00:0092.5 XTU, Philly's country station, it's Nicole with Priscilla Blanc!

00:04Hi! I feel like I haven't seen you in a long time.

00:07Since XTU anniversary show, not this year, the year before.

00:10With that, we downpoured.

00:12Downpoured and hailed, and we were like outside under this random ass tent.

00:16I lost my lash.

00:18Me every single day of my life.

00:20It was, it was such a, but your interview was so great, it was like such a highlight of the day.

00:24Yeah, that's really nice.

00:26Listen, at least it was the worst part.

00:29Never!

00:30Why?

00:31I don't even think losing the eyelash was the worst part.

00:33I think like getting stuck in the hail and I got, your hair looks great by the way.

00:36Cause I got a blowout and like, then like all of the curls fell off.

00:39That was the worst part of the day.

00:40Well, your hair looks amazing today.

00:42Thank you, thank you.

00:43Wait, congratulations.

00:44Number one song on the puncher radio.

00:46It's crazy.

00:47I mean, it's my first number one.

00:49I don't even, I literally don't even know what's happening.

00:52Like I literally can't even.

00:54No, I can't.

00:55I am just like, am I dreaming?

00:57I've been on a freaking week bender.

00:59I am just so freaking hype.

01:01And it's your birthday.

01:02Happy birthday.

01:03It's the birthday.

01:04It's just like my first ever number one.

01:07I am.

01:08I cry all the time.

01:09I could cry right now.

01:10It's just, it's so cool.

01:11It's so cool.

01:12I've dreamed of this.

01:13Um, I'm so thankful to Justin and y'all for playing it.

01:16It's just, it's really, really cool.

01:18I mean, it's a smash and we played a hit.

01:20So like, there's a re you know what I mean?

01:21Like there's a reason that it's number one.

01:22It's so good.

01:24When did you guys record that?

01:25Like talk.

01:26I'm sure you told the story a million times, but you haven't told it to me.

01:28How did that all kind of come about?

01:30So I met Justin at a radio show.

01:33We were doing St. June, St. Jude benefit.

01:35And I went up to him, like just my sassy frassiness that I am.

01:40And I'm like, Hey, Justin, I know you don't know me, but my name is Priscilla.

01:43I'm just like, we're vomiting.

01:45And I'm like, literally like five years ago, I went to your album release party in Nashville.

01:50And like, I was sneaking into all the bars.

01:52And I like, cause he was doing this like album release party, downtown Nashville.

01:55And he would play one song in one bar and go to the next bar and go to the next bar.

01:59And so me and my best friend, we were sneaking into every bar and just watching the whole thing.

02:03And he's like, who is this crazy girl?

02:06You're like, I'm a Leo.

02:07Yeah, exactly.

02:08And so we played that show that night.

02:11It was a guitar pole.

02:13And he came up to me after the show.

02:15He was like, I literally had no clue who you were.

02:18And he was like, I am such a fan of you.

02:21That's so awesome.

02:22And he was like, whatever I can do to help you out.

02:25Um, here's my number.

02:27Let me know.

02:28And I'm like, okay, sure.

02:31Don't give the number.

02:32Unless you wanted me to call because my mom says if someone offers it, take it, take it.

02:37So anyways, they got that song like four months later.

02:41And he was like, I'm going to call Priscilla and see if she wants to do the song with me.

02:44It's so awesome.

02:45And I listened to it.

02:46I was like, yes.

02:47Like, I love this song.

02:48I'm so glad we're not singing about champagne.

02:51Cause I'm not a champagne girl.

02:53Like at least it's whiskey, you know?

02:55So it's just, it's, it's really, I mean, it's changed my life.

02:58And I, I cannot say like, I can't, I can go on and on about Justin.

03:05He's the nicest guy I've ever met.

03:07And I think it's important to talk about the fact though, that you really know yourself

03:11and you know your talents and you, and I think that it's such a great lesson for people

03:15who are listening, whether it's like on the radio or obviously this will be on the socials

03:19about how like you felt confident enough to go up to him and be like, this is who I am.

03:24I've worked my ass off.

03:25Like, let's do something together.

03:26And I think it's important, especially to young women to tell them, like, don't be afraid

03:29to introduce yourself.

03:30Don't be afraid to talk about that.

