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

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.

In Los Angeles there's, like, this awful image because the girls are so skinny. I don't think it's attractive whatsoever, and I also think that it gives a bad image to kids that are in their early teens. It's not healthy.

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

I'm from Michigan and a down-home girl.

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