“Yeah, I meet a lot of young girls at my shows in the crowd and they’re always so sweet. I tried to like, give them my guitar picks when I walk by. And it’s so sweet because I hope they go and play guitar. But yeah, I think that I remember my first concert being LeAnn Rimes and just being so in awe of her. And I think I was eight or nine years old, and just looking up to her and thinking like, wow, someday that could be me. So to have that impression, and, yeah, kind of responsibility is a huge deal to me. And especially now that I’m a parent, even though I have a boy I feel like yeah, it’s like, through my words, through my lyrics through my activism, like whatever I’m doing. People are like, young girls are seeing it. Young kids are seeing it and hopefully they’re being inspired to just be themselves and not water themselves down or dim their light in any way.”
