Thank you @cma @essence @theshaderoom and @abc(who’s next) 🙏🏽❤️” she wrote under a post on her Instagram page.

“The people around me convinced me that it was time to live,” she said about moving back to Tennessee in 2021. “I just had been feeling so empty. I moved to Nashville, and it was the best experience of my life. I could live my life and it’s right up the street from my parents.”
“I’m a new artist in Country, so it’s sort of like starting over,” added the versatile singer who revealed that she worked with Country stars Morgan Wallen and Brittney Spencer on her upcoming Puddin debut.
