Jo Dee Messina Opens Up About Overcoming Rejection in Country Music Industry
Country music artist Jo Dee Messina recently opened up about the harsh criticism she faced early in her career. In a candid interview on \"The Bobby Bones Show,\" Messina revealed that a record label in Nashville rejected her initially because they deemed her \"too fat.\" Despite feeling devastated by the rejection, Messina's sister encouraged her to persevere, reminding her that rejection is a common part of the industry. This setback did not deter Messina, as she went on to achieve success with hit songs like \"Heads Carolina, Tails California\" and \"I'm Alright.\" After a 12-year hiatus, Messina is gearing up to release her new album, \"Bridges,\" and recently dropped the single \"Some Bridges,\" much to the delight of her fans.
