My songs are my stories... good, bad, ugly, beautiful.
Growing up in east Tennessee gave me my country roots, my twang, and a lot of my stories.
It's really humbling to be acknowledged by such established names like CMT and Billboard.
As a young woman, I just think there's something really confident and empowering about being able to flirt back.
Growing up, I remember thinking country music was all honky-tonks and beer and trucks - Britney Spears was my first concert.
I've always been drawn to strong women in every genre, people who push the boundaries because they're just epic.
I write everything. It's my favorite part of what I do. And lyrics are my favorite thing.
I'm a talker.
I just want to be real and who I am. That's something I'd feel comfortable with any little girl looking up to, so that's who I try to be.
I want to be a good person first and a good artist second.
Songwriting was a gift that came to me when I needed it the most.
When I was 12, I was going through an awkward time. Writing music helped me find my voice and express the things I was feeling.
When I was 15, my mom and I packed everything up and moved to Nashville so I could pursue my dream in music.
On stage, you can get away with more, so I definitely use that to my advantage and go bolder with fashion, hair, and makeup. I love a smoky eye and long lashes.
My favorite festival beauty look is definitely braids and hats: a messy fishtail braid and a cute outfit, and I'm ready!
I feel like it's been so crazy to get to open for people like Rascal Flatts, Lady A, Billy Currington.
My favorite thing ever is walking into a room and there's like, shoes and dresses and sparkles in the room. It's a good time.
No matter how exhausted I am after a show, I always take my makeup off. Even if it's just with a remover wipe.
I grew up loving music and being super involved in church choir and school musicals and such, but when I started writing is when I fell in love with the idea of doing it for the rest of my life.
I love getting facials. I've even started doing microdermabrasion to keep all the makeup and dirt out of my pores. And when I'm traveling, I'll always grab a moisturizing face mask.
