The whole show experience is something that is really important to me. I love creating a world that fans step into for a few hours, and soundcheck is the quiet before the chaos begins!

I've been out on the road supporting Keith Urban and Kelly Clarkson this past year. As an opener, you get the crowd warmed up with a shorter set time. As a headliner, It's been so fun to be able to play a fuller show, especially all of the album cuts we haven't done in awhile.

Pre-show, we filmed a little something for CMT and I showed my friend Cody Alan some boxing tips straight from the "Miss Me More" music video. Ha!

Trisha Yearwood sent me all of these gorgeous flowers to welcome me into the Opry family. It was so thoughtful and sweet and I'm just such a massive fan of hers.

Moments like this are priceless. I remember going to as many shows as I could growing up and being on the other side. Having this connection is everything.

At my Opry induction night, the Opry gifted me this bedazzled, cropped Grand Ole Opry tee. It felt perfect to add for my hometown show!

We had a big celebration after my hometown show, complete with a piñata. Also complete with my lack of coordination to successfully hit it.

This was the first time [my husband] Morgan saw the tour. He watched me put together all of the concepts and I ran a bunch of ideas by him, so having him there to see it all come to life made it even more special.
