[Carnival Ride] is part of a line from my favorite song on the album, "Wheel of the World." It sums up everything that's happened to me. It's nuts to think of where I was a couple of years ago.

I'm not the first person to sing about God, Jesus, faith [or] any of that, and I won't be the last. And it won't be the last for me, either. If you don't like it, change the channel.

I have been called the human jukebox, yes. But karaoke is not meant for people who can sing!

My very first magazine cover was the National Enquirer.

[When] opportunities present themselves, I take them. It's just how I roll!

I love being around my friends and my family and spending time with my husband. I like being normal and recharging my batteries, and I feel like I have the coolest job in the world where I get to get on stage and perform and get to do a lot of really amazing things.

I honestly in a lot of ways don't want to sing about my real life, because that's private.
