That's the problem. There is no answer.
Categorisations of music are used for matters of convience only. It is not merely a case of lines "being blurred", the lines don't exist in the first place.
Your question can only be properly posed in a manner such as:
If you owned a record store, on what shelf would you place Shania Twain's album?
Well, the intelligent answer to that question would be that you should place it where your customers would most likely expect to find it.
So "defining" musical categorisations becomes a circular exercise.
If people "think" Shania Twain is pop, then it's pop, if people "think" it's country, then it's country, but either way it has absolutely no bearing on the actual content of the music.
