The show was produced by Reese Witherspoon and Kacey Musgraves, and followed established artists Orville Peck, Jimmie Allen and Mickey Guyton as they scouted for talent around the world.

Kleinsmith's EP, Butterfly, was released through Platoon on Apple Music Friday after she was declared the winner.

Kleinsmith said she was "honored and excited" to have scored the show's grand prize.

"This competition has been such a blessing and I'm just so grateful to have been able to learn from so many other talented artists on a global platform like Apple TV+," she added.

"My Kind of Country gave me an opportunity that wouldn't normally have been available to me in the industry, and highlights the need for country music to open its doors to new talent and new ideas. Thank you to Jimmie Allen, Mickey Guyton, Orville Peck, Reese Witherspoon and Kacey Musgraves for giving me this chance. I can't wait for fans to check out my new EP Butterfly on Apple Music."
