Heartbreak is good fuel for country songs. And cheating.

Music was the first thing I did where I was naturally talented.

There's room for everyone. There's room for pop country, for 'rock & roll' country, for stone-cold country, and everything in-between. Great music is great music.

At the very beginning of my career I felt very strongly about what type of artist I wanted to be.

I used to play for 200 people and now I'm selling out places that hold 16,000 people. It's a big change, and it's so cool to see people out there screaming the words to songs that I wrote. It just really reassures me that what I'm doing is working, and it really boosts my confidence, as far as on stage as a performer and a writer.

I'm an outdoors girl - I like to go fishing, riding four-wheelers, hunting.

Be confident and comfortable with yourself. If you know us, we are definitely not shy, and never try to be anything we are not. No matter what anyone tells you, you are perfect, just the way you are.