03:32What made you, do you feel like you always had that confidence?

03:36Well, I'm one of five kids, so I had to stand out some way.

03:39You know, I've been the attention seeker since I was born.

03:43Where do you fall in one through five?

03:45I'm second to youngest.

03:46Oh yeah.

03:47So that's, yeah, you have to, but I think like, honestly, I think it comes from my parents.

03:51Like my parents are go getters.

03:53They were like, if you want to go to college, you'll go to college and you'll put yourself

03:57through college.

03:58If you want to go be whatever you want to be, go do it and we'll support.

04:01I feel the same.

04:02I always said about my parents and they gave me the, I'm from a super, super, super small

04:07town and you know, everybody was white and Catholic and I wanted to go to the big city

04:11and do entertainment.

04:12And they were like, we support you.

04:13And if you, as long as you make a good decision, we'll support you.

04:16Yeah.

04:17Yeah.

04:18And I, to be honest, there's so much talent in the world.

04:20And if you're not your biggest number one fan, then no one's going to get it.

04:25Yeah.

04:26And it's like, it doesn't matter.

04:28Like, it doesn't matter how good the songs are.

04:30It doesn't matter how good you look.

04:31Like, if you're not like, I'm here and I want to say something different.

04:36And I know that this can be bigger than who's going to want to be on your team.

04:40If you, if you're not your biggest fan, then chances are like, you probably need to wait

04:45a little bit.

04:46And, and I've, I've, since day one of moving to Nashville, I was, I mean, I was, it was

04:5017 years old.

04:51Yeah.

04:52And when I moved out there, I was like, fearlessly walking into rooms being like, I'm Priscilla,

04:57please listen to my stuff.

04:58And here we are with my first number one, nine, almost a decade later.

05:02Yeah.

05:03Yeah.

05:04And you like your work.

05:05It's just, it's so awesome.

05:06I'm so happy for you.

05:07Just love everything that you've done.

05:09And obviously just like you being yourself and just being such an inspiration to, to really

05:15to women of just being like, love yourself, love your body.

05:18I it's so important.

05:19And if we just, to have that out there, I just want to tell you how much it means to

05:23me seeing it.

05:24And I can't imagine how other people feel too.

05:26So, so happy to go.

05:27Well, thank you.

05:28That means a lot.

05:29It's true.

05:30It's so true.

05:31All right.

05:32So what's next?

05:33The next couple, obviously like summer's winding down.

05:34You've been on the road nonstop.

05:35Are you going on vacation?

05:36Are you taking a break?

05:37I need to.

05:38Um, I'm like, I'm just not going to sleep three years.

05:40And then after that, I'll take a nap.

05:43Wait, what'd you do for your birthday?

05:44You had the Leo cake.

05:45You had the leopard cake, which is amazing.

05:47I stopped doing it.

05:48Oh, honestly, I stopped me too.

05:51I think I'm like, I am my biggest fan.

05:53I'm like looking back.

05:54I'm like, Oh my gosh, this is so cool.

05:55I'm always rewatching my stories.

05:56Like, Oh my God, that was so funny.

05:58Um, we had a week.

06:01So we were out for three weeks.

06:02We came home for two days and I rented an Airbnb in Nashville and we did a party in the

06:08wild.

06:09So it was all animal print themed and we raged.

06:15Like I'm still like hung over slash drunk.

06:19I don't even know, but we partied so hard and it was the week of my number one.

06:23So it's just, it's been unreal.

06:25Yeah.

06:26All right.

06:27So back to what I asked you originally about what's coming up next.

06:30Gosh.

06:31Um, you know, I'm, I'm really ready for new music.

06:34I, uh, I just put out a song called fake names.

06:37I don't know if y'all have heard it, but it's about being reckless with your friends.

06:41Like AKA this whole past week.

06:43Um, but jelly roll, I don't know if you know this, but jelly roll is the one actually talking

06:49on the song.

06:50There's like a dude's voice and it's jelly.

06:51Yeah.

06:52Oh my God.

06:53You're like, Holy crap.

06:54That is jelly.

06:55So fun.

06:58I, did you ask him to do that?

07:00I did.

07:01You did.

07:05All I need you to say is, Hey, to Wanda, don't you got a brain surgery or something?

07:09You got to go to, I think your lady's like, I got you girl.
