My favorite advice that I always go to is ever since I was in middle school is from my mom. Every day before I left the house, she would say Remember who you are. Every day. So when I started getting into music, every day she sends me a text saying, Remember who you are and remember why you're doing this.

When I went to my first CMA Fest, I wanted to be an artist, but I was such a fan girl - I still am - and the two people I waited in line to meet were Taylor Swift and Lady Antebellum. Taylor, I haven't gotten to sit and talk with her as much as I hope I get to one day, but even with her just supporting me on her social media has been incredible.
