00:00 How's it going?

00:01 I'm doing so well. How are you doing?

00:02 I'm great. I would think you're doing well.

00:04 You have a pretty hot smash right now,

00:06 if I do say so myself, with Austin.

00:07 It's pretty crazy.

00:08 I, like, can't even believe it's happening.

00:10 It's pretty wild.

00:11 It is just growing day after day.

00:12 Are you on TikTok watching everything,

00:15 or are you trying to keep a healthy distance?

00:16 I'm trying to keep a little healthy distance,

00:18 but also every time I hop in there, it's like,

00:19 "Did your boots? Did your boots? Did your boots?"

00:21 And I'm like, "Okay. That's enough."

00:23 But I'm so grateful.

00:25 It's just, like, been the wildest ride of my entire life.

00:26 Yeah.

00:27 And it's crazy that my first breakout single, like,

00:29 got me here, you know?

00:31 It's insane.

00:32 Major label deal, everything.

00:33 Major label deal, the whole nine yards.

00:35 Yes.

00:36 You also are bringing back line dancing,

00:38 which is, like, an unintentional side effect.

00:40 Yeah, kind of.

00:41 I mean, I, like, genuinely go line dancing

00:43 all the time in Nashville,

00:44 and so my intention behind that was, one,

00:46 seeing, like, people at my concerts.

00:49 Line dancing would be the coolest thing in the entire world,

00:51 but also, like, I want to bring back

00:53 that culture of line dancing to, like, to the world

00:56 and, like, to, like, my generation

00:58 that kind of lost it, you know?

01:00 I did it in gym class, and that was the last time.

01:02 Exactly. No, literally.

01:03 Everyone always says that.

01:04 Like, I kind of learned in gym class,

01:05 but I'm like, "No, it's time to go when we can drink

01:07 and have a good time."

01:08 It's a whole different thing, so, yeah.

01:11 So, you also -- The music video's stunning.

01:12 You have one of my favorites, Jaden Hossler, in it.

01:14 Oh, I love Jaden.

01:16 Tell me a little bit about how that came to be.

01:18 Jaden and I have been friends for a couple years now.

01:21 My brother's band went on tour with him,

01:22 and that's how we met.

01:24 Jaden's just an angel, and when I got with Hunter Marino

01:26 to direct the video, he is also really good friends with Jaden.

01:29 And it just kind of worked out perfectly,

01:30 where Jaden was down to be the deadbeat boyfriend.

01:33 And on screen, it was crazy.

01:35 Like, we were getting so into these characters

01:37 we were playing, so it made it easy for, like, me

01:39 and him to, like, commit to the roles

01:41 and, like, make it such, like, an acting-heavy music video,

01:43 which was my intention from the beginning.

01:45 And so I'm just really proud of that video, and I --

01:47 It's a really short film.

01:48 Yeah, no, I wanted it to be, like, a short movie.

01:50 Exactly.

01:51 You walk offstage, and you're like, "I hate you."

01:53 "I'm not a fan of this scene."

01:54 Literally, there was a scene where we were, like,

01:56 putting the towels back and forth,

01:57 and my heart was beating so fast.

01:59 I was like, "Oh, my God, you're, like, actually, like --"

02:01 Like, I'm scared of you right now.

02:02 And after every scene, we would do that.

02:04 He'd be like, "I love you. Are you good? Are you good?"

02:06 And I'm like, "He's such an angel."

02:07 So he's great.

02:09 Well, is there anything else you could tease for us

02:11 before I let you get in there tonight?

02:12 Oh, girl. Oh, girl. We got some music coming out.

02:14 We got a whole deluxe version of my album,

02:16 "What Happens Now," coming out late June.

02:18 So be on the lookout.

02:20 We will be ready. Thank you so much. Have so much fun.
