I think singing traditional country is wonderful, because I'm bringing it to my generation and to the younger kids.

Being where I'm at, standing in these shoes, it feels amazing. It feels like a weight has been lifted.

Reba McEntire came through town when I lived in Texas. She had this amazing theatrical show with, like, 13 different wardrobe changes. I was eight and I was like, Wow, I wanna do that!

I need honor and love in my life from somebody who's playin' for keeps. What I'm searching for is a man who'll stand by me: who will walk through the fire and be my flame in the night. I won't settle for less than what I deserve: a friend and a lover who'll love me for the rest of my life.

Keep on shining, keep on smiling, don't lose faith, and don't lose heart. When you're crying, just keep trying to remind yourself, you're a shining star, yes you are.

Like mercy from heaven's gate, there's a freedom in your arms that carries me through. I need you.

I need somebody with staying power who will make me go weak in the knees.
