For the first time in Grammy history, all of the nominees for best rock performance and best country album were women or women-led bands. They dominated the 2021 Grammy nominations this year despite often fighting to be heard and pushing back against the industry. It was a monumental moment for several musical acts, including country singer Ingrid Andress.
Andress is up for best new artist in 2021. The singer-songwriter released her debut album, “Lady Like,” earlier this year tocritical acclaim and a nomination for the best country album. And her hit single, “More Hearts Than Mine,” is up for best country song for a total of three Grammy nominations.

We talk with Ingrid Andress about the banner year for women musicians. She also performs a song from “Lady Like” live.
