00:00 Back in the day collaborating with T Swift on on breathe. Yeah

00:04 What comes to mind when you think back about that time in that that collaboration?

00:08 I didn't live in Nashville yet

00:10 I came out here to write and she wanted to write with me and so we just were like in like

00:14 Music Row area and we wrote this song. She brought this idea in she was so she's just how she is

00:20 She's like warm and friendly and she brought a gift and her mom

00:23 brought her drove her over and it was just so it was so cool to be there at the beginning of it and

00:29 literally when we were like being interviewed that day because someone came to interview us and I was like watching her and I was like

00:34 She she's just this mature woman who is so intelligent and knows exactly what she wants

00:40 All right, looking back bubbly has it been 17 years? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean first of all, can you believe it's been that long?

00:47 No, I'm sick of singing it ever and and what do you remember most about the moment that song hit?

00:52 So I think I wrote it probably like

00:55 20 years ago, maybe 19 years ago

00:58 when it first hit I

01:00 really had no idea that that was gonna be the song because of my

01:03 Space because my friend put it up there it took off and I was like really like people love like up-tempo

01:08 Big like big chorus songs and so I was shocked but I was grateful that it like it sounded different

01:14 And I think that it was just I used to get sick of it because I had to sing it so much

01:20 I was so nervous

01:21 But now I look forward to it

01:22 The audience sings with me and it's a part of the show that I'm always I'm like wait should I do it like twice?
