00:00:57.060 so happy to have you honored to have you on the show i feel it's surreal seeing you in person

00:01:02.880 the the like hours i've spent watching uh you on tech talk so i was gonna say me and maryn we've

00:01:11.100 been mutuals for a while yeah for a minute so i know that you think i'm funny yeah which i do brag

00:01:16.620 about and has been on my resume funny hope that's cool with you i'm on there okay cool i'm just funny

00:01:21.980 and like philosophical and like even in my like worst like hours of like the last year i was like 0.86

00:01:28.180 i just like dive into your rants and they're just yeah i'm just like fuck yes someone said it and 0.81

00:01:35.000 it's always you thank you i appreciate that maryn and i uh am a huge fan of you i think you're 0.91

00:01:40.980 so unbelievably talented and past your talent i really admire you for how convicted you are in

00:01:47.400 your beliefs uh obviously because the specific niche of music that you make can be quite

00:01:53.240 exclusionary sometimes but you've always been very upfront about being inclusive as a artist which i

00:01:59.560 love and admire about you and i want to tell you before i forget thank you because i make so many

00:02:03.720 wiener jokes that the serious shit just flies right out of my brain i forget i get it so i have to tell 0.77

00:02:09.060 you early we can we can do both we can do both but that means a lot um i think it's just it's 0.97

00:02:15.800 becoming a little bit more uh it's not as niche to like have those opinions and yeah we can talk to

00:02:22.120 each other on a more open connected level now so thankfully i feel like that ages me a bit because

00:02:27.860 like my first record was literally only in 2016 but there was no tiktok there wasn't even like apple

00:02:33.940 music yet it was just spotify and itunes and then you could like go buy the cd at target or walmart but

00:02:40.100 now it's like everything is so different and yeah it's just there's more channels of being able to

00:02:46.100 like tell someone the full context of who you are totally not just through the channels of like the

00:02:51.340 song or yeah like a polished interview now it's just way more about authenticity and totally not

00:02:58.680 overthinking everything absolutely and i do want to talk to you about that because i well first let's

00:03:02.860 get into your lore because it's extensive but i do i'm familiar with it but for those that are living

00:03:08.320 under a rock and maybe haven't heard of you before or know or familiar with your journey

00:03:11.960 um can you talk about how you got into music like when it really like kind of took off for you

00:03:16.120 kind of yeah of course yeah i'm from texas originally and outside of dallas and arlington texas i've been

00:03:24.260 performing and playing in bars and honky tonks and kind of like cutting my teeth live music wise that

00:03:30.660 way for you know since i was 11 12 years old which shocks a lot of people yeah that i was playing in

00:03:36.720 bars at that age but um i learned how to sign a bar tab um how to play for three hours for drunk

00:03:43.280 people um yeah audience i mean there's a part of me that like would never do it again but then also

00:03:50.620 it pisses me off that like these tiktok artists that are like 17 will never have to go through that

00:03:57.200 because i was like that really built some like hair skin and gumption and like you just are gonna 0.80

00:04:03.020 fucking get through it and yeah and learning to just be background noise because you're not the 0.85

00:04:08.420 center of attention yeah it's you're usually doing covers like it's you're not the star yeah but um 0.99

00:04:13.800 you're also like as a songwriter witnessing a lot of mania um sexual detention uh affairs

00:04:23.620 drunk people in bathrooms like at a young age so as a you know i can only imagine as a songwriter

00:04:29.880 that started in country music that that was perfect uh fodder for that but yeah i've lived

00:04:36.340 in nashville though for almost 12 years okay moved there when i was 22 to like just write for other

00:04:43.120 people yeah and uh i didn't really want a record deal or to be an artist anymore i was like i had

00:04:48.920 grown up doing that and so after that experience you were kind of like yeah i was just burned out

00:04:54.040 like i had burnout at like a very young age and then uh nashville kind of like put the gas in my

00:04:59.600 tank again to like be creative and that's good and like collaborate because i think i was so like

00:05:05.040 texas is so big that the music scenes there are like dallas is so far away from houston which is so far

00:05:11.220 away from austin and san antonio and they all have their own niche music scenes so nashville is like

00:05:17.720 the melting pot of yeah everyone there is a transplant kind of like la where it's just everyone's from

00:05:23.280 somewhere else you're all there for a reason yeah and mostly creative music reasons and not

00:05:29.080 everyone's there for like country music like you know there's all types of genres going on there but

00:05:34.600 uh i would say the main you know export is like the mainstream country music world but i had like

00:05:40.560 some mild success as a songwriter there like my first song that was recorded by another artist was

00:05:46.220 tim mcgraw and like you know og like that was a massive um kick in the door for me just

00:05:52.820 credibility wise on music rel which is where all the like uh publishing houses are yeah and then

00:05:58.800 like kelly clarkson recorded a song of mine and that kind of opens up the like pop world for me

00:06:04.040 so yeah and then i wrote this song out here actually in la um i was going through a breakup and i wrote

00:06:10.780 this song called my church and i just like had this kind of nausea of like i will be sick if someone

00:06:17.820 records this that isn't me love and i don't know i just marked my territory on it and i found my

00:06:25.800 manager janet and we put this out on spotify with no label just did it ourselves and within like

00:06:31.620 two or three days it had like a million streams which was unheard of at the time and like all the

00:06:37.620 labels in nashville are now like who the hell is this chick like and um kind of like two labels 1.00

00:06:44.160 ended up getting into like a bidding war over me and i was able to like leverage that into like a

00:06:48.600 pretty great recording deal and then i don't know like that was the first song i ever put out and so

00:06:53.680 the rest was history as they say yeah that's what uh that's kind of what megan trainer said too like 0.98

00:06:59.180 she was like i was writing for other people for a long time and then i wrote one that i was like i

00:07:03.300 need to do this one like this one's for me yeah i think actually she and i were at the same

00:07:07.220 publishing house um it was like a sort of smaller one uh called big big yellow dog and she i guess

00:07:14.280 wrote all about that base yeah and then was like i am the only one that can record this yeah so yeah

00:07:20.240 love her yeah and you have a very similar story i love that so after the initial like launch like

