I have always been infatuated with country music.

I'm a big fan of country music.

I've spent a lifetime in love with country music.

I love being a part of the country-music community.

I came to town thinking that everybody had the same idea of what country music was that I did.

Country music belongs to America.

There's been a shift: Country music is popular music now. Every other genre wants to come over to our land.

I'm thrilled that country music fans like my stuff, but so do a lot of people outside of country music, people who just love music. My goal is more to reach music lovers than to appeal to a genre. I love country music, and I'm proud to represent it, but I don't obsess over it as a category.

I love country music.

I've always listened to and loved country music ever since I was a kid.
