I love when an artist can stand by themselves and play their guitar and hold a crowd, but I also love bells and whistles.

I've studied live shows and artists for so long. I got the tour documentaries and all that and watched them. I love a show. I love an artist that can do all of it.

I love that on country radio, you can hear a George Strait song, and the next is Sam Hunt. I love that there's such a variety.

I want to stay where I am. I'm stoked to be a country artist.

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.

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.