00:07:26.220 how was it like going kind of from being behind the scenes to now being completely front-facing and

00:07:31.280 like the future of country music like at the time at the time yeah i i mean it was daunting i think

00:07:36.540 i had been well prepared for it though just having had that background of performance well that's

00:07:40.880 good and i was also 26 when my record came out so i was already like established in the way of like

00:07:47.940 my frontal lobe was developed that's t i say that all the time every time i talk about it i'm like

00:07:53.040 because i just turned 29 not too long ago and i every time i say that people are like damn because

00:07:58.440 everyone on tiktok is 11 so every time people who are my peers and make the same amount of money

00:08:03.020 they're like 17 and so yeah whenever i talk about it i'm like i was a an adult when i got this i was

00:08:08.600 in my mid-20s when i started doing this shit so fiji airways is on sale now fly from toronto via 0.66

00:08:44.180 a child age i think sometimes they just think i'm like 22 which yeah i don't ever want to go back

00:08:49.960 to that age no it was a nightmare i'm cool with getting older yeah i like i mean obviously there

00:08:54.140 are people that can are well equipped to handle it young like i mean not very many of them though

00:08:59.680 i was gonna say taylor swift maybe yeah it's the only one that's like started at 14 15 became

00:09:06.180 massively famous and never stopped being that big yeah just got bigger yeah and didn't like lose their

00:09:11.740 mind or at least not in a way that we've seen yeah yeah truly so and it's hard not to you've done it

00:09:17.020 long enough now i've barely been doing it for however long and i i'm not even kidding like two years

00:09:21.780 into doing this i was like i get why people go insane yeah i get it i have women especially like 0.99

00:09:26.840 i totally get it yeah there's like an annual um and i i prepare for it now it's just annual like

00:09:32.760 mini breakdown oh my god me just allow yourself the space to have one one huge one clear out the

00:09:38.020 cobwebs yep yep yep yep and then you're okay yeah i talk about it like expelling my venom like a snake

00:09:43.360 like i'll die if i don't do it no you gotta get it out someone's gotta really squeeze my goiter and 0.89

00:09:47.840 spit it out otherwise i'm gonna burn a city down you know what i'm saying i'm like i'll literally 0.79

00:09:52.560 burn down a hospital it's in everyone's best interest i do it yeah sorry or i'll like burn

00:09:57.160 myself down yeah and then like yeah no like no one can get anything from me so yeah i was like this

00:10:03.620 is i'm useless in that sense yeah it can't work yeah yeah so as long as you make space for like

00:10:08.560 the annual breakdown i think it's okay um and we should talk about it my son's aries okay i love that

00:10:14.640 i'm a leo rising which totally makes sense yeah uh libra moon um so i never really identified with

00:10:22.360 like aries until my 20s where i was like oh shit i actually am extremely opinionated and stubborn 0.70

00:10:30.000 and um like short fused i love aries people what are you i'm a virgo okay so i'm like i'm i'm real

00:10:37.700 opposite in a lot of ways aries people i always kind of summarize them as like if you're you know when

00:10:43.360 you're driving a car and you're kind of like what if i just like off the road killed everyone or

00:10:49.180 whatever happens happens aries people are that thought but if they did it i hate that you're

00:10:55.120 saying this they're like i'm sure it'll be fine and most times it works out and it's fine but that

00:11:00.420 kind of uncertainty stresses me out as a virgo like i need plans and a structure and yeah i told my

00:11:06.500 therapist that once where i was like i used to fantasize like in my teen years just about driving

00:11:11.180 off the highway and she's like um okay we need to get into this then see me being a virgo i'm always 0.99

00:11:17.320 right yeah you you just clocked me i feel like you clocked my soul slid out of my ass that's why i 0.96

00:11:23.780 say aries people give into that feeling and i think that's why i get along with aries really well because 0.95

00:11:28.600 i could never in a million years but like i like one of my best friends in college was in aries and so

00:11:34.080 i always describe her as like i never would have had fun or done like any of the cool shit i did 0.75

00:11:39.620 and if she wasn't in my life yeah and she would have died if i wasn't in hers so it works right

00:11:44.220 respect the toxic yeah we get we get a good like balance of fun and staying alive yeah i love that

00:11:50.820 yeah yeah we need that really well with them we need those people but okay so well going back to

00:11:56.740 your illustrious career yeah um once you really start like establishing yourself as an artist and like

00:12:02.040 like a musician um when do you start noticing where you you want to be more vocal about your beliefs

00:12:08.440 and how you feel like as far as ideologies go especially considering you started in country

00:12:12.440 like how did you feel about that kind of um it happened pretty quick just because um at least

00:12:20.140 in country music i don't know if they still do it this way but you know before streaming was sort of

00:12:25.620 the main way we would consumed music radio is still like extremely powerful yeah yeah particularly in

00:12:31.560 country so we would do these things called radio tours where the label would send an artist out for

00:12:37.880 six weeks to six months and just go to like 150 stations around the country like you know we're

00:12:46.020 flying frontier we're flying southwest at like 5 a.m we're staying in like you know comfort ends or

00:12:53.800 worse um red roof ends yeah red roof plenty of those um i do like a hampton end okay i love a hampton

00:13:00.460 yeah those beds are comfortable but you just go and plan these conference rooms for program directors or

00:13:06.560 like their staff and you buy them lunch and um it's very bizarre and very old school and then you'll do

00:13:13.960 like maybe two or three stations in a day and then you'll go out for dinner with them and it's always

00:13:20.020 a steakhouse don't know why they always request a steakhouse and you're paying for it like it's going

00:13:25.680 back on your deal is that just to get them to like play the song on the radio is it like trying to

00:13:30.620 wine and dine them both i mean yeah it's both it's it's very transactional yeah i will say like the

00:13:36.900 the nice people i met in radio particularly always women and um you know had their own axe to grind 1.00

00:13:45.260 within that world because it is you know again very male dominated and so for me that was always like a

00:13:51.880 weird part of the job but it was also like i got to pay my dues i don't want to complain this is what

00:13:56.700 everyone else has to do including the men artists like so you know just like get get through it and

00:14:04.120 i remember like i was dealing with massive strep throat throughout that entire year i ended up

