In this week’s edition, we’re turning the spotlight on Dylan Conrique — actress, singer, and all-around powerhouse who opens up about juggling heartbreak, chasing dreams, and finding her voice in Nashville. The feature dives into her move from Hollywood to Music City, her viral breakout songs including “Last One to Love Me” and “A Little Like You,” and what makes her one of country’s most relatable new stars.

We’re also celebrating the women dominating the songwriting scene with the CMA Triple Play Awards, where Ella Langley and Jessie Jo Dillon proved that women write just as many hits as they sing. With legendary names like Hillary Lindsay and Nicolle Gallyon paving the way, this recognition is a big deal — and long overdue.

And because we always stan our queen, this issue wouldn’t be complete without a little Dolly Parton love. She’s officially America’s favorite public figure (again!) — because who else could outshine both presidents and pundits with pure charm and talent?

Don’t miss our playlist update featuring Ashley McBryde, Kacey Musgraves, Lauren Alaina, Reba McEntire, and other fierce voices turning up the volume for women in country music.
