00:00All right, let's get this thing going right here, okay?
00:02Joining us now is a woman who has absolutely dominated the country charts the last couple years.
00:07She is from Munhill, Pennsylvania.
00:10She is one of eight children, God bless her mother, Pam.
00:13And now she has a baby girl of her own named Bela.
00:16She is a Pisces.
00:18Give it up for five-time platinum artist, Gabby Barrett.
00:23Thank you, thank you, thank you very much.
00:26You got it.
00:26Well, give it up for Pam, by the way.
00:27Let's give it up for Pam.
00:29That is hilarious.
00:30Nobody ever, like, mentions my mom's name in interviews, so that is so funny that you just said that.
00:36I'm going to have to tell her about that.
00:38Hey, we rolled the red carpet for Gabby Barrett and her mom.
00:42Hey, Gabby, how you doing?
00:44I'm great.
00:45How are you?
00:46I'm doing great.
00:47How's mom duty going?
00:48It's going good.
00:49It is going grand.
00:51She's growing like a weed, and so we're doing good.
00:55How old now?
00:56She will be ten months in two days.
00:58Oh, wow.
00:59So, is things getting easier, sleeping through the night?
01:02You're getting more sleep?
01:03She's thankfully started sleeping through the night at five months old, so I am very, very
01:08thankful for that.
01:10Different challenges, you know, for every different age, set of age, so, but she's doing really
01:17good.
01:17She's a good baby.
01:17Now, Pam, obviously, with the experience we just talked about, what are some of the tips
01:22that she's giving you about being a mom early on?
01:25I mean, like, enjoy every moment, even like the frustrating moments, even when you're tired,
01:31because it really does go by in the blink of an eye, and, you know, you can never get
01:36that time back with them when they're that little.
01:38So, that is truly what I have been trying to do since she's been born, and so that's
01:45always a good piece of advice.
01:47So, I have to ask, I mean, you have to do a lot of events where you're very dressed up
01:52and your hair's all done.
01:53I mean, has anything ever happened where you had a moment, you're holding your daughter,
01:58and you're like, oh, no, I should have been holding her at this time.
02:01Now she's, like, ruined my dress or anything?
02:02No, thankfully, she's not, like, pooped or, like, thrown up or something on one of the
02:10outfits.
02:10It's probably because my stylist and everybody's just, like, they don't even, like, let me touch
02:15the dress, basically.
02:17They're like, don't touch anything, especially if it's white.
02:20If it's white, because, like, you can get makeup on it or whatever, and it'll show up
02:25on everything.
02:25So, I don't even pick her up after I'm dressed.
02:28I can imagine.
02:29You can't.
02:29Yeah, we eliminate all that.
02:31Yeah, you can't.
02:32That's great.
02:33Well, you've done this a couple times around, but speaking of getting dressed up and going
02:36to these award shows, I mean, I'm sure you watched them on TV growing up, and now you're
02:40in the audience.
02:41You're nominated for things.
02:43I mean, that has got to be a crazy feeling.
02:46It is.
02:46It really is.
02:47Just being on the CMAs recently and performing on the show, I mean, it was just a total 360
02:55moment for me, because I was the girl that sat on the floor in the living room watching
03:01the TV and would rush home to watch the awards and try to guess who won each category and,
03:06you know, would be sad or happy with whoever won and whatever and watch all the performances,
03:12and it's just crazy now that, you know, it's flip-flopped.
03:16I'm the one on the stage performing, and somebody at home is able to watch and root for you.
03:20So, it's amazing.
03:22Can I ask you a question about Idol real quick?
03:24Yeah.
03:24Okay, so, talking about performing at the CMAs and then performing at these live shows
03:28for Idol, I mean, is that just a completely different beast, or do you think Idol kind
03:32of got you ready for that?
03:34I mean, I still don't think I'm ready for it now.
03:36I was insanely nervous, but on Idol, I was actually really nervous as well.
03:43It was just, I don't know, maybe it did prepare me a little bit just because that was my real
03:49first throw into, you know, performing in front of a live camera and a live audience that
03:55I did kind of every week.
03:57So, I would say overall, it definitely helped.
04:00Yeah, but you're performing in front of all these, you know.
04:03Who's sitting in the seats now matters, you know.
04:05You know, exactly.
04:06Is there anybody at the show that you were at recently that you were just like so starstruck
04:11to meet, or you're still like fumbled over your words when you met them?
04:15Who, who?
04:16Yes, Chris Stapleton.
04:17Oh, wow.
04:18Chris Stapleton, oh my gosh.
04:21I love Chris Stapleton, and I met him and his wife, Morgan, and it was on the carpet,
04:27and it was very brief.
04:29What do you say to him?
04:30Oh, we just went up to him, like my publicist, like introduced me, and I was like, hi, I'm
04:37such a big fan.
04:39I love it.
04:41So, Gabby Barrett says it's okay to say it then.
04:43Yeah, exactly.
04:44He was so chill, and I was so not, so hopefully it didn't blow my cover, but.
04:50That's awesome.
04:50Listen, there are artists that have been doing this for decades that say the exact same thing
04:55that you just said.
04:55Like, they are, it's like, that guy is unreal.
04:58Like, he's unbelievable.
04:59So, it's okay to be that way around him.
05:01One last question, Gabby.
05:02Is there a song out there?
05:04It could be a pop song, a country song that you wish you would have recorded?
05:08You cannot use Stapleton, though, Gabby.
05:12Dang it.
05:14Um, let me look at my playlist of what I have left.
05:17Yeah, let's hear it.
05:18What's the last song that you played on your phone right now?
05:21Recently played.
05:22Probably, um, We Didn't Have Much by Justin Moore.
05:26I freaking love that song.
05:27That is a great song.
05:29I'd say that song.
05:30Well, Gabby, Goldmine Deluxe Album out now.
05:32Thank you for your time.
05:33Please tell Pam hello for us.
05:35She is a star.
05:36I will.
05:37And we appreciate your time.
05:38Have a great day, okay?
05:40Thank y'all.
05:41Have a good holiday.
05:41Thanks, Jay.
05:42All right, you too.
