Katelyn Brown

She and Kine met through music. Her manager introduced her to Caine because she was looking for a love interest in her music video, and lo and behold, Mr Brown was the chosen one. It was so fun getting to hear their love story and hear about their life on the road, their dance parties because if you watch their Instagram, they have some incredible dance bottles that she puts up, which I live for, and just to hear all about

their lives, So get excited for Caitlin. Before we hop into the interview, I want to talk to you about a meal delivery service that is changing my life.

I with Caitlin Brown. Hey, how do you like your new last name? You know, it took a second to get used to it, it did it? Yeah, Because when I went to the store and stuff and I would like they would be like, okay, in your last name, I would still say my last name. What was your last name? It was Kraft, like the macaroni and cheese. Yeah, And so then I was like, oh, it's it's Brown actually, never mind Caitlin Brown. Yeah. Well, so you're fresh off

the newly wed train, like fresh out like a month ago. Okay, talk to me about what's been going on in this month of marriage. Do you feel different? Do you feel like a new woman? How is the wedding out. The wedding was amazing, although we're still drinking chance to celebrate it. Yes we are. Cheers. Here's to your lovely name. Isn't nuptials nuptials? I have no idea of wedding. Okay, yeah, but yeah, I don't feel like any different. I really don't. I mean, it's fun and it's exciting, but we lived

together before and we're doing the same thing. I actually woke up the next day after the wedding and was like, I'm glad that's over. There was a lot of stress. What was the most stressful part of it? I think it was like, for a year and a half, all we're engaged, the only thing people would know to talk to me about was so, how's the wedding? And I was like, one more person asked me about the wedding or my dress or anything about it. I'm like, I

can't handle it that. I feel like my brother in law says that people stayed the obvious, and everyone, especially like someone like you, if you're walking down an interview line or if you see someone you haven't seen very often, they're going to stay the first thing they can think of, and it's like, oh, my gosh, you're so over it, like so over it. It's like as soon as you get married, get ready. Now it's when are you having babies?

That's up next. Those are our dogs right now. But after you had your first baby that it's like when are you going to have Anotherwise, it's like always just the next thing, I know, And right now I'm just like completely content. Isn't that wonderful? It really is. I'm just like, are you letting ourself enjoying it? Yeah? Yeah I am. I got like a lot of stuff done with the new house, and I'm like liking traveling and having to worry about it. Was it stressful to travel

when you were doing the wedding? My mom? Thank god for my mom. Oh my god. If it wasn't for my mom, it would have not been like that, like at all. She did so much. Um So, I know, like a lot of girls are like, oh my god, I'm so stressed, like this is awful. I was like I don't care. Like I was like, yeah, I mean, I told him exactly what I wanted it to feel like.

I'm not like super girly, so I was like I wanted to feel woodsy, like enchanted, forest, and my bridesmaid's dresses were like a sage green, like an army green, and I kind of was just like, come with me, come to me with questions of like two options, and I'll just say yes or now smart yes. I didn't want to worry about it. I didn't care you and you probably enjoyed the process so much more I did.

It really wasn't that bad. So tell me how you felt though, when it was like the wedding days happening and like all this work's coming together. You are now on the dress, the guests are showing up, You're about to walk down the aisle, Like what are you feeling in that moment? But it's about to happen, about to throw up? Like I was so weirdly calm like all day. And then I did my first look with my dad. You did yeah, oh stop, it was very emotional. Oh my gosh. We cried. My dad is like the funniest

human on earth. He is and so like everything, Like he can take a funeral and make some kind of joke about it, and I appreciate that to always find yes. So he's not going to let anything right on his parade, no matter what he's going to enjoy life. Right, It's always like some kind of funny joke. Some people might not like that, but I love that. I appreciate that. I like people that make light of a heavy situation too. We don't want to go swimming and just live in

the bottom of those feelings. Let's figure out how we can find joy again. Right, Yes, So we did our first look and then that was like, no, he didn't correct, but I could tell he got like red in his face and he saw me, and I was like, do it, do it, let it to your But then he said some joke. Okay, that moment was over real, real, vast.