00:14:09.040 having to get like a tonsillectomy because i was sick all the time from the travel yeah yeah i bet and

00:14:14.660 um so it was gnarly but like obviously i ended up getting radio play and obviously i do think like

00:14:21.320 my songs had something to do with it too like duh but also there's just a lot of ring kissing and

00:14:27.500 but i think i noticed really quickly that i needed to be more vocal and like state my boundaries beyond

00:14:33.980 private and do it publicly was i was at like a post-show meet and greet um i was opening for 0.82

00:14:42.120 keith urban and it was like the best tour like he's so lovely the catering was fucking bomb like i 0.93

00:14:48.980 we talk about this catering like eight years later i'm still thinking that's how good it was um well

00:14:54.080 because not every tour has it oh i bet yeah i know but it was like such a cool learning experience he's

00:14:59.860 like so great with everyone he works with but there was like a radio guy from the local station that came

00:15:05.040 to my meet and greet after my set and was just super drunk probably on my labels dime or mine actually

00:15:12.720 because it will go back to my account that i have to recoup but just got drunk before the show

00:15:18.380 probably missed my entire set and then like wants to get photos after and he was just like really

00:15:23.460 handsy with me and this is one of luckily not that many times it happened to me i know plenty of friends

00:15:30.880 of mine it's happened to way worse so mine was like i guess one of the lucky ones but he was just

00:15:37.320 super drunk and gross and like hanging all over me and giving a lot of like spouty opinions about what

00:15:42.560 my next like single should be and how don't pick a ballad because people don't want to hear like 0.98

00:15:46.940 sad women on the radio and i was like have you heard country music bitch like the whole thing 1.00

00:15:52.500 is well we all know keith urban's all sunflowers and rainbows and nothing sad but like the best 0.93

00:15:59.140 country songs to me are like the hard-hitting like real life isn't that the whole point of country

00:16:03.620 yeah it really hits you in the feels i know right i mean loretta lynn literally has a song called the 0.52

00:16:08.480 pill right it's hello that's real life shit and so whatever his skew of what i should be doing or 0.95

00:16:15.540 what women should be like looking or sounding like within the confines of the radio of country 1.00

00:16:20.280 it was just and also just yeah him being really inappropriate i was like this is i got out safe

00:16:26.900 on this one yeah but like i know plenty of women friends of mine that haven't and male friends too 1.00

00:16:32.020 male artist friends that have dealt with that shit so um yeah that's kind of when my light bulb turned on 0.93

00:16:38.700 of like we've got to stop like normalizing this behavior and um there has to be a way to be able 0.99

00:16:45.800 to be successful in this without having to deal with that yeah like stomach it yeah so in order to

00:16:52.060 avoid being blackballed yeah which now i mean obviously like felt a little naive to even have

00:16:57.860 that optimism at the time but right yeah i mean there's a lot of like boundaries um inconveniently

00:17:04.800 that i've set up you know in the last decade yeah i'm glad i'm glad you have especially i feel like 0.91

00:17:10.640 too that's another testament to women being so violently aware of bullshit like that so much 0.68

00:17:17.020 a lot of times earlier than men do when they go through the same like uh journey or career path 0.98

00:17:22.880 it's kind of like the harvey weinstein shit like a lot of people knew already but women told each other

00:17:28.800 yeah they said hey don't ever be alone with him don't ever if he ever invites you the way that women 1.00

00:17:33.180 have to guard rail each other because men are doing fucking shit to protect us so we're like okay 0.96

00:17:37.800 then we'll have to protect each other i can't talk about him publicly because i'll never work again so 0.99

00:17:42.140 i'm just gonna warn people behind closed doors that shit's nuts i know and it's prevalent in every 0.98

00:17:46.720 part of entertainment yeah i'm not surprised at all that it exists in music oh my god the diddy stuff 0.99

00:17:52.340 like i know shit i mean we don't even know like the tip of even the tip of the iceberg of that yeah 0.94

00:17:57.680 like the the way that it spreads like a fucking poison is insane yeah but that's why i'm glad 0.98

00:18:02.980 that's why i admire you so much because i feel like you have been very vocal about many things 0.89

00:18:08.020 and it is brave to do that is it's very scary trust me i fucking know right to be like especially 0.79

00:18:13.960 when when you say one thing you become like almost like the spokesperson for that entire genre

00:18:19.140 right so they're now you're speaking for all of them but you're like i'm only speaking for me i can't

00:18:23.740 speak for anybody else yeah that's why i admire you so much for being so upfront about what you

00:18:27.560 believe in what you think is right it's hard for people to just especially women thanks you know

00:18:31.840 what i mean like and you're still here yeah i'm still doing fantastic yeah i mean it's it's thank

00:18:37.700 you i mean i i think what you were saying about you can't be because i did feel like i've even said

00:18:43.680 this in an interview before i was just like i can't be the fucking like hall monitor yeah all the 0.96

00:18:49.320 time yeah for like people's bad behavior truly and like i you know i got off twitter um after a few

00:18:55.980 too many like clapbacks um and it's like i never regret what i say but it's also like i have to take

00:19:03.680 care of myself it's exhausting yeah and like just those fears of you know i have a four-year-old little

00:19:08.840 boy and being doxxed or like just anyone ever being like dangerous like it's happened uh just feeling

00:19:15.960 unsafe like yeah i mean i bring him on the road with me and i don't show him or his face on social

00:19:20.660 media um but like yeah just those things that i can do to protect him but at the same time like

00:19:25.840 if anything that i ever say comes back or like riots up these crazies yeah yeah because there are some

00:19:32.720 yeah um and i've gotten into tiffs with like very public people um uh yeah telling me yeah you and me

00:19:40.780 both yeah yeah it's like you're sending up almost like the bat signal on yourself to be you know

00:19:46.040 abused and so death threats like this and that like that stuff is very real like everything seems like

00:19:53.040 it's only existing within the confines of uh a wi-fi connection but like it's you know when it gets real

00:20:00.440 and things are being sent to your house and shit like that it's like yeah you do have to kind of 0.62

00:20:05.740 figure out ways to maintain your morality and like do that publicly and keep that bravery but also 0.73

