00:00How are you doing?

00:00When I tell you, we have heard your name so many times.

00:04Like every single person.

00:06Multiple interviews.

00:07Like every time we ask people who they're listening to,

00:09who they're inspired by, who they want to work with, it's you, man.

00:11Who they're proud of, who they're celebrating, who they want to meet.

00:14The list goes on and on.

00:15That's awesome. That's very kind.

00:16Everybody's been really, really sweet this whole week.

00:18Well, always, but this week especially,

00:20it feels like there's a lot of support, a lot of folks behind us.

00:23So it feels really good. Very excited about it.

00:25I mean, how else does this week feel maybe monumental in your career?

00:29I think, I mean, it's always,

00:33it's a huge moment to get to be able to do the, you know,

00:36have a performance on the show and, you know,

00:38be in front of that many, that big of an audience through, you know,

00:42old TV land.

00:44And that's the first time I've done that.

00:46So I'm getting a big old taste in national TV lately.

00:49Did the Fallon Tonight show a little bit ago and then this.

00:53So, yeah, it's really, really cool.

00:54I'm very thankful to get to be in front of everybody.

00:57Hopefully I don't get too nervous and screw it up.

00:59Well then, I mean, also to be best new artist,

01:01but also album of the year,

01:02I feel like it's kind of a like crazy thing to have both at the same time.

01:06Yeah, man.

01:06So what does that mean?

01:07It's wild.

01:09It seemed, the new artist of the year made more sense to me than,

01:13I did not, did not expect the album of the year thing.

01:16It's really, really cool.

01:17Great feeling to have, you know,

01:18it's my debut record and to have that up for that category,

01:21you know, amongst a bunch of great, great other artists.

01:25Very thankful for that.

01:26We'll see what happens.

01:27It's cool to be just in that category.

01:29It's awesome.

01:29And just one more question.

01:30Since everybody wants to work with you,

01:31who do you want to work with?

01:35Maybe Alan Jackson.

01:36I don't know if I could get him back in the studio or not,

01:38but it'd be fun, you know?

01:40I feel like you could do anything right now.

01:41Well, who knows?

01:42Who knows?

01:43We've been on the road with him a little bit

01:44and I've got the chance to hang around him a little bit.

01:46That'd be a fun one.

01:46Cool.

01:47Thanks so much, man.

01:48Good luck to me.

01:48Congratulations and yeah,

01:49let the good luck continue.
