Country music artist Chely Wright has made a big personal revelation to People Magazine about her sexual prefernce. "There had never, ever been a country music artist who had acknowledged his or her homosexuality," she tells People.com. "I wasn't going to be the first."
"Nothing in my life has been more magical than the moment I decided to come out," she says.
The 39-year-old musician, who was named the Academy of Country Music's Top New Female Vocalist in 1999, will be the first major country artist to come out and announced she is Lesbian.
Chely Wright will release her memoir, "Like Me," and her new album, Lifted Off the Ground, on Tuesday. The singer will appear on the "Today" show on Wednesday to discuss her new endeavors and further elaborate on her personal journey.