00:20:12.340 yeah there are certain things where it's like i don't need to shoot this off on twitter i girl i've

00:20:17.200 only learned the hard way telling me me too same honestly that's why i relate so heavily to what

00:20:21.820 you're talking about especially with yeah but like you only you do it like truly when someone's being

00:20:26.300 like crazy out of pocket like i i downloaded twitter back to watch the pearl stuff unfold with you

00:20:33.980 yeah because i was like you're just so well you're well spoken and you also have like an acid tongue

00:20:40.620 and like it's just so and you do it within the like however many characters they allow now period

00:20:45.820 yeah i know they they really they really fucked up giving me more than 140 on twitter yeah i deleted my 0.98

00:20:50.640 twitter too though transparently um just because like you said there has to be a balance at some point 0.68

00:20:56.060 like obviously for me like this this greatness was thrust upon me in the sense of like the mantle they gave

00:21:01.920 me was i did not ask for that nor did i think that was going to be the case i'm happy to do it even

00:21:07.660 sometimes like when i get i get criticism all the time but especially from people that are like well 0.93

00:21:12.320 i just think there's better ways to do it and sometimes i tell i tell them i'm like then fucking 0.99

00:21:17.720 do it right tag in bitch i'm lonely out here what the fuck i am fighting by myself i am doddling an army 0.99

00:21:23.520 alone i'm john snow where are the allies i know i'm the bastards i'm like where are the knights of the veil 0.99

00:21:29.420 yeah exactly i'm just alone i'm i'm being suffocated under hundreds of bodies like and 0.87

00:21:34.560 that's uh it is a mantle you carry like i totally get what you're saying as far as like you become

00:21:40.320 a patrol and then it's like that's all i ever do and then on top of that that's all i'm ever consuming

00:21:45.700 like i had to i had to kind of like start discerning what i did and didn't want to talk about because

00:21:51.880 there are certain things that are just too horrible to platform and i refuse to yeah and there are men that

00:21:57.020 i've fucked up before in a silly way and then i found out they like genuinely are evil to their 0.99

00:22:01.180 core and i refuse to talk about them anymore because i'm not giving i'm not breathing life 0.94

00:22:05.700 into that name on my platform anymore for sure people like if you really want people to disappear

00:22:10.140 you have to de-platform them you have to ignore them like and pretend they're dead so that's what i do

00:22:14.640 i've done that well with a woman but um yeah oh me too i did that with that woman that you just 1.00

00:22:19.380 yeah i did that with her too when i got engaged they were like i wonder what pearl thinks i don't give a 0.94

00:22:24.920 fuck what she thinks yeah i don't care what she thinks about literally anything at all ever but 0.91

00:22:28.780 especially me i don't care no and they're just like begging for the like engagement and it's you 0.99

00:22:34.440 kind of realize how powerful you are though because you're like when i stop engaging even if it's not

00:22:39.800 with a specific person but even a platform yeah it like it kicks up and you realize you like trade

00:22:45.060 it up too because it's like okay you traded the like stress of twitter or x for like a new york

00:22:51.180 time's best-selling book amen that's your channel now like do that i know that that twitter calls

00:22:56.420 to me like the green goblin mask you know what i'm saying like whispers and i'm like i know i know

00:23:01.700 but mostly honestly the only reason i felt like that about twitter was because on twitter i really

00:23:07.760 could be mean there yeah see like when i'm fighting on tiktok that's me fighting with two

00:23:11.360 hands behind my back if if they really let me these people would never show their face in public ever

00:23:15.780 again yeah we're going into the gutter right yeah but twitter is such a hellscape that i can say

00:23:20.940 whatever i want on there and that's not a good thing yeah yeah so that's actually really bad we

00:23:24.880 need to be regulated a little bit just a tiny bit i need a little bit of a leash i'll admit it

00:23:29.400 sure of course i do it's so true like i when i redownloaded it um for your discourse to watch my

00:23:37.320 fight i hadn't been on in like three years and so after elon took over it i was like this is

00:23:42.700 insanity on here it's nasty and it's gross and i had like a burner account and i was like i can't be on

00:23:48.800 here like what the hell am i watching it's just like porn clips and like ai crazy like i know it's 0.79

00:23:56.200 just insane it's gross over there i know really it's going down and it's going down fast i'm glad 0.75

00:24:00.260 you i'm glad you deleted yeah i got out while the building was burning you know yeah you know i went

00:24:04.820 out on top i'd say i that's when you have to know when to fold them yeah just yeah get out totally 0.98

00:24:10.400 right after you bested a bitch well that's why i think you're you're fantastic in that sense too 1.00

00:24:14.600 because it's one of those i feel like and i'm sure you agree with the sentiment too where there's 0.98

00:24:19.020 are certain there's certain levels where i'm like yeah debating with you is not going to give me

00:24:22.920 anything because you want to go viral and you can't do it without me and then on top of that like

00:24:28.500 you just are committed to misunderstanding me because every time i like the the three times a 0.95

00:24:34.080 year i'm like trying to be serious in the shit i'm saying like i'm not i'm not telling them mean 0.93

00:24:38.860 jokes about what they look like uh the three times i do it they're always like well then you should 0.98

00:24:43.300 invite me on your show and debate me why the fuck would i do that yeah who's that benefiting 0.92

00:24:48.080 yeah girl what do i get out of that other than psoriasis like my scalp itches yeah near me i don't 0.93

00:24:53.160 want you near me i know i'm gonna catch something yeah i think you i think you being like yeah i don't

00:24:58.260 need to engage with this anymore just there's power in that there's autonomy in that which i love

00:25:02.880 there is and i think like they only kind of gain notoriety notoriety sounded so southern just now

00:25:09.840 notoriety um they only gain that through yeah exactly like you said your engagement and you

00:25:16.140 just realize like how powerful your pen is or your your statements are and that like is scary as hell 0.78

00:25:23.520 because it's like i didn't realize what i was saying meant this much but i guess it does and it like 0.96

00:25:29.560 really starts to pick up traction with like tabloids or like just stupid press outlets and you're like oh my

00:25:35.540 god like that was just it was literally a tweet and it was a passing moment but now it's like i still 0.90