I appreciate that. So I think the most like scary moment was when we were in the van and we were waiting to walk down the aisle, just me and my dad, and I was watching everyone walk in and sit down, and I was like, what, I will never do this again. This is like the most awful feeling,

like the pressure. It was so much pressure. It's just even though you love your husband more than anything in your world, because in the world, like I remember this, when I was marrying Michael, like more than anything, I wanted to marry him but it's just that huge, huge thing that's happening, and like you said, you'll never do it again. You are now tied to this one person for the rest of your life, which is awesome, but it's still huge. It's just a huge moment. Yeah. Yeah,

I wasn't nervous or anything. I was like, I just want to marry Kane. All this extra stuff going on right now is like stressing me out. All the people there that my entertainment. You want to make sure they're having a good time. I couldn't even get a good buzz at my wedding. Girl ever, I'm I trying to take a sip of something. Someone's like, come take a picture, and I'll be like, well, put my champagne back down. Like I can't even get a buzz at my own wedding.

What is this? What is this? Did y'all dance though? Because you and Kane's Instagram dance videos I live for. By the way, I hope one's coming up for the holidays? Are you preparing well out? Who knows. When we spend too much time at our house, we don't know what to do with ourselves, so we usually end up like making up some choreography or something, which I'm grateful for because I'm like, literally when it happens, I'm like, oh

my god, there dance. Like the first time I thought, I was like, this is dancing happening, and then it's good dancing, and then you're like core and seat together and you're like ya moves, and I'm like, oh my gosh, if Michael and I put all these up, your people would die. No, I can't dance, came can No, you can dance. No, you can dance his ass off. So does he teach you or do you teach him? Or do y'all his improvised Yeah. I mean like we have

two different styles of dancing. I'm more of like the white girl booty popping, like yeah, and he's just like cool, like he can moonwalk and like do cool stuff. And I'm just like, god, you're so cool. So often fair dance often, So you often dance just like for fun, like it throughout the house, like when you're home, just the two y'all, and it's like you're chilling, like yeah, you sounds so cheesy to say out, but we do.

I mean like it's just like we're making fun of each other and like we always have music on or something, and yeah, I mean there's always like a breakout, dance move happening or dance battle. I think that's a way that's a great tip to happiness in marriage. Yeah. I mean, if you're dancing with each other, you're always gonna have fun. Yeah, I mean it's fun. We're like best friends. So how awesome is that? I know, if you're built in best friend Now I'm blessed. I am. Was it love at

first sight? Because okay, because you were telling me you guys met, because you had a manager. You're kicking booty, You're an artist in a badass like hands down on top of it, dropped it gorgeous. One of the prettiest people I've ever seen. So you are you are no, no, no no. So you're doing your own thing, rocking your own world. Tell me what's going on before you just

get hit by the love train. Because then you did it, you turn and went on a totally different route, right, Yeah, I mean I kind of like it all kind of fell into place, like it's just, Uh, I was doing my own thing, and where were you living? Uh? This time, I was living in Orlando, so I was down there doing my thing. And where are you from? Philadelphia? Okay? Did you grow up in the woods? You just love the woods? Yeah, okay, yeah completely, like in the woods.

Oh yeah, well it's we're not in the city. We're like thirty like how we are right here towards Nashville. Okay, a little outside of town. So my parents had a house in the woods and we had like dirt bikes, and I have all brothers, and you're one of those awesome girls, so you you know, how to be your

own guys, like you would just hanging out with guys. Yeah, I get it, just because like my brothers, like they were rough with me, Like you know, I just had to like suck it up because you wanted to hang out with them, So in order to hang out, you just had to deal with the behavior. Yeah. I thought they were cool, so I just wanted to be their friend. And they really didn't become my friend until I got older and they started thinking my friends were hot. That's

