It's important I deliver a great show and a good time.
I got my first handgun license when I was 22.
I've been on big tours ever since I started, but you can't just go out there and headline, you have to do it right.
Falling in love is awesome, but I'm never drawn to happy songs per se, so whenever you sit down to write a heartbreak song and you're happily in love, it's like, 'OK, now I have to go back to a sad place to get something good.'
I think I find new idols every day - someone that says something really inspiring, is successful, has character.
My parents are private investigators for God's sake.
Junk food drags you down.
I'm an outdoors girl - I like to go fishing, riding four-wheelers, hunting.
I hope my music sets up the platform for me to be able to do lots of things - to have a cowboy-boot line, maybe, or do a perfume or makeup deal.
My mom always says I cut my teeth on the church pew.
I don't want to get pigeonholed.

My shows are always a mix of songs from all my albums with some rocking covers thrown in for fun.
I also have a different, softer side, and I want for people to hear that.
If you don't stand for something, how can anyone respect what you do?
I am incredibly thankful for the strong support I have from my peers in the industry and of course my amazing fans.
I sucked in school.
