Growing up in east Tennessee gave me my country roots, my twang, and a lot of my stories.

Growing up, I remember thinking country music was all honky-tonks and beer and trucks - Britney Spears was my first concert.

I was raised on a farm in East Tennessee, and my first concert was Britney Spears. It's my job as a country music artist to be honest about that.

There is a lot of learning I have to do and a lot of growing up I have to do.

Growing up on a mountain in Tennessee, I spent most of my childhood outside.

I did a lot of musicals growing up.
