Chely Wright Comes Out

Country singer Chely Wright didn’t want to be the first country artist to “come out of the closet,” but she’s coming out now.

But now Wright is changing her tune. “Nothing in my life has been more magical than the moment I decided to come out,” she says.

Wright, 39, recalls of her youth in the South: “I don’t have a memory in my life that doesn’t include the dream of making music.” But during her childhood and rapid ascent to fame in the county world, she also experienced a community in which homosexuality was shunned. “I hid everything for my music,” says Wright.

The singer-songwriter, who has won both an Academy of Country Music and a Country Music award, will later this week release her memoir, Like Me, as well as her first album in five years, Lifted off the Ground.

She’ll also appear on the Today Show Wednesday to discuss her personal journey.