00:25:41.960 look back at everything and i'm like i stand by everything i said me but it's so me yeah i there's

00:25:47.760 no regret like the intention was absolutely correct yeah no i meant what i said i just like i don't need

00:25:53.160 to say it anymore or ever like speak to you again yeah so yeah just enjoy that life but um no it's

00:26:00.300 it it does get exhausting but there's such a like liberation from it too because it's like

00:26:04.700 i've had to walk away from a lot of toxic things in my life like even recently it's just um bubbling

00:26:11.740 up into um a lot of like identity things too with my like genre of music and like the things i love

00:26:19.460 about country music like the the lyrical realness the songwriting integrity my community in nashville too

00:26:26.940 which is still very much there like i write a lot out here in la but my my close friends the people

00:26:33.240 that i built something in a sound with are nashville based so and it's very like this is the thing too

00:26:39.460 not that i want any more people like coming to nashville because it's like getting so crazy but

00:26:44.360 it's such a melting pot that like everyone's just it is progressive and yeah i feel like it's it gets

00:26:52.660 this bad rap because it's kind of steeped in a lot of these conservative ideals and like

00:26:57.960 misogyny racism like that's all obviously very much still there and not just nashville like you

00:27:05.120 know everywhere but i i think uh there's still something about that place that like i have not

00:27:10.580 pulled the plug on and it like keeps me there because it's like i was talking to um it was like

00:27:17.700 at the glad awards last summer um i was getting an award and so was jonathan van ness and love jvm i

00:27:24.740 know they've been on the show too we love them i know they live in austin texas now and i was like

00:27:29.880 why like i love austin yeah i i mean i think that too when i see their posts i know and i'm i'm from

00:27:36.960 texas austin's like one of my favorite cities in the world but just knowing jonathan's lived in like

00:27:42.960 la new york i was like you chose to live in austin why and they were like well we we shot a season of

00:27:48.480 queer eye there i fell in love with the the city and they were like i just feel like i i i can affect 0.59

00:27:55.680 more change living in the state where these laws and are actively abusive than living in a a city where

00:28:05.600 it's extremely progressive everyone kind of like votes and thinks the same as you for the most part

00:28:10.540 which is like i totally get that too it's like you want to flock to a city of where you feel safety

00:28:15.940 yeah that's absolutely fair but i think that kind of what jvn said about that i was like i think that's

00:28:23.460 what keeps me in nashville too yeah totally is like i feel like there's a there's a community there that's

00:28:29.480 like building and building yeah and we need to have like allies there to keep it building absolutely if

00:28:35.980 we all like become expats and live in new york and london or la yeah you lose you lose really

00:28:43.340 beautiful places that were meant for something more than that yeah they've over time evolved into

00:28:48.580 something that feels very exclusionary and very bigoted yeah um which is not anyone's not our fault

00:28:54.960 who are existing currently right now right who actively want to change that don't want that to be

00:28:58.700 the case yeah but i think that's a powerful thing too like um wanting to wanting to show people

00:29:03.600 all the wonderful beautiful parts of nashville as opposed to what it's become known for sure which

00:29:09.120 is again i think that's a powerful thing too i think it's important like and i and i've talked

00:29:13.080 about that before when people ask me like oh like do you think there's any hope for change like do you

00:29:18.260 think that like men are gonna change and blah blah blah i'm like well none of the men i stitch are 0.82

00:29:22.160 gonna fucking change i can promise you that they're gonna die that way but that's besides the point 0.97

00:29:25.320 um i was like i don't think change will come from people who inherently hate minorities or 0.99

00:29:30.700 marginalized people just all of a sudden turning on a light i think what's gonna change is is we

00:29:35.980 build something new that's what changes and we leave them to die out like their bloodlines should 1.00

00:29:41.120 stop and we should leave them to die yeah and then we should focus on each other and we should focus on

00:29:46.260 building community within each other and we should grab all the people on the fringe people who are

00:29:49.960 at risk of tipping to that side those are people you can get you can't get people who've made up their

00:29:55.000 mind like i know so i feel like that's how you feel about nashville it's like well i'm gonna let

00:29:59.200 those people die out but i'm gonna carve out something new yeah that will focus on what i

00:30:04.160 what i love about nashville and what you love about country music because country music is beautiful

00:30:08.320 i don't know a lot about it but it is beautiful well it's it is and like there's so there's such

00:30:13.500 a huge like fan base that's younger now for it which like it's really happened in the last couple

00:30:17.780 of years but living in nashville i think like um like gen z gen alpha like you know i have a four-year-old

00:30:24.800 so it's like i think also the other thing about community is like the kids that are being raised

00:30:30.000 in that that bubble which is in the south or whatever like it's like people are getting i think

00:30:36.400 smarter and more um aware aware and like kinder yeah yes we have to like keep a grip on you know

00:30:45.420 just everything being social media based and like everything being instantaneous but i do think

00:30:50.200 uh what like the the good parts of that have been that we can talk to each other we can see someone's

00:30:56.420 point of view that lives you know thousands of miles away totally there's there's like a gift in that

00:31:01.600 there's obviously downsides too but i think that's it's made uh i mean my son's not on any sort of

00:31:08.360 platform but like he's he's so kind and empathetic and like that obviously comes from like my my ex and

00:31:14.640 myself but in like his community but that gives me hope because it's like totally okay absolutely

00:31:20.040 you're a little kid you know you're privileged like yeah like because of me yeah and like uh but

00:31:25.940 you are growing up in this this town person yeah and it just he's traveling a lot he tours with me and

00:31:32.240 there's just something about that that makes me feel like okay maybe it's gonna be okay let's talk

00:31:36.800 about hate you get a lot of hate i have i know you did when you were leading crusades i'm a fan i

00:31:43.600 remember yeah um a lot as far as an artist a lot of hate yeah i'm sure because it's like

00:31:49.340 the squeaky wheel yeah you know but i think also it it brought a lot of love in too because it's

00:31:56.380 just people that had no idea that maybe you would never listen to country music were like

00:32:00.140 wait a second i'm not even kidding i do remember when you were getting in public beefs on twitter

