00:00Is this your first CMA?

00:01It is.

00:02Okay, how are you feeling right now?

00:04Well, I'm excited because I don't have to perform and do anything.

00:09I can't make any mistakes.

00:10I just get to watch and be a fan of all of the music that I like.

00:14So, I'm a kid in a candy store.

00:17Definitely.

00:18So, you are on Yellowstone.

00:20I want to hear about that.

00:22Yellowstone has been quite the phenomenon.

00:25We didn't know what it was when we started it.

00:27You know, you have this idea and you hope for the best,

00:30but you never imagine it's going to affect people the way that it has.

00:33And we reach so many people and have the response.

00:37So, then we have a responsibility to service that and to try to keep it going

00:41and keep it fresh and take care of the people that we make it for,

00:45which is the ranchers and the farmers, and service them.

00:48And we've got a great cast and crew and writers and directors to help us do it.

00:52So, we're just working our mutts off to make sure we don't miss a step.

00:55Absolutely.

00:56So, the John Dutton stuff has been in the media a lot.

00:59Could you tell us a little bit about that and how that's affected this year?

01:05You know, I would use the analogy of a football team.

01:10If your quarterback gets hurt and he has to come out of a game, you have to play.

01:16And so, you've got to figure out another way to run the ball or throw the ball

01:20or just do different things because you can't quit.

01:24And so, that's what happened.

01:25We lost our quarterback and we still have to play the game.

01:29I love that analogy.

01:30Yeah.

01:31And, like, the team is still supporting you.

01:32It's still.

01:33There's a lot of other people there and families and the whole world around it

01:36and the stadium and everybody has to go to work.

01:38So, what are you going to do?

01:39Well, you've got to figure it out.

01:40And so, that's what we do.

01:41We found a way to figure it out.

01:43Wow.

01:44And has that affected you personally just with the change?

01:49Yeah.

01:50You know, you get into a certain level of comfort and understanding.

01:53And when it's altered, it's a little bit of a bump.

01:57But, like anything, you just put your helmet on and you're like,

02:00I've got to go catch the next pass.

02:02So, you can't really dwell on it too much.

02:05Yeah.

02:06Well, were you so excited when they asked you to be a part of Yellowstone?

02:09Yes.

02:10What was that?

02:11I was thrilled.

02:12Did you see the vision of how big it was going to be?

02:13I wanted to be a cowboy since I was a kid.

02:15Didn't know how big it was going to become at all.

02:18I thought we were going to have a really good time and who knows how long it will last.

02:22If you get a year or two, that's a huge success.

02:24After season three, I was like, wow, this is bigger than anything I could have imagined.

02:29So, that's when it just every day you're pinching yourself about what you get to do at work

02:34and the fun things that are happening.

02:36It's like being at Disney on a daily basis.

02:39Absolutely.

02:40Who's your favorite cast member that you've worked with?

02:42Oh, gosh.

02:43Just on a personal level.

02:44We want to know that.

02:45I spend a ton of time with Jen Landon.

02:47Oh, I love Jen.

02:48And I'm just in love with her.

02:49We're kindred spirits.

02:51So, we're always running around doing stuff together.

02:53I love Denim.

02:54I love Jeff.

02:55I love Bingham and Hassey, Jake and Ethan, Corey.

02:57I mean, Cole.

02:58Everybody's the same.

02:59It's really a clubhouse.

03:00Yes.

03:01So, it's hard to pick one, but I just happened to see Jen last week.

03:04She's amazing.

03:05And we just laugh.

03:06We just laugh all the time.

03:07Does she still have her rescue?

03:09Yes.

03:10Laskis.

03:11Laskis.

03:12Laskis is, I don't even know, it's the dog from the brand with the spot eye from like

03:19Target.

03:20Yeah.

03:21Target.

03:22Yeah.

03:23Whatever breed that is.

03:24I can't remember what breed that is.

03:25And it's a weird little dog.

03:26But yeah, she still has Laskis.

03:28So, tell us one more thing about your music, or not your music, your acting career.

03:34Something that is like taking you from the beginning to the end and to where you are

03:38right now.

03:39Oh, gosh.

03:40Okay.

03:41Super easy question, right?

03:42The beginning, they don't tell you the length of time from when you say you want to do something

03:48and what it means to achieve it.

03:50And you have to constantly renew your idea of what you're doing to get there.

03:57Otherwise, the whole thing falls apart.

03:59And so, I'm always making sure in my mind I know what I'm doing.

04:03And that's what keeps me able to work and be happy going to work every day.

04:08Because it's not the glamour and the success of it all, at all.

04:12Oh, I'm sure it's not.

04:13It's the hard parts of it.

04:14Absolutely.

04:15It's trickier than people think.

04:17I'm sure it is.

04:18And I'm not an actress, but I have a lot of respect for you and how hard you work and everything.

04:24So, thank you so much for coming and talking to us.

04:26Thanks for watching it.

04:27Of course.

04:28I'm a huge fan.

04:29I hope you like how it ends.

04:30Oh, now I have to know.

04:33I can't tell you.

04:34I know you can't tell me, but I'm like dying now.

04:36You got four more weeks.

04:37There's one on Sunday, and then there's three more.

04:40I think it ends on the 17th of December will be the finale.

04:44So, everything will be answered at that point.

04:46Wow.

04:47So, there's no more Yellowstone after that, huh?

04:49That is unclear.

04:51Oh, so we have some prequels, and we may have a...

04:53Anything's possible.

04:55I will say that anything is possible.

04:57So, you...

04:59Maybe.

05:00I don't actually know that.

05:01I'm just saying.

05:02I think he knows, and he's not telling us.

05:03Not no, not yes, not no.
