I was just panting myself because it's so hot. How are you doing? It's your heart. It's so it's nice out here. The sun's right on us and just a beautiful weather for for country awards show. We're at the country countdown Awards. What are you counting down to in your life?

You know, me performing on the show tonight. I could be counting down to that. That's what I need to be worried about right now, but it's all good. I I'm so fortunate right now this time of my life. So just counting down to my performance I guess tonight. You should be here. So it's going to be good.

Is this your first time to perform here tonight?

Uh, yeah for sure. I I've actually I was on tour with Luke Bryan in the in 2014 and our last show of the tour was right here at the Forum. So this is a pretty historic place, you know being a sports fan and just it's crazy. Now I'm on an award show. But this is on TV, you know that that show with Luke, it didn't they people didn't have uh cameras on us and stuff all the time. So it's a big deal. You know television is huge and with me all this new album stuff coming out. It's uh it's an honor to play a song like this.

What song is currently playing on repeat on your Spotify like what can can you not get enough of?

I I think the new Florida Georgia Line song Holy is uh I've been I've had that on repeat for the past couple days. So yeah, I I'll go with that one.

If you could trade places with another country music star for a day. Who would it be?

I'll go with Luke Bryan. I mean, he he's got to have it pretty good. So sounds good to me.
