You never take your fans for granted. You always appreciate them every show, night in, night out.

I always want to make an album that lets people immerse in it, kind of like you get caught up in a good movie.

When the show opens, fans can text to a number we flash up on the screen, and then we do a meet-and-greet with 60 to 80 people every night. It's something I love doing, and I would say that's probably more fans than most artists bring backstage after a show.

It's a good community, country music, because we get the chance to sit down and... me and Tim McGraw spend a lot of time. Me and Kenny Chesney had the opportunity to spend a lot of time together. It's been a lot of great advice through the years.

A big part of country music is a way of life, at least from my standpoint. That's how I craft my music from my own life experiences.

Anytime I sing the anthem, it is an honor and my heart beats out of my chest.

A lot of people don't have near the amount of success as I've been blessed to have, and it's all about working hard and hoping that continues.