00:32:04.880 and shit like standing up for people i remember people saying like which i thought was funny and 0.79

00:32:10.040 which is what made me like you which was they would say i did not know that she was with the 0.99

00:32:14.640 shits like that i did not know that they were doing it like that over there in country music 0.86

00:32:18.520 yeah which i think is hilarious i think that's so wonderful thanks you're like opening people's 0.80

00:32:22.680 perspectives yeah there's a good good few of us doing that in nashville but like yeah it certainly

00:32:28.500 it definitely opened up a lot of channels of like crazies and you know the tucker carlson

00:32:34.560 thing yeah and like some other bitches i won't name but i yeah i was just like that's interesting 1.00

00:32:41.300 but also it's just it kind of levels out the playing field and you're like okay i've never 0.63

00:32:47.960 been called this and now i have and i survived i think i'm gonna be okay i think it's gonna be okay

00:32:54.340 yeah well i will let's transition quickly into your new music i would love for you to tell us about

00:32:59.380 the new music how it's going yeah and what people can expect and what they can be excited to hear from you

00:33:04.320 miss maren morris yes um so i put an ep out like two months ago or so called intermission

00:33:09.820 it's just like five songs i'm working on a full album but uh i have this song that i wrote actually

00:33:17.040 last year with my friends uh laura belts and jack antonoff and i jack antonoff obviously everyone

00:33:23.380 ever heard of him he's a small indie artist yeah yeah hope he makes it big one day he works with a

00:33:29.720 couple women you wouldn't know him uh yeah nobody makes it big yeah i'm praying for him me too

00:33:34.940 hard times yeah he's hanging on it's so hard being him but yeah he's the best and i i wanted to put

00:33:42.480 that out like a long time ago but i was like something about right now just feel it's called

00:33:47.020 people still show up and that is that's never been more true than this particular year for me because

00:33:52.680 i went through like a lot of shit on the personal end and professionally just a lot of changes and i

00:33:59.420 just realized like my world got smaller in terms of like i didn't need as many people in it to feel 0.63

00:34:05.580 whole yeah like kind of downsized but i was just like wow it's it's all quality people it's all quality

00:34:14.340 experiences conversations even if i don't remember all of them like we we showed up for each other they

00:34:21.080 showed up for me it's also like for my my fans like coming to shows like it's you know on a year

00:34:27.360 i didn't put an album out still coming to shows this summer i was like y'all have been supportive

00:34:32.180 as fuck so i was like this song is for you but yeah um and then i'm just finishing this record 0.90

00:34:37.560 and very exciting yeah what are you looking forward to as far as your career down the line like are there 0.98

00:34:44.080 any collaborations that you would like love to see or you maybe can tease yeah if you feel so inclined

00:34:50.620 it's up to you i mean like obviously i would love to make another record with um my band the high

00:34:56.500 women uh which is like me brandy carlisle uh natalie hemby and amanda shires uh if we ever like are in

00:35:03.500 the same city again we will make that happen but um i think for me i just want to like be able to tour

00:35:08.960 and um you know i've i've kind of changed labels in the last year and it just all feels reset for me

00:35:16.700 right now which is that's cool you're resetting the table though exactly i love that though but

00:35:21.240 it's cool it's like i nothing scares me anymore yeah i've kind of been through it all yeah and i i

00:35:28.240 like this sort of like fresh reset phase of like i'm working with a lot of random people that i love

00:35:34.360 and i'm fans of and it just makes me so happy i i wrote a song with moona that came out on my

00:35:40.900 here yeah we're a big lesbian filled house so we love moona here moona knows we love them yes um 1.00

00:35:48.520 always and forever incredible songwriters like obviously and then naomi is just a badass producer 1.00

00:35:55.740 yeah so um they're so crazy talented it's crazy i know and and also just like hilarious i feel like

00:36:02.400 annoying they're too talented knock it off moona talented yeah it's like we we will write the song

00:36:08.960 but then it's like almost like the song's not the priority that day it's like just about the hang 0.95

00:36:13.900 yeah yeah that doesn't surprise me you have to like remind each other like oh shit like we should

00:36:18.660 probably write something we just like yammer on right but yeah they're too funny i love that how 0.98

00:36:24.160 exciting oh my gosh all my fans who are gay which is all of them um they're all gonna freak out when

00:36:29.520 they hear that oh my gosh how exciting okay oh well i do want to ask you this like as far as

00:36:34.740 when it comes to like melding the worlds of like your personal beliefs and ideologies and your music

00:36:42.100 and then having very real fear like if like oh what if this you know alienates an audience what if this

00:36:48.820 makes people not like me or not want to buy my stuff or stream my art or whatever uh for people who

00:36:54.040 maybe are struggling with that kind of like mentality what would you say is your best piece of advice for

00:36:58.420 them especially if they're women and if they identify as anything marginalized they're already kind of

00:37:02.400 working against an uphill battle so i think that's another reason why a lot of people are like oh i

00:37:06.720 don't want to talk about politics i don't want to talk about like what i believe in because i don't

00:37:10.980 want you know sometimes labels or brands or agencies they make you kind of not show certain parts of

00:37:16.860 yourself so that you don't alienate anyone or a consumer so what would you say is your best piece of

00:37:21.480 advice for those ones i mean if you are anyone but like a white cis straight male like your existence

00:37:31.240 is inherently political and politicized so tell them there is no escape from that yeah i think

00:37:38.980 you know i'm like a privileged white woman but in the the strictures of country music there are like

00:37:47.100 obviously uphill battles being a woman like absolutely still are like yeah any radio play like 1.00

00:37:53.500 it was it's still extremely slanted like it's not in the favor of us so i just think at your own

00:37:59.760 peril or risk like you are gonna go against things that make your skin thicker and you will get an

00:38:06.020 armor over time but you don't know until you go and like i think for me i never set out to be like

00:38:12.580 this activist artist it was just and i still write songs that are just like relationship songs like

00:38:17.480 songs about like a one night stand like whatever but like of course i've i've gone there on songs

00:38:23.460 too where it's like i want this to this is meaningful to me and this goes beyond like

00:38:28.200 just the surface level worldly relationships like this is something that like i wrote a song years

