I don't have big security guards. I don't have an entourage.
I didn't always have 14,000 people wanting to hang out with me on a Saturday night.
I get nervous for everything - literally everything.
I think that when you're making your way up in the music industry, you have all these heroes and the reasons why they are your heroes. As soon as you get into the industry, your guidelines change a little bit. For me, my heroes now are great people first and great artists second.
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.
It is possible for a woman to be a romantic, but also to be single and to be happy.
I keep one eye on the path I didn't choose every day.
When I was 8 years old, it mattered what my favorite singer said and wore and expressed opinions about. And if I have a chance to matter to the growth and hopes and wishes of little girls, that's something I can't take lightly. So I do factor them in when I'm thinking about what to wear, and what to say, and whether or not to go out to bars even thought I'm not twenty-one.
All I ever do is learn from my mistakes so I don't make the same ones again. Then I make new ones.
Every day was a struggle. Forget making plans for life - we were just trying to make it to next week.
Through it all nobody gets me like you do.
You've got every right to a beautiful life
You only get so many firsts, each one is a blessing.
I don’t drink to get drunk. That’s just not cute.
