I see my fans as music lovers. I really love that. There's no age group or demographic. It's people of all ages and backgrounds. Country people and non-country people. I wanted to make music across the board.
Undeniably, I'm a country singer; I'm a country songwriter. But I feel like I make country music for people who like country music and for people who don't.
I'm thrilled that country music fans like my stuff, but so do a lot of people outside of country music, people who just love music. My goal is more to reach music lovers than to appeal to a genre. I love country music, and I'm proud to represent it, but I don't obsess over it as a category.
I had a blast on tour with Little Big Town. We got to play some beautiful rooms around the country - some really amazing old theaters. And it was just cool to see a band that's been together for so long.
The more country that my music gets, the less it fits into the country world today. It's almost like there needs to be two genres, modern country and... country?
I'd rather be more of the hippie country chick - as in, instead of pointing a finger, just maybe saying, 'We're all screw-ups. We're all in this kind of together. We're all just figuring this out.'
I'm really proud to be a woman representing Country music
When I was nine, I was singing western swing: Roy Rogers and Patsy Cline. It got me noticed because no one my age was doing it, but it made me feel inferior because none of my friends could relate to it.
I love vintage cowboy boots, and some days I'm into platform stilettos encrusted in jewels. It's really all over the place.
I like to make people think a little bit.
I don't push buttons to push buttons. Throwing the rebel card out there is really cheap.
I do try to shop online and support people who hand-make their stuff, and because you can find stuff that nobody else has.
I did tennis for a while, and I was actually on the volleyball team for a minute.
Fame freaks me out. Do you just wake up different? I don't know how to scale it back if it gets too crazy.
