The singer recently shared her thoughts on the influential women shaping the industry today.  “My late, great mom literally pounded her fists on the conference room table at Atlantic Records to drive the point home that a young girl could write and produce her own music,” Gibson said. “Now look at Billie Eilish and Taylor Swift and everybody who’s come after. ‘I Can Do It With a Broken Heart’ is my new anthem,” she declared.  “I think a lot of us kind of live that, and showbiz women live it. It’s like we get on stage and we sing and dance, and then we go cry in a corner later about our personal life. She’s done so much to move the style forward and to empower women.”
