Biographical information on Mackenzie Porter from her website (https://mackenzieporter.com/):

Canada born, Nashville-based MacKenzie Porter is rising to international acclaim after building momentum with her first-ever U.S. #1, six-week chart topping Dustin Lynch collaboration “Thinking ‘Bout You.” Porter made her own mark simultaneously, releasing brand-new songs “Coming Soon To A Bar Near You,” “Pickup,” “Unlonely Me” and “Heaven Heard Me” in late 2021. Her "mesmerizing vocals and hook-driven songs" (Billboard) sparked headline-worthy accolades, debuting on the Grand Ole Opry, earning four 2021 CCMA Awards nominations, and a 2021 JUNO nomination for her Joey Moi-produced Country Album of the Year contender, DRINKIN’ SONGS: THE COLLECTION. Making history, Porter became the first female artist since Shania Twain to have three consecutive #1 singles at Canadian country radio with “About You,” “These Days” and “Seeing Other People.” Porter also earned her first crossover Top 10 at Canadian pop radio – a first since 2003 for a Canadian country artist – with "These Days (Remix)," and joined CMT’s Next Women of Country class of 2021. The triple threat previously starred in cult-followed sci-fi television series Travelers now on Netflix, and is serving as direct support on Walker Hayes’ FANCY LIKE TOUR nationwide now.

And from Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacKenzie_Porter):

In 2018, Porter signed with Nashville-based Big Loud and became their first Canadian artist. She released the single "About You", co-written by Hardy. The song would hit number one on Canada Country, making Porter the first female artist signed to an independent label to top the chart in its twenty-five years of existence. Porter is featured on the Dallas Smith song "Friends Don't Let Friends Drink Alone" with Dean Brody.

In March 2019, Porter released the single "These Days", which charted on Canadian country, pop, and adult hits charts as well as on the US Hot Country Songs and Country Airplay charts. It also reached number one on Canada Country, making Porter the first Canadian woman to land back-to-back Number Ones since Shania Twain. She then opened for Dallas Smith and Dean Brody on their co-headlining cross-Canada Friends Don't Let Friends Tour Alone Tour. In February 2020, Porter released "Seeing Other People" which would become her third consecutive number one, making her the first woman (Canadian or American) to land three consecutive Number Ones on Canadian country radio since Twain.
