random music thought of the day: in country music it's often basically been a requirement to either exaggerate or completely fake a southern accent (which not even everyone born and raised in the south always has) while singing, but then a lot of singers will surprise me as Secret British ppl bc when you're not really trying or singing in your second language or talk singing most ppls accents kinda flatten out when they sing bc to sing well you've gotta really emphasize vowels in a difft way than speaking. idk it's Interesting
#megamazing#i mean it's not a profound thought bc i know why#a lot of country stars become v rich and out of touch and don't live in the south or move to nashville aka the big city#so aside from lyrics they emphasize accent to be like i'm one of you#i mean not everyone is faking. but i do think of PA born taylor swift lmao#just fully cosplaying#but listen to canadian shania twain and she doesn't fake a southern accent she's just doing her thing
