00:00So, attending the CMA Awards this year as a first-time nominee, how are you feeling

00:06about that?

00:07Pretty awesome.

00:08It's an honor, but also very nervous.

00:11Nervous?

00:12Because, yeah.

00:13Performing.

00:14Yeah, I'm performing.

00:15If I was just coming to hang out, different story, but yeah.

00:18Have you had rehearsals yet?

00:19Yeah.

00:20Okay.

00:21And when you see the show, you'll understand why I'm so nervous.

00:24You'll see.

00:25Oh, okay.

00:26What a little tease Bailey Zimmerman just gave us.

00:28Yeah, you'll see.

00:29Well, this is exciting.

00:30I honestly think that performing at one of these award shows would be terrifying because

00:34I don't want to look at the people I know and see them in the front row.

00:38You know what I mean?

00:39Yeah.

00:40It's nothing to prepare you for.

00:42Who's it going to freak you out if you make eye contact with?

00:47That's what I always think about.

00:48I don't think anybody.

00:49No?

00:50No.

00:51Okay.

00:52I think I'll be okay there.

00:53Nobody would make you giggle or something?

00:54Yeah, actually, maybe.

00:55I'm going to try to keep it together.

00:56Okay.

00:57Who would you make you giggle if you saw them?

01:02I don't even know.

01:03That's kind of...

01:04I don't know.

01:05You never know, right?

01:06We're not going to put that in the universe.

01:07We're not going to put it in the universe.

01:08Let's just not put that out there.

01:09So you are performing New to Country, which has been a great song for you.

01:13Thanks.

01:14Holy Smokes.

01:15New single.

01:16Talk about this a little bit.

01:17It's one that I didn't write, but I relate to it a lot because being 17 and falling in

01:26love for the first time is one of the sickest feelings ever.

01:29It's the coolest feeling.

01:32I just think that song really touches on that, just that first love.

01:37That's how my first love was, was finding an empty parking lot, smoking cigs, doing

01:42what your parents told you not to do.

01:46I don't know.

01:47And the song is just so badass.

01:50From the moment I heard the first demo, I was like, oh yeah, this is so sick.

01:55It meant a lot to me.

01:57I related to it like crazy.

01:59And I was like, this is going to be so much fun to sing because I love singing the

02:03Oh, yeah.

02:06It's so good.

02:07All right.

02:08Last question before you go.

02:09How's Marley?

02:10Marley's doing great.

02:11Yeah.

02:12And so is Pi.

02:13I have a new puppy.

02:14You got a new puppy?

02:15I got a new puppy.

02:16I got a Golden Retriever.

02:17You got another Golden Retriever?

02:18Yeah.

02:19I'm going to need to know where you're getting your Golden Retrievers because I want to get

02:20a Golden Retriever.

02:21The first people I got Marley off of was awesome and bought her as a puppy and did the thing.

02:28And then this time, I had been wanting to get Marley a sister, but I was waiting on

02:34like a rescue or something to like kind of get me and be like, oh, I need to do this

02:39and not just be like, I'm going to buy a puppy and go buy a puppy.

02:41I wanted to kind of like rescue one.

02:44And the story is kind of weird because I was in like Southern Tennessee at this truck

02:50show and they were like, hey, these people have Golden Retrievers for sale at the end

02:56of the road.

02:57What?

02:58And I'm like, at the end of the road?

02:59So I drove out there and these puppies were like not being treated the greatest.

03:05You could tell it wasn't the greatest.

03:07And something was just like pulling at me.

03:09You're like, I need to get one.

03:10I don't know.

03:11And I picked up Pi.

03:12Her name's Pi.

03:14And I picked her up and it was just like, wow, like I just really, she just like took

03:18right to me and we were like best buds.

03:20And then turns out she was really sick.

03:24And like I kind of rescued her in a way, like didn't rescue her from already being in a

03:30bad spot, but she could have been.

03:32So I was like, okay, this is what I've been looking for.

03:34Like, yeah, this, I need to like, yeah.

03:37So then she ended up getting really, really sick and almost didn't make it.

03:41And we had to like rush her to the ER.

03:43It was this crazy story of like all these shots and, and she was just champ all the

03:48way through it.

03:49Like crushed it.

03:50Wow.

03:51And yeah.

03:52And she's doing good now.

03:53And she's chilling, running around.

03:54Yeah.

03:55It makes me so happy to hear Marlee has a sister.

03:56Yeah.

03:57Marlee's got a sister.

03:58Family Zimmerman, dog dad to the stars.

04:00I'll take that.
