Shania Twain says country music is more sexist now than ever

Shania Twain reveals the sexism she faced early in her career and says that over the years, the situation in country music has only gotten worse.

"The music industry going back 20 years ago, 30 years ago, was primarily more dominated by men," she told CNBC in an interview. "You know, male executives, most of the studio musicians were men, most of the managers were men, it was just more male-dominated in every sense. So being taken seriously as a woman was a challenge." Emily Trainham is an entertainment editor for Fox News Digital.

She recalled facing many "challenges" that male stars didn't have to face, such as criticism for being "too sexy" in her performances and music videos, but she was "relentless."
