I have a wonderful family: My parents are churchgoing, salt-of-the-earth Southern people. They gave me a lot of love and are so unaffected by fame.

Nashville was totally different than I ever dreamed. I had only seen the music business on television and been to a couple of concerts. I had no clue.

I'm very competitive but in a very nice way.

Country music fans are extremely supportive. Once they're with you, they're with you for life.

I drink a lot of water and I never leave the house without putting on moisturizer and lip gloss.
