I stood in front of Sony (Music headquarters) out here, I stood right in front of the building with a jam box and a tape player, singing my heart out,
Even though I hate acting, I love doing videos for my songs.
Oh, there's all these rumors that I'm a lesbian. I have a boyfriend now, Brandon Blackstock; my manager Narvel's son, Reba McEntire's stepson.
I've got a song on One Direction's album called 'Tell Me A Lie'. It's a really cute song - I love it. I loved that they liked it. They sound really great on it. I already have it - I'm so VIP with my copy on my computer! It does sound really good.
You don't know a thing about me
I stand before you and my heart is in your hands, And I don't know how, I'd survive without your kiss, 'cause you've given me a reason to exist
I'm the perfect amount of guarded. I don't reveal too much, and I never reveal who the songs are about. They are real life. People get that. I date a lot of musicians and they do the same thing. People that work with me - who I write about too - they get it. It's my creative outlet, my therapy.
When I'm picking songs for an album I always want a song that I can relate to and that I have experienced. There's nothing worse than watching an artist try and sell a song that isn't believable coming from them.
I know a lot of artists say, `If you want your song on my record, I get 50 per cent' I'd like to kick them in the face.
I sing songs that I have lived or I write them because I have lived them. I think the believability factor is key.
Everyone knew I didn't want to do it, but I had to, ... and I don't particularly want to do more.
Everyone says I'm like the girl next door...Y'all must have really weird neighbors!
I want to show up in a pimped-out Ford Bronco,
I'm excited to be participating in the T-Mobile All Access program, ... I can't wait to hook up with some of my fans and hang out backstage. Performing in New York City is always special, and I am really excited to play at the Hammerstein Ballroom.
