No one has the right to criticize you for how your body looks, but they will. One thing I've learned from experiencing this exact kind of criticism is that no one else can label your body except for you. No one gets to have a place in your mind if they weren't invited there by you. So please do me this one favor: Don't let their ugly words into your beautiful mind.

My definition of country music is really pretty simple. It's when someone sings about their life and what they know, from an authentic place.

If something happens to me, you're going to hear about it. I only know how to write songs about my life.
