When I was nine, I was singing western swing: Roy Rogers and Patsy Cline. It got me noticed because no one my age was doing it, but it made me feel inferior because none of my friends could relate to it.
I love vintage cowboy boots, and some days I'm into platform stilettos encrusted in jewels. It's really all over the place.
I like to make people think a little bit.
I don't push buttons to push buttons. Throwing the rebel card out there is really cheap.
I do try to shop online and support people who hand-make their stuff, and because you can find stuff that nobody else has.
I did tennis for a while, and I was actually on the volleyball team for a minute.
Fame freaks me out. Do you just wake up different? I don't know how to scale it back if it gets too crazy.
A lot of what gets on the radio isn't saying anything other than somebody wants to be famous and will do whatever they're told to get it.
If the lyrics are something new, then maybe I want to give it a more traditional form, or the other way around, but not have all one or the other.
I realize that I'm not going to be everybody's cup of tea, and that's okay. I think that's the point of music.
My personal style is a big mix. A lot of it's pretty vintage. I love vintage looks. I'm obsessed with the mid '60s era, even '70s, it was a good era for clothes, hair, music, and cars.
I used to love, and I still do, Lee Ann Womack. And Alison Krauss. I mean, how many Grammys does she have? She's just remained solid and true and great, and I respect that.
I see my fans as music lovers. I really love that. There's no age group or demographic. It's people of all ages and backgrounds. Country people and non-country people. I wanted to make music across the board.
A label's typical plan would be to put something out that's safer and get fans, and then push buttons, but my idea is to push buttons first, scare off the people who are gonna be scared off, and then the right people will like you for who you really are, and stay with you.
