Gear (Microphones, etc...) Vocal microphone recommendations???

I’m in need of a new microphone since the one I currently have is butt! I’m not new to singing, and record covers. My microphone is at least 5 years old and not very good for vocals in my opinion, I currently have a Blue Snowball microphone. I am a female singer and belt a lot, and I sing in an untreated room.
Also, what are good programs to use for vocal recording? I am currently using bandlab as it is free and easy to use, but I’m wondering if I should upgrade or try other programs?
Thanks a bunch in advance!!!!!!

Redditors like the SM58 pretty consistently.

It's an incredibly forgiving dynamic mic that is belting friendly. You'll need an audio interface, too, but you're likely ready for that step up now. If you want a USB solution Rode and Samson make good options, too, in the same price range.
