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.

I'm from Michigan, but I'm just as country as anyone else. Maybe I don't have the speaking voice of most country singers, but it is what I love. It's how I've always sung, and it's what I grew up on.

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

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.

I love sports. So if I was like a sports anchor or something like that. I would love to do that.

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.
