All I ever do is learn from my mistakes so I don't make the same ones again. Then I make new ones.

Heartbreak is the national anthem. We sing it proudly.

'Love Story' is actually about a guy that I almost dated. But when I introduced him to my family and my friends, they all said they didn't like him. All of them!

When I was 8 years old, it mattered what my favorite singer said and wore and expressed opinions about.

I don't think it should be a big deal who you love.

There are beautiful things about both being in love and being out of love. I just think you have to find those things.

I definitely think that with music my favorite thing about Nashville is that it's a music hub that accepts and allows all genres to be present, and I think there's been a kind of fusing of genres lately that for me makes me really happy and excited.
