  "account": "Stella Lefty, the country music sensation whose hit \"Boston\" has held the No. 1 spot on Billboard's Country Airplay chart for a record-breaking second consecutive week, has parted ways with her management company, Disruptor Management. Lefty, whose father Eric Lefkofsky is now taking over her career, has also secured a sold-out tour for November. Her rise to fame, marked by a No. 1 debut single and a No. 11 debut album, has been both celebrated and criticized, with some questioning her authenticity and songwriting originality. Despite this, Lefty has garnered support from country music icons Randy Travis and Kelsea Ballerini, as well as from the industry at large. Disruptor Management, along with a joint label venture through Sony, will continue to represent a roster of talented artists.",