00:38:34.540 ago called better than we found it um after george floyd's murder and it was really just a song i

00:38:42.180 wanted to dedicate to my son who was like like eight months old at the time and it was just a really

00:38:47.700 important song for me to put out and of course i could have sat on it it could have sat in my inbox

00:38:53.360 for years but like it really meant a lot to people and it meant a lot to me and like i ended up getting

00:39:00.020 like a grammy nomination and you just don't know until you like go for it and totally but i also i'll

00:39:06.040 never like judge people for being afraid because it's fucking scary it is to put yourself out there i agree 0.86

00:39:12.900 especially if you're like you were saying you were playing in bars for years and like you know

00:39:17.960 wanting to be an artist or or just be able to put your art out there a lot of times all my friends

00:39:22.040 who are musicians like they never planned on ever like being famous like they just wanted to make art 0.52

00:39:27.320 and it worked it worked out but then i i feel like too at the same time obviously i'm just a dickhead 0.63

00:39:31.560 online and my my thing is antagonizing me i go in a nice swing on people who are not looking at me all

00:39:37.540 the time um but i always feel like if this is like like everything you work towards like you work so

00:39:43.560 hard to build your career and something like putting out a song like that could very well unravel all of

00:39:48.160 it but i always think like what is even the point of having it if i'm not going to use it to do

00:39:52.860 something like to do something good like to put something in the world or leave something behind

00:39:56.820 that is good inherently or is meant for good intention people so it's like i don't if that's what it

00:40:02.320 costs like if it costs me sacrificing pieces of myself that i believe in or i feel very strongly

00:40:08.160 about i don't want it like i don't want the fame i don't want the money i don't want any of it

00:40:12.320 if it means i have to like hide certain pieces so i that's why i said i really admire you for doing that

00:40:18.460 like and you being a white woman is it's it's very important that women who look like you do the same 0.79

00:40:23.580 thing it's like it's just like when i stand up or you stand up for trans women it's important that cis

00:40:29.160 women are fighting alongside them it's important that we check each other it's important that we 1.00

00:40:34.320 clock each other and we tell each other like it's important that we believe in these things and we

00:40:38.120 talk about them openly too because it matters yeah because no one's free until we're all free

00:40:43.540 i know what i mean so i i admire you for that i think it's i think it's fantastic and the fact

00:40:48.200 that you continue to do it i truly believe just like just like megan trainer i truly believe good

00:40:54.120 people are rare and that's why you've lasted this long like that's what you're doing so well

00:40:58.420 thank you i'll give you more flowers i'll give them all to you maryn no that means so much i mean

00:41:02.860 like you've just found like a really brilliant way of well obviously speaking to your audience but

00:41:09.120 also growing an audience because of your honesty but also the way that you articulate even if it's

00:41:14.120 like you're eviscerating someone you're doing it from a place of like the building blocks of

00:41:20.700 the the educational purpose of it thank you so that's really fucking hard to do and i speak as 0.78

00:41:27.100 someone that doesn't do it well like i am extremely emotional and like i should have taken like

00:41:34.060 debate team in high school or something so i could properly form a sentence in person with people

00:41:38.440 like just if i'm angry i feel you i just cry yeah i feel you so twitter that's why twitter was always

00:41:44.120 like it's good for the way i know it's like i can do this and like think about what my words are but

00:41:48.960 like no it's like a really uh once in a generational type of thing that you've created and it's like as

00:41:56.720 someone that's like always consumed media like i i like grew up on britney and christina and like

00:42:01.740 i i was like this kind of pop cultural thing of creators like you there's a lot of people making

00:42:09.920 incredible content but also like figuring out how to like do it in a really succinct impactful way

00:42:15.760 that's not distracted it's like extremely laser focused it's just very inspiring that's very

00:42:21.400 sweet thank you so much yeah i sometimes i describe it as like like when you have to give your dog pills

00:42:26.140 put it in cheese and give it to them oh my god see like you just to my audience i'm like come here i'm

00:42:31.480 gonna give you this pill but don't worry it's gonna taste good and then you'll be healthy and everyone

00:42:34.660 will it'll it'll be fine but i always tell people too i'm like i know if i'm your introduction to

00:42:40.040 intersectional feminism i think that's fantastic i think it's wonderful and i always say please don't 1.00

00:42:44.320 stop with me yeah there are far more people that are far more educated than i and far more like

00:42:49.920 equipped to explain things to you in a much more historical and factual way my way is telling people 1.00

00:42:55.780 to suck my wiener sure that works for you period works for me too you're the gateway drug there you 0.99

00:43:00.880 go that's why i said you just start with don't stop with me you can start with me just don't stop 1.00

00:43:04.900 with me but i i really do appreciate that and i appreciate um your fucking artistry i think you're 0.98

00:43:10.720 just i think you're so fantastic and i think honestly a lot of times women who write like 0.85

00:43:16.080 write music for a long time period you guys are some of the most genius women alive first of all

00:43:22.320 that's always like the way your brain works i envy that i have no musical capabilities whatsoever i got 0.75

00:43:28.060 nothing i got nothing god said give that bitch funny and that's it yeah so that's what he gave me 1.00

00:43:33.460 and i'm like well yeah i can make you laugh that's for sure i can't i can't i can't romance you with 0.90

00:43:38.540 a song but yeah but it's still like a creative thing too because it's like some days i've got

00:43:41.920 nothing like some days i my brain deletes and like i forget how to write a song like i i just it's

00:43:47.980 everything is overthought and awful and like you just have to accept that those are the days where 0.99

00:43:52.140 you're like oh this was just like a chicken shit day just sucks i suck especially when you're 0.99

00:43:57.640 writing with moona they're too distracting yeah talented well i like thank god katie's here to write 0.99

00:44:02.240 some words because my brain's mush i'm just gonna be the singer today yeah for real okay so

00:44:08.080 to wrap us i will say just for a close some closing thoughts for anyone who's listening

00:44:14.280 any sort of aspiring just i would say just musician in general not having to do with beliefs or

00:44:19.020 ideology or anything like that do you have any i know being an artist i feel like especially like

00:44:23.800 you said with tiktok a lot of people are kind of taking rainbow road a little bit cutting out the

