American country singer-songwriter born October 25, 1970, in Kansas City, Missouri. Came out as a lesbian in 2010 — one of the first major-label country artists to do so. The disclosure significantly impacted her commercial standing in the country market.
Released nine studio albums between Woman in the Moon (1994) and Revival (2019). Commercial peak: Single White Female (1999, featuring the title track, her only #1 country single) and Never Love You Enough (2001). Her 2010 memoir Like Me: Confessions of a Heartland Country Singer chronicled her experiences in country music.
