Earlier this month, Lambert stated how she was not happy with the state of female singers on country music radio as they are not getting enough radio play.

“It’s B.S., straight up,” Lambert told Redbook in a new interview. She is stunned that even Carrie Underwood, arguably one of the biggest country music stars in the world, isn’t well represented on radio.

“Carrie Underwood still struggles, and that just blows my mind because she’s got a million hits and she’s Carrie Freakin’ Underwood,” Lambert said. “I tell them at the radio stations, ‘Just play one of us; it doesn’t have to be me. Then we all win.’ I’ll fight for it until I can’t no more.”
