How's your ACM week been so far?
00:02
It's been amazing, dude.
00:04
This is my first time doing the carpet, doing all the stuff, so taking it all in.
00:11
What is your first reaction to this?
00:15
Controlled chaos, it looks like.
00:17
Not a lot of cool people in here.
00:19
I get to see a lot more of my artist friends here than I even do in town, so it's fun.
00:23
And I mean, to me, what is it about that shocking to you?
00:27
Because knowing you and being around you, your energy is so calm.
00:30
I can't see you shocked.
00:31
But then now, being at Billboard Live and then doing stage coaching and then doing this, you've been moving.
00:36
So what's shocking about any of it?
00:38
I think just how much you're gone.
00:43
When you're promoting a song or promoting an album, whatever it may be, it's just a grind.
00:49
And this is kind of my first time doing that as an artist, as opposed to being on the songwriting side of things
00:55
and writing a song and making somebody else do it.
00:58
Now I know all the hard work that goes into it, so I appreciate all my cuts now even more.
01:02
So it's been a lot of fun.
01:04
So you did say, I don't know how much I could say, but this morning, you know, it sounds like there's a lot of new music on the way.
01:09
What can you share about what we're about to hear as fans?
01:12
You know, it's...
01:16
She's a journalist, you know.
01:20
I'm going to drill myself into the ground.
01:22
You are wonderful at your job.
01:24
No, I think we're still kind of...
01:26
We're down to two, I'll tell you that.
01:28
We're down to two for what's going to follow Friends.
01:32
I think the front runner right now is probably Kid Myself, which I'm really excited about.
01:36
We get to do that one at Billboard.
01:38
It was a lot of fun.
01:38
So one of my favorites off the album, for sure.
01:41
You got it out of me.
01:43
You got what you want.
01:45
And does this inspire you?
01:46
Do you ever, like, now that you're in these events and spaces, does it change your songwriting approach at all, ever?
01:52
That's a good question.
01:53
I think it's more inspiring on just leveling up, whatever that may be.
01:59
You know, beating what you've already done.
02:01
I think that's the hardest thing about this industry and what we do.
02:05
It's like, you know, and it relates to other industries, too.
02:08
But for me, specifically, I'm like, how are we going to beat it?
02:11
How are we going to level up?
02:12
So it's always fun to get this and get encouraged to maybe be out here and be playing on the big stage tonight one day, you know?
02:19
Well, keep leveling up, brother.
02:20
Yeah, yeah.
02:21
Thanks so much for hanging out with us, John.
02:22
Yeah, good to see you again.
02:24
Have fun tonight.
02:24
Have fun.
02:25
Yeah, yeah.
02:25
You too.
