Mickey Guyton Nearly Quit Before the ACM Awards Came Calling
Mickey Guyton says 2020 was a very good year for her, but the truth is, it was a career-saving year. The Black Like Me singer and newly announced ACM Awards host admits she came close to quitting. Absolutely, multiple times, Guyton told Taste of Country prior to the 2020 ACMs in Nashville. Professionally, she was misfiring with radio singles, which lessened demand for her as a live performer. Her debut Better Than You Left Me peaked inside the Top 40 in 2015, but since then she s met little but frustration. Two unlikely songs and one difficult personal decision changed her course.
