When something hits you, you better go with it.

I was the kid jamming out to the songs on the radio, and now there's hopefully kids out there jamming out to my music.
-
You get to tell your story through your music if you choose to.

Whether it's a show or an interview, the way I look at it is that one day people might not want to interview me. So I want to enjoy this ride while I can.

Before I ever had my record deal, I just had a publishing deal over at Sony ATV. I had that title, 'Flatliner,' and just the idea of a girl stopping everybody's heart - just kind of a fun idea.

My dad always believed in me. He was always kind of, 'All right, buddy, if that's what you want to do...' My mom was always more of a realist.

I'm not the only one who has ever lost somebody; I'm not the only one who was missing somebody. That's what I love about country music, that's what I love about songwriters, is being able to put out those words, those feelings.

If I start putting too much pressure on myself, that's something my mama is there to help with.
-
I'm not very patient.

I am so happy to be able to do what I love. To have the songs I've written for other artists go No. 1 and my songs go to No. 1 has been amazing.

Having Dierks Bentley on a song is one of the coolest things I've ever gotten to experience. For one, him agreeing to do a song with me but two, getting to share that moment in the studio.

My first album, I had to write everything. Nobody was going to send me stuff just because I had a little success.

Whenever it was spring break, someone would always have a guitar down at the beach, and they'd play a random song, and I'd sing. Eventually, hearing compliments from people saying I sounded pretty good stuck with me.

Georgia Southern was such a big part of me getting my start.
-
I wanted to get better at writing, so I knew I needed to move to Nashville.
-
Being a big Braves fan, Turner Field would be cool to play a show at.
-
I know how music makes me feel; I know how it affects my life.
-
As an artist, as a person, I don't want to be here for just a little while.
-
When I say I'm living the dream, I honestly don't know how it can get any better.

I had a publishing deal way before I had a record deal.
-
There's families all across the country that miss people, but there's nothing like military families.

It's just crazy to have a dream - have a plan - and then it all just kind of comes true. To me, that proves that you have to have a vision first.
