Early 2000s Country Star Jessica Andrews Has A Crazed Fan Who’s Been Releasing Music Under Her Name For Years

This is wild. If you’re a fan of late-90s/early 2000s country, you no doubt know Jessica Andrews – and even if you don’t recognize the name, you’ve definitely heard her music. Andrews had her biggest hit back in 2001 with “Who I Am,” which went to #1 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart…and had even grown men identifying as Rosemary’s granddaughter: @heyitsbret Jessica Andrews had 10 year old me feeling like I was actually Rosemarys granddaughter #fyp #2000s #countrymusic #2000smusic #millennialsoftiktok #millennial #2000scountry ♬ Who I Am – Jessica Andrews Though she had a couple of minor hits after “Who I Am,” Andrews’ label was sold in 2004 to MCA Nashville, where she moved and recorded an album that was never released. Well, at least not officially. Andrews revealed during a recent interview with Bobby Bones that the album had somehow been leaked and was probably out there somewhere, thanks to a crazed fan that Andrews says has been bothering her for years: “I have this imposter person that somehow gets these unreleased songs and they’ll put it out.” According to Andrews, the fan won’t accept that she’s not making music anymore: “At first they found anything out there that they could unreleased, and they would try to find that and put it out. But after they ran out of material, then they would just start singing themselves, but yet they’ll release it under my name. If you go on Apple Music right now you can find all of this bogus, horrible sounding stuff. The quality’s bad. And I’m like, oh my gosh, I really hope people don’t think that I’m putting out these songs. It’s terrible.” But it’s not just releasing music as Andrews: She says that the imposter has also booked shows and done interviews posing as Andrews: “I don’t know if it’s her that sings, but I do know that she’s the mastermind that puts it all together… I think sometimes it’s her and then sometimes it might be someone else. But I mean, she’s signed contracts. She books things. I’ve had people that will get in touch with me and say, ‘You didn’t show up for this.'” Andrews says she doesn’t really know what to do about it at this point, because nothing legal that she’s tried has seemed to phase her imposter. And sure enough, on both Apple Music and Spotify there are a ton of songs that have been released under Jessica’s name, including multiple albums of poorly-produced cover songs and even a Christmas album. Just this past week, after the interview with Bones, the imposter even released a cover of Taylor Swift’s “Look What You Made Me Do” that’s currently on Andrews’ official Spotify profile – and even features a cover photo of Andrews and Bones. Insane. And to make the whole story more bizarre, Bones revealed that after the interview on the situation aired, the imposter called into his show and left a voicemail with her side of the story: “She claimed at the very beginning of the voicemail that she never impersonated her by booking shows or releasing music. But then she ended the voicemail by saying if Andrews would just release music then she would no longer be threatening to her.” Bones ultimately offered the woman $500 to knock it off, but it doesn’t seem like she has any intention of stopping any time soon. The whole thing has to be terrifying for Andrews, and is beyond bizarre to everyone else, including those who go to streaming platforms looking for her music. Hopefully she’s able to put an end to the whole situation soon, but in the meantime we’ve reached out to Spotify and Apple Music for comment on the situation and will report back if we hear anything on what’s being done to protect Andrews and her music.
