What makes me unique is that, I'm normal.

I'm in college at North Carolina State University. I'm about to start my sophomore year and have an apartment on campus with three buddies I've grown up with. I get to be normal when I'm there, and then I tour Thursday through Sunday.

I'm still single, but me and Lauren are really really really close friends.

When you're out there talking about your faith and what you believe in, you'll face some backlash. But mostly, I've received support.

Country music is me, it's what I've grown up with, and it's what I do.

I've dealt with losing close ones before, and I've been around friends that have lost friends at a young age. I think it's important to think about - not necessarily death, but about life and think about where you're going and how you want to be remembered and the legacy you want to leave.

I was watching the show last year and it didn't even cross my mind that this could even happen.
