I think music changes and it evolves.

It's honestly every time that I'm doing something, and every time I visit a station and hear my song on the radio and people buying my stuff, I'm like 'Are you kidding me? This is insane!'

I never want to be too mean with my songs, but with I Hope It Rains it was definitely somewhere in the middle with being sassy but also a little class in there as well. It was a good blend for me and who I want to be perceived as an artist.

Hockey is my favorite because I'm from Michigan. I used to figure-skate and root for the Red Wings.

I'll never sing something that I've never been through. So even if I didn't write it, I have to have at least experienced it.

I would love to do a duet with Tim McGraw. I think that would be fun.

I was a bit scared because I came from the acting world. There was a fear that people would think of me kind of as a joke. But really, people think of me as a country artist who can act. That's my favorite compliment.
