Wilson I got to say that it was 2022 when I first met you at the CMAs you were the most nominated artist that night y now we're at the cmts and you're the most nominated artist again like how do you keep doing this by the grace of God and a little luck mixed in it it does seem like the stars keep like aligning over and over and over again I don't know how it happens I don't I don't such a blessing and then to be nominated and also perform like what's more nerve-wracking for you uh probably the performance you know the truth is award shows are incredible and especially when they're fan voted like the cmts but I always try to make sure that win or lose I mean the truth is it's not going to stop me from doing my job and writing that next record and and doing what I feel like I was born to do you know so the performance it don't matter if it's 200 people or 20 million people your girls going to get nervous always even now the truth is too though I feel like once I stop getting nervous we got a problem good point CU that means I might not care and I don't but I don't want you to get more nervous but also Toby Keith trip you well yes that's incredible how's it feel to be involved in that how did he influence your career I mean he was a soundtrack of my childhood um just and even watching his music videos on CMT it was a thing for me where I felt like man okay if I really want to do this it's important for me to um to watch people like Toby Keith who show their personality ities who are like unapologetically themselves they stand up for what they believe in and I mean that right there is something that I I put in my back pocket and I heard maybe a rumor that you might be on the cover of some magazine that's popular um like how excited would that how exciting would that be see now see I'm want to tell more than I'm supposed to tell he going to get me in trouble and I mean you might have some new music that you might even be talking to with that magazine and see someday I mean it might be a lot sooner than you think oo I like that that we'll take that my wink down my my wink ain't real good you did a good job thank you so much always fun to hang out
