i’ve absolutely fallen in love with making EP’s in between albums. there’s such a freedom and unbounded nature to the process, from the writing to the production, that i have found to be a creative exercise and also palate cleanser for my own artistry. mount pleasant is a collection of six songs that i’ve written throughout the summer, marking a chapter of heavy self examination, longing, and stepping further into who i am as a 32 year old woman. after patterns and my first arena tour, i had the biggest dopamine dump of my adult life and months “off” to really sit in the feelings that were coming up in the stillness and quiet. while i love to be sparkly and confident, i was feeling heavy waves of insecurity that i hadn’t really taken pen to paper about before. in feeling so seen by fans and music lovers in my more recent music that has felt more emotionally peeled back and sometimes uncomfortably honest, i felt encouraged to let it all out in the safest way i know how. from the body clock crash outs, to the “who the fuck am i outside of who people tell me i am?”, to the admission and ick of comparison and jealousy, to making peace with the past, to the urgency of checking on your friends and yourself into the future. mount pleasant is a place, a feeling, an uphill journey, and an idea of what’s to come. welcome to the park ❤️

here’s my healing journey. here’s my heart. here’s my truth. i’ve never been this open, i’ve never been this bold, and i’ve never been this proud of my art. so with love and respect, i’m rolling up the welcome mat. six song story and short film out now. happy valentine’s day. ❤️🩹

throughout the last decade and four albums, there has been a consistent ode to my hometown. whether it be lyrically like in ‘half of my hometown’ or celebrating milestone moments in venues like my high school, the tennessee theater, or the civic center, it’s always been incredibly important to me to go back to the place that let me go to chase my dream. playing thompson-boling has been on my bucket list since i was a little kid watching my favorite musicians come through town and is the perfect place to celebrate such a bookmark year and kick off a new level of touring. see you november 2, knoxville 🧡 fan club presale starts tomorrow at 10am et. tickets on sale friday at 10am et.

in a world that says ‘saddle up and be a man’, i hope this song finds you in your humanness. to the cowboys, cowgirls, and anyone who listens…let ‘em out. cowboys cry too is available now 🤠🤍 thank you Noah Kahan for adding your uninhibited perspective and songwriting brilliance into this song. (LIKE CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE SECOND VERSE YALL?!?) i couldn’t be more proud to put this music and message out alongside such a lovely artist and friend.

ten years ago, i was twenty, naive, starry eyed, and absolutely relentless on putting my music out into the world. i’m proud to say, nothing has changed…except a DECADE of this wildly beautiful journey we’ve gotten to share full of tours and sing alongs, wins and losses, and growing up together. soooo, before we move into new music (yes, it’s coming i swear) i wanted to celebrate the beginning with you. the song that started it all, love me like you mean it (reimagined and ten years later) comes out tomorrow night at midnight. oh, and i’ll be performing it on the CMT awards sunday. see you there. love you, mean it. ❤️

to me, an EP is the safekeeping of big thoughts and important chapters. mount pleasant is a pulse check on myself at 32, and it’s yours tonight. no matter who you may find yourself to be in the park, i hope you find yourself somewhere in mine. everyone’s welcome. ❤️

anyone that knows me knows that wherever i am – bus, hotel, or home – i’m going to have enough candles lit to be a fire hazard, and i’ve been a ranger station diehard for years. to me, scent is such a powerful sense that can make you feel nostalgic or peaceful, highlight your favorite season or holiday, or help invigorate new ideas or beginnings. burn the baggage is my favorite kind of fragrance, a bit of a grounded warm amber and a bit of a comfortable light iris. we wanted to tell the story of the journey of the duality of hurting and healing, and as you burn the candle i hope it keeps you company on whatever journey you’re on 🤍
