less about proving where he belongs and more about making the music — and telling the queer love stories — he knows he was put here to tell.

Dawson Anderson is in the UK, and he came bearing flowers. 🌹

Katie sits down with Dawson to talk first loves, toxic exes, dating when your career comes first, and why he wants to be a husband and dad… just not quite yet. Dawson opens up about the messy reality of going solo, the relationship that sent him to therapy, whether men ever really get over their first love, and what it takes to become one of his future ex-girlfriends.

Plus, we make our very own Kacey Musgraves balls, talk finding the yin to your yang, Dolly Parton, why Katie might move to Nashville, and Dawson repeatedly calls for his mom to come and rescue him.

Dawson dribbled on his jacket. That’s how good this episode was.

Georgia Millie is back on the GILP hotline for a overdue country catch upppp. 

We’re talking about the girl on a train moment I found myself on the same train as Maren Morris, surviving festivals with a baby, Dawson Anderson’s adventures with the British girls and Doja Cat having absolutely no idea who Ella Langley is.

Plus Morgan Wallen’s questionable outfit choices Tim Mcgraw stacking it and plenty more GILPer nonsense.

We are starting to put these LOLZ opinions behind the paywall so here is a link to the web link to get them in full for just £4.99 a month, with SO much more!!! :)

Josh Ross is back in the Girls in Low Places studio!!!! And Katie is wearing head to toe PVC and spanking him with a baton.

We talk getting kicked out of bars, crazy girls (turns out he’s a fan), heartbreak, dating and why Josh sleeps in his jeans. Then we get surprisingly deep about learning to be alone, knowing what you actually want from a relationship and how much life has changed for him over the last few years.

Obviously, it doesn’t stay sensible for long. Josh becomes an agony aunt for the GILPers, we debate when it’s acceptable to buy a girl flowers, establish exactly why the two of us would never work, and then he takes over my dating apps to find me a man.

Plus: British girls, Dan + Shay, new music, and quite a lot of flirting that wont ever go anywhere. Sigh. 

Another completely professional piece of journalism.

It’s been quite the week at GILP HQ, so my friend Trish joins me for a much-needed debrief.

We talk about Dolly Parton, what she meant to women beyond country music, and the slightly surreal experience of Dolly Pawton and me making our BBC Breakfast debut in matching pink cowboy hats.

Then, naturally, we move onto the other important cultural events of the week: Kacey Musgraves flying through the air on a gigantic pair of glitter balls, Jessica Simpson’s surprisingly raunchy early lyrics, cowboy romance novels and my current reading era.

Basically, come and sit in on the GILP group chat.
