“A little bit of my kick a** day! I’ll post my 2 performances, but first I must sleep before my other performance tomorrow! Just know dreams really come true and God will make room for you gift. Thank you @cma @essence @theshaderoom and @abc(who’s next) 🙏🏽❤️” she wrote under a post on her Instagram page.
In an interview with PEOPLE, she opened up about her intriguing move to Country music.
“The people around me convinced me that it was time to live,” she said about moving back to Tennessee in 2021. “I just had been feeling so empty. I moved to Nashville, and it was the best experience of my life. I could live my life and it’s right up the street from my parents.”
“I’m a new artist in Country, so it’s sort of like starting over,” added the versatile singer who revealed that she worked with Country stars Morgan Wallen and Brittney Spencer on her upcoming Puddin debut.
