When I’m with my parents, that’s the place I can unplug. That’s the place I can shut down and not worry about work or what’s going on. I go home and hang out with them. I sleep more there than any place else ever.
I eat things I shouldn’t eat all the time. I have to work out so I can enjoy myself! I like to run, and I’ll do body weight stuff: push-ups, squats, lunges, pull-ups.
I’m extremely happy, but I don’t do love songs for the most part. It feels weird; that’s such a personal thing to me. I’d rather live that in my real life and play a different character outside of that.
I love making music and all that, but at the end of the day I don’t think that’s what people are going to remember about a person.
I have to stay hydrated so I don’t pass out onstage!
I’m not the person in person that I am on stage.
Animals were my pets, and the thought of eating my pets freaked me out.
Brad Paisley has always been really great to me, and that’s no secret.
Growing up, I played softball and I was a cheerleader.
I do not like people touching my underwear. That’s just weird! I travel with a washer and dryer, and I like cooking on the bus, too.
I feel like I am a celebrity for no reason, like people are resentful I didn’t have to play bars for 10 years to get a record deal.
I grew up in church, and I have a wonderful family that always supported that.
I love having my hair and makeup done for red carpets, but to have that done every day would be exhausting.
I love Kashi. I eat cereal like a little kid. I carry it in my purse.
I try to stay away from carb-y things at dinner.
We see new male artists have their first single reach No. 1 on the charts, but it generally takes a female a lot longer to build momentum.
Writing down everything I eat makes such a difference, because you never realize how much you’re consuming unless you read it later in the day.
I like to dance around the house when I’m getting ready. It gets my day going.
I’d sleep in a little, work out, do laundry, run errands, buy presents for people with birthdays coming up. I like it when I don’t have to be anywhere, and anything I do is my choice.
But as far as Twitter, I’ll be in a restaurant and I’ll get home and somebody tweeted and they talked about what I ordered and what I was wearing. In some cases, that could be dangerous, because you don’t want everybody to know where you are every second of every day.
