There's a lot of pressure putting an album out all over the world and hoping people everywhere like it.

My experience with songwriting is usually so confessional, it's so drawn from my own life and my own stories.

When I was a teenager, my biggest lessons came from Kenny Chesney, Tim McGraw, George Strait, Rascal Flatts and Brad Paisley. I learned so much from opening up for those artists, and it also taught me how to treat your opening acts and make them feel like they're part of a family, not just a tour.

Some of the most beautiful people in the whole world wake up some days and they don't think that they're pretty.

And you know there’s nothing like writing a song about someone who’s mean to you, and just makes your life miserable…and then winning a Grammy for it.

My hope for the future, not just in the music industry, but in every young girl I meet…is that they all realize their worth and ask for it.

I second-guess and overthink and rethink every single thing that I do.
