The ACMs haven't surfaced over here (and neither has the Fire Country series), so I don't know whether I'll get to see either. I really came on to celebrate Hailey Whitters win (which I mentioned in the Women in Country Music thread), but I do really think it's scandalous that Carrie wasn't nominated in the Female category. The Board, of course, don't decide the nominations, and the Academy have been kinder to Carrie in the past (more so than the CMA), but even so - even in a relatively quiet year - it's very odd that she should not be placed as one of the current five leading ladies in the genre!
On the question of the new song, though, I don't think the use of that title can really be seen as wrong. The difficulty (or the advantage, from the songwriting perspective) is that it is a well-known proverbial phrase, which has many different connotations. A search on All Music throws up more than a thousand songs which use that phrase! Fans, of course, may immediately associate it with Carrie's song - but before that came out, as an old Country Rock fan, I would probably have associated that title with the Little Feat song, about a girl changed from a little Dixie chicken to a Mississippi queen, lol.
I would guess that the new song is quite different from either of those. Billboard describe it as "questioning and haunting". (Dierks sings lead on it, with Miranda only supplying harmonies, if that's any consolation
)
