When you are pushing yourself to not go back to the same well, you're gonna come up with something different, or you'll find songs that are different.

There are so many music genres competing against each other, but I feel like country music has always been a unified front.

I love the excitement, the childlike spirit of innocence and just about everything that goes along with Christmas.

I was homeschooled on the road for kindergarten, then went to elementary school and a private Christian school while living with my grandparents until I graduated, and I loved it. But my parents were gone a lot.

Guys are really easy to get along with. It's a lot better than being on the bus with eight girls. But the worst part is being the only girl, because there's some days where you just wanna watch a chick flick.

My parents traveled a lot, so my grandparents practically raised me. My grandmother and I really bonded in the kitchen. She's this amazing southern cook, and I would always help her - whether it was cracking eggs or stirring the green beans. It takes me back there.

You pretty much can't get away from bacon or whiskey in the South. Put a doughnut in it and you'd be good to go.
