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.

L.A. was never me. Nashville is my home.

People were always asking me who I wanted to tour with, and I always said Jason Aldean or Brad Paisley.

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 do remember the people who believed in me in the beginning. I'll never forget that.

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.

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