00:44:28.900 the part where they get to kind of cut their teeth like you were saying earlier so for any up-and-coming

00:44:34.140 artists or musicians or writers or anything like that do you have any advice for them and

00:44:37.980 entering this new kind of world of music it's kind of shifted like you said yeah drastically in the

00:44:42.380 last 10 years so and i have like so much you know sympathy for that too because i'm lucky i got in

00:44:48.260 before all of that i know was the only platform but i would just say like i know this is extremely

00:44:54.360 you know banal advice at this point but you just have got to be patient because if you believe in

00:45:02.880 your thing and almost you have to be delusional like you have to i tell people that all the time

00:45:08.840 i say that too i mean that's the word for it but like you can say like ambitious or whatever but

00:45:14.260 you're delusional yeah you have to have like a sparkle of that like you always know when someone

00:45:20.020 has too much and you're like okay my god you want this too bad people can smell it yeah um for real

00:45:25.900 no just be patient because like you know if you're making music in your bedroom in like the

00:45:31.640 midwest or if you're moving to la or nashville or wherever you just have to like swallow that pride

00:45:37.560 of like there are a lot of fucking talented people yeah in front of you in the line yeah and like if 0.87

00:45:44.260 you are good and you keep practicing and showing up and not being fucking late not flaking like whether 0.96

00:45:50.980 you write alone or with other people or whatever you want to do i'm just really kind of talking about

00:45:54.880 songwriters but our artists it's like you've got to grow your thing and find ways of course creatively

00:46:02.960 to to set it apart but like just it's okay if it doesn't happen this year like overnight yeah because

00:46:11.900 like for me i've gone through ebbs and flows in my career like it's been 10 years more so if you count

00:46:17.960 like my teenage years of touring but like i've had moments where i've had like massive hits that year

00:46:23.020 and then i've had like years where there hasn't been one yeah and but i can tour and like i can

00:46:28.060 build a fan base over time and like have something identity wise to say and like a connection with them

00:46:35.200 that goes beyond a big fucking song on tiktok or the chart like you have to build over time and that is 0.87

00:46:43.140 when you start to see artists have like decades long careers no for real and honestly when chapel was on 0.99

00:46:49.280 she's like some people i hate the industry plant shit and she's like because i've been doing this 0.92

00:46:53.740 for 10 years i got signed when i was like 14 yeah and i was like i know i know that about you but 0.96

00:46:58.900 she's but because people see her on tiktok they're like oh my god just like overnight everyone's talking

00:47:03.440 about her well everyone's overnight until like if you haven't heard of them so it's like there's always

00:47:09.200 a backstory i said that about my book when men were discrediting me getting a bestseller they were 0.95

00:47:14.820 saying like oh everyone's a bestseller i go you know why you think that because you don't fucking read 0.96

00:47:18.260 yeah the only books you hear about are bestsellers aren't they yeah you're hearing about my book 0.99

00:48:39.140 out yeah if it's so easy apparently it's so easy according to men who uh never read can barely read 0.99

00:48:44.020 um and got scared to get called out in class to read apparently it's super easy so all and i went on

00:48:49.180 a book tour that whole summer and every time i talked about it my sister was like which is super

00:48:53.500 easy so no one should clap it's like super fucking easy don't worry about it it's not impressive so true 0.69

00:48:58.360 really easy you just go out there and do it that's why everyone does it that's why they're like

00:49:02.340 oh it's so easy what she does yeah and you're like okay yeah then you go do it i know i also get

00:49:07.400 what you mean too about like there's a lot of talented people in the world i think that all the

00:49:11.300 time too that's why i think people like you have such long careers and like establish such like

00:49:16.340 strong roots because you're a good person and you're really fucking good at what you do like

00:49:20.880 it's just it's impossible to not see you that's what i always think like that's operating from i think 0.80

00:49:26.000 a scarcity mindset when people are like oh like what about this what about that uh i always think

00:49:30.580 i'm gonna shine regardless so all the talented people let's all go together yeah like let's let's

00:49:36.460 link arms and listen i go through that too everyone does it's human like the scarcity thing or just like

00:49:43.080 feeling an envy like because it's happening for your friend and not you like that's normal and that's

00:49:48.640 you just have to like hunker down again for like the ebb and the flow like if you are constantly

00:49:55.120 like anvil on the gas pedal you're gonna burn out really quick yeah you're not gonna keep people

00:50:01.320 around you're gonna like probably crumble yourself like you know mentally yeah and there's just no

00:50:07.220 longevity in the short game so for me this is why i've said like i'm glad american idol and the voice

00:50:13.560 and like all these competitions like rejected me like when i auditioned in my teen years you listing

00:50:19.480 all of them there's like 10 there's probably more i haven't mentioned but i was like thank god

00:50:24.480 yeah there's quite a few i think like you i would have burned through it like i would have gotten so

00:50:29.580 over it and then like i wouldn't i wouldn't have been ready talent wise or mentally yeah so it's kind

00:50:35.740 of like if you have this massive fucking tiktok moment yeah it's like amazing and people are like 0.54

00:50:40.800 they've got eyes on you then it's like what's next yeah dance like yeah you have to you have to dance 0.56

00:50:46.860 yeah wearing matching outfits and now you have to create a dance yeah literally my one of my first

00:50:52.280 when i first blew up a brand reached out to me i don't even remember what it was and they were like

00:50:56.300 oh if you want to work with drew and we're like okay cool like my agent's kind of talking to them

00:50:59.900 and they were like yeah um we're doing this tiktok dance and like this is what it is and they sent it

00:51:04.940 to me and my agent didn't really know me that well at the time because we'd only been working together

00:51:08.880 for a couple months and she was like how do you feel about this i was like oh no yeah i don't do that

00:51:14.320 so yeah oh no no no no no tell them thank you peace and blessings on your household no thank

00:51:18.900 you yeah if i'm doing it and no shade but if i'm doing it it's as a joke that's what i mean yeah

00:51:24.360 that's what i'm saying for money i'm drunk no and i'm with my friends yeah it's for funsies yeah

00:51:30.260 funsies that's different that being said um for the right amount of money would i do it
