Promise me this, that you'll stand by me forever. But if God forbid Fate should step in and force us into a goodbye. If you have children someday, when they point to the pictures please tell them my name. Tell them how the crowd went wild, tell them how I hope they shine.

I’m beginning to think that you don’t find happiness from living your life looking ahead or back… that you find it when you look around.

If you want some big revelation, since 2010 I have dated exactly two people. The fact that there are slide shows of a dozen guys that I either hugged on a red carpet or met for lunch or wrote a song with ... it's just kind of ridiculous.

To truly love is to have the courage to walk away and let the other person who wishes to be free go no matter how much it hurts.

It can be heartbreaking when you find out that your fairytale image of the world doesn't match the reality.

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.

I love making new friends and I respect people for a lot of different reasons.
