'They're making it so difficult for women,' Twain told CNBC. 'They're not giving them that space.'

Bestselling country music artist Shania Twain says things have regressed for women in the genre since her rise to stardom.

Country music star Shania Twain spent her early career fighting to gain respect and creative control within a male-dominated industry before she went on to become one of its best-selling artists of all time. "You know, male executives, most of the studio musicians were men, most of the managers were men, it was just more male-dominated in every sense. So being taken seriously as a woman was a challenge."

"But I feel that since then, the industry has regressed, I feel it's more difficult for women to find space, to find room. It's sad to see it but it's very true." "I can't really put my finger on why they're making it so difficult for women, or you know why they're not giving them that space. They're certainly good enough, it's just not an even playing ground right now."The U.K.'s Glastonbury festival, which sells more than 200,000 tickets each year, recently announced three male headliners for 2023. Organizers attributed it to scheduling restraints.
