I've studied live shows and artists for so long. I got the tour documentaries and all that and watched them. I love a show. I love an artist that can do all of it.

I really want people to know I'm a songwriter.

The artists that I relate to and love the most are the ones where I can listen to the record, and I can know them better, and for me, that's writing it.

I want to stay where I am. I'm stoked to be a country artist.

Even though there are incredible songs floating around Nashville, it's important for me to have my voice heard.

I love that on country radio, you can hear a George Strait song, and the next is Sam Hunt. I love that there's such a variety.

I was a huge Jonas Brothers fan, unapologetically, when I was 12 or 13.

The Grammys to me, well, that's my peers. That's the industry thinking what I do is good.

I've always been a big, bold thinker and a dreamer.

Me and my mom made a deal that if something would happen to help me get my start in music, I could get out of college.

I used to walk around trying to do the Britney Spears growl: 'Oh, baby, baby.'

I'm in this wave with Maddie & Tae and RaeLynn and Mickey Guyton and Cam. We're all kind of finding our niches and becoming successful. I think that it's just been really fun to be with them and do this all together.

Honestly, I was a fan before I got the opportunity to be an artist. I was the kind of fan who would stand in line or post a cover video.

I feel a loyalty to my favorite artists, and to have my fans feel that, for me, is a special bond because I've been there for so long.

There are certain days I will get home, and something will pop up on my Twitter, and I will just cry about it. I get so overwhelmed that I get to do what I do.

Getting to do shows with Lady Antebellum, Keith Urban, and Sam Hunt is just awesome. It's so inspiring because I grew up such fans of Lady A and Keith, and to be able to sing my songs on the same stage as them and then stand side stage and watch them is just a really special thing.
