Question: Tell me about growing up..
Hailey Whitters: “I grew up in a cornfield in the middle of Iowa. We have lots of corn in Iowa. In fact, my fans have named me the corn Queen, which I think is hilarious and absolutely love. I’m proud to be their corn queen, but I grew up in a small town and, you know, everybody knew everybody. Everybody had everybody’s back. And I’m so grateful to have grown up that way. You know, maybe a little bit slower. A country kid, for sure. But to be able to grow up that way, I think, is so much a part of the reason of who I am today and why I am the way that I am.”

Question: here also seems to be a cadence to the order of the songs. Was that intentional?
Morgan Wallen: Yeah, we you know, we would do like two more traditional country sound songs then we do like an alternative sounding song to two traditional sounding songs, a beat driven song. And then because there was more country, you know, sounding songs on the album than there was anything else, and they’re all they all have a country, obviously, to them. But the others, the songs that were influenced more by other genres, we try to sprinkle them in, you know, in between all the country songs. So I feel like it worked out fine. We just we kind of went into Seth’s office one day and had a big, well, actually, we just put them on the floor all the, all the papers of the songs, and we just started sliding them around and like, making a little puzzle kind of. And just then we just that’s how it ended. It took about an hour probably, You know, like, all right, this works.”

Question: Tell me about this Ryl tea collaboration & did your family have any input?
Morgan Wallen: “Yeah. So, you know, a lot of brands over the past couple of years have have, I don’t know, came and went with with offers and things like that. Most of them being alcohol. And I just felt like so many people have whiskey or tequila or something. I just see it everywhere. So I didn’t really want to do that, at least not at this point. And I met, you know, the people from Ryl Tea and they told me about, you know, the, the health benefits of it, first of all. And then they let me have an input on it on the recipe. And, you know, I got to taste test a bunch of different ones. My, my, my family didn’t really have they kind of already had most of the recipe pretty nailed down. So I think if I came in trying to trying to wreck the whole thing up, then I they might not like that too much. But I did send them like the, the trial runs and things, you know, to make sure they liked it, because I knew if they didn’t like it, then a lot of people probably wouldn’t like it. At least not, you know, from where I’m from. So they still had a they still had a piece in it, just just not in the recipe.”
Ashley Cooke – Favorite song to play live

Question: What is your favorite song to play live?
Ashley Cooke: “It’s so hard because there’s honestly, truly so many. Which I’m lucky to say, hard because this is like super funny because it is the radio single. But honestly, your place, like, we only moved to the back of the set because of the way that the crowd reacted to it and it’s wow, they scream. It’s so loud. There’s always there’s this part in the bridge where they just naturally started to scream to the point that I have to, like, stop the song and like, just take a minute, let them scream it out. Which is really, really cool. I’d say your place is, you know, one of the top. The top ones in the set for sure.”
