Country people knew who she was, they were also the ones buying her cds.
CAC's out in Arizona, Nashville, those corny girls in the back of the class that you would wonder what the fukk could this person possibly be listening to type of people.
He did make her a star to people who wouldn't normally fukk with her music, so basically he did nothing for her besides adding more paparazzi.
If you didn't listen to her music or that type of music, chances are high that it was the first time you heard about her. Specially world wide, she could probably walk around in the streets in Europe and not get recognized.
Even though she moved records (in the states) like Adele and more than Gaga and Beyonce, she wasn't close to their level of fame.
Just like a lot of these other country artists, I'm sure not a single person on here knows how those Lady Antebellum people looks and they go multi every time.
