Is Katie Armiger Leaving Country Music or Being Forced Out
What's going on with Katie Armiger? Her record company says she's decided to take a break from country music. Fans aren't buying it. They think she's being forced out.
Cold River Records President Pete O’Heeron told Country Aircheck Armiger “decided to take a breather and decide her next career aspirations. It has been the thrill of a lifetime to work with her and watch her blossom into one of the best singer-songwriters of her generation. Katie is a special talent and an even better person. As a label, we love her and support her decision and we will always be her biggest fans.”
After the announcement, her Twitter account disappeared. Armiger tried to respond on her Instagram page, but the post was taken down .

What's the real story? From the sounds of her Instagram post, she had no intentions of walking away from her music career. If she was, why would she have a listening party at CMA Fest for her upcoming album.

When Armiger stopped by the studio, she didn't strike me as the type of person to give up on her dreams. She came across as a driven woman, determined to reach her goals.
An announcement from Armiger is expected soon. When it's made, we'll pass it along to get BOTH sides of this bizarre story.
