Mickey Guyton

Singer Mickey Guyton is a black female country artist whose sound walks the line between classic country and contemporary pop. Following her initial buzz when her 2015 debut single "Better Than You Left Me" began making its way up the radio airplay charts, Guyton gained yet wider attention when her song "Black Like Me" went viral in the wake of the Black Lives Matter protests of 2020. That same year, she also became the first black female artist to perform her own song at the ACM Awards, joining Keith Urban for her socially conscious ballad "What Are You Gonna Tell Her?"
