I am so grateful for BK and Tyler who worked tirelessly on this new album with me, from writing together to executive producing, they were in the studio with every step of the way.

We had so much fun with each performance take. It was the first time we had performed the song together. Hopefully, next time we can do it for an audience!

TK McKay shot the Today show performance with us. We had a blast together! After we wrapped, we all said it almost felt like we had been at Today live because we filmed at 7 a.m. in the morning.

I met Thomas Rhett for the first time just over a year ago and I am so grateful for the deep friendship that has been formed during the making of the record.

Performing the song the very first time felt as if we'd done it together many times before — it was natural.

This shot was near the end of the Today show shoot. I think we could have performed "Thank You Lord" a 100 more times... performing with Thomas, BK and Tyler is so fun.
