EW is the one that labeled her a special guest star and that was the most recent terminology used. I think she is probably elevated higher than someone who is just recurring because she is a more notable name. In fact, of everyone in that picture, Hayden and Rachel are really the ones most likely to be known in general outside of the Nashville fandom. (I know some of the others would be known by fans of previous shows they were on - Kaitlin, JJ and Chris - but they still aren't household names). Maybe they still wanted to promote her involvement with the show to try to draw in people who know who she is and liked her on other shows.
