I was always suspicious and looking over my shoulder because that's how I was raised.

I feel like I've started to grow up and be more of a woman instead of this crazy girl.

Don't get me wrong, I love my first two albums a lot.

We write so many songs, it is difficult to narrow them down.

Texas people are really strong in their roots. I started writing and playing guitar at 17. I've always loved music, and my dad is a singer-songwriter.

I do write a lot from personal experience, but I also embellish a bit.

I literally wouldn't have dreamed of it in a million years that I'm going to be standing there with George (Strait) and Garth and Kenny (Chesney) and Reba (McEntire) and Brooks & Dunn. I don't really have any clue what I'm actually doing with those people because I feel like I'm still just getting started and I've seen them all in concert and they're all my heroes.
