I wanted to make a record that people could put on year after year after year, and it would never feel dated.

It's hard being away from home. But other than that, performing is the highlight of my day.

I am happy that women can relate to my songs, and hopefully men can too.

I definitely feel a difference about my place in the industry. I feel like I have some longevity now.

I do yoga, lunges, crunches, things like that for 40 minutes twice a week. For cardio I usually do the elliptical, treadmill or walking.

I believe everything in moderation. But breakfast is important. I have two hard-boiled or scrambled eggs with whole-wheat toast and try to get some fruit in there.

I just love where I am right now in my career. I love country music. I don't ever feel restricted by the genre. I've been able to have a solid career that we've built one step at a time and a family. I know that I'm in a good place.
