00:00Songwriter of the Year nomination tonight.

00:02How does it feel to be here?

00:04Crazy cool.

00:05I didn't even know there was a songwriter award,

00:07so it was very cool to find that out.

00:09And, you know, songwriters, we like to stay in the back, you know, hide in our room.

00:14So to be honored and to put a spotlight on us feels really good.

00:19You worked on the Twister song, Ain't No Love, in Oklahoma.

00:22Did you expect that to take on the life that it did just on social media and on TikTok?

00:27No.

00:27It's funny because I have kids that they're saying, Mom, it's viral, you know.

00:32It really has taken on a life of its own, and it's gone way beyond my wildest dreams.

00:37When we wrote it that day, we had fun writing it, and we felt like this is powerful.

00:41But you just never know.

00:43You've worked with so many big-name artists, but who's somebody on your list to collaborate with next?

00:47Maybe a current Grammy nominee?

00:50Ooh, yeah.

00:51Lainey Wilson is a good friend of mine.

00:52We've collaborated a lot.

00:53Meg Moroney is an upcoming female artist that I write with a lot.

00:58It's great.

00:59Riley Green, there's so many.

01:01The country scene right now is chock full of great, great artists.

01:06As a country songwriter, what's your take on Cowboy Carter and just all the love that it's gotten?

01:10I think it's cool.

01:12There's so many different influences coming into country music now, and yeah, it's cool.

01:17It's fun to see.

01:19That's amazing.

01:19And who are you most excited to see perform tonight?

01:21So many big performances.

01:23I know.

01:23I'm really excited about seeing Lainey perform.

01:27I believe she's performing.

01:28And a friend of mine, Sheryl Crow, just to see her.

01:31This is like her.

01:32She's the Grammy queen, so it'll be fun to see her.

01:35I love that.

01:36I mean, this is music's biggest night, and since we're the Hollywood Reporter, I want

01:39to ask you about how music biopics are having a really big moment with A Complete Unknown.

01:44We've got the Bruce Springsteen movie coming up.

01:46Who's an artist you'd love to see a music biopic about next?

01:49Stevie Nicks.

01:51Wouldn't that be cool?

01:52I'm excited about Janis Joplin.

01:54I think that'll be fun.

01:55Just all the females.

01:56It's cool.

01:57Yeah, Stevie Nicks.

01:58Bye.

01:59Bye.
