'Peter Pan,' I think, was a game-changer. That was the first song that really had some heartbeat to it... I think that's the song that got people's attention.
I'm a huge fan of the Chainsmokers - like, huge. Like, I would love to collaborate with them.
The Grammys are just the pinnacle of music.
I went to my first CMA Music Fest when I was 14 and waited in line for two hours to meet two people: Taylor Swift and Hillary Scott from Lady Antebellum. It's very ironic but not accidental that those two people refer to me as their 'little sister' now.
I love having that conversation with someone I've never met before who's enjoying something that I wrote and being able to connect and share that.
The thing that's been most important to me is being interactive with people that are listening to my music.
I wanted to be a vet. I really thought that's what I wanted to do.
I'm not super traditional at all.
I feel like if you just walk with a purpose, people will think you're supposed to be there. That's my life theory.
Women in country music have always been a staple and always been important.
Honestly, I'm such a shoe girl. I like to save money, and I like to spend money on shoes.
I've always been drawn to the message of 'Be yourself. Love yourself.' I need to be reminded of that all time.
It's been really cool to me to watch someone like Sam Hunt, whose lyrics and roots are in country but you can hear that he listens to Drake and Justin Timberlake - and that's OK. It allows songwriters to be more honest because it's like, 'This is who I'm listening to.'
I've never been scared, but I'm very naive.
It's really cool when, in every genre of music, you can listen to a song and know what era it was from.
It's so fun to make up stories, but I find that the songs that I'm most proud of came from a real thing in my life - 'Peter Pan' being one of those.
It wasn't supposed to work - being a new artist, a female artist, an artist on an independent. That's what made it so much sweeter when we hit No. 1.
I love Taylor Swift, and I've always been such a fan of her.
Sometimes, if I really just need to unwind and kind of watch something that isn't gonna stress me out or have drama in it, I watch 'Spongebob.'
I really like food. Honestly, anytime I have time off, I binge-watch Netflix and eat chicken tenders. That's my guilty pleasure. Separate or together!