when they wanted to hang out with me. So I was always like the younger sister until my friends grew up. And then and now my one brother is marrying my roommate, one of my best friends You're like, you're welcome. You're welcome. You're welcome brother and friend, but mainly brother. You're welcome. You're in the wedding, I'm the maid of honor as

you should be. It's so cool. I'm so excited. And now you get built in best friend for your sister exactly, Like you don't have to worry about your sister in law being anything other than your best friend. And now you get to hang out legit as family. Yeah, like she has no choice other than to be my best friend the rest of my life. Now great? Really well yeah, yeah, life's good right now. I can't complain. So you grew up in the woods, and then how did you get

to Orlando? Um? Well I was. I was singing and doing like auditions and everything, and then I end up getting signed by my manager and his place was in Orlando. So he he manages justin Timber like still today, but he would like did all the boy bands like in Sync and Brittany during that time. So it was in Orlando because they were all down there. Mickey Mouse Club and a lot of them were doing shows at the Disney Parks. So that's how that got started. So everyone's

like Orlando. That's so random. I know, I kind of thought so too, But then I was going, well, you know, yeah, that is where all the boy bands were, right, Yeah, so all that started. So he kind of made like a compound. Well that's what it's called in Orlando, and I lived there by myself, kind of scared. I don't know how I did it looking back, but I think I was just I was eighteen, and any of the people there, like any of the other now, no other

like that. Compound had been there since like the nineties, the early nights, so like everyone that like developed their's rehearsal rooms and studios. It's insane, Like if you ever get a chance to check it out, I guess Johnny writes compound, that's my manager's name. And then it was just like he didn't live there anything, but it was like this huge house. It would be like an art

a stream, like there's rehearsal studio, rehearsal rooms, studios. Um, it was kind of like a camp, like we had like all these beds for like if different bands came in and needed to like use the rehearsal rooms for a week. It was really cool. Um, So I lived there for like years and how was it you said this huge compound to yourself. Basically, basically it was. It was really cool, but at the same time, I was

really lonely. It was really like, like my twenty one birthday, I did not go out and like party with anyone my age. Not saying I didn't have fun. Like everyone I worked with became family, but everyone I worked with for like parents to me totally. So, um, I feel like I missed out because I left college. I was like, you know, I went to Westchestern University up in Pennsylvania, and then as soon as I got the opportunity, I was like, by totallyn't want to be here anyway. I

wanted to do music. So I moved to Orlando and I was down there for a few years. And then I was working with this producer out of Atlanta and came I us was to We didn't know each other, and then um, I was shooting a music video and the guy that they hired to be like the love interest in the video. I was like, he's not my type. He's huge, Like he was like this big bodybuilder and I was like eighteen years old. I was like, no,

this does not make sense. And so the producer of the song was like, I know this kid that would be perfect. You guys are like the same age shop and I was like, okay, show me a picture and I was like yeah, and I was like, tell him if he could come down. So he called Kane No Way, never knew came he was your love interest in your music video. So we called him and he was like sure, when's the video and we're like tomorrow. He's he He had his first sold out show in like North or

South Carolina. So we never met until like almost a year later when he had a show in Florida and I was with that same producer and he invited me to go to the show and then came. Didn't talk to me. I didn't talked to him like the whole time. We were like we were both very shy. So you guys were just like hi, bye. Yeah. I was like Hi, nice to meet you on Caitlin and he's like hey with his boys, Okay, bye, I'm going to the bar. You're super cute. Totally would have made out with my

music video, but bye yeah. I was like, remember last year when I wanted you to be in my video and then uh yeah, we didn't really talk and then I got like this message the next day and he got my number. Yeah, and he thank god for Instagram, right, thank god he messaged you. So he s he slid in there when he saw you. He knew it. He said, I gotta hit her up on the ground. Oh yeah. So I was like, yes, score, I thought he was

so cute, just keep chatting. Well no, I mean, I would have never guessed it was the same guy because his whole like demeanor change. He was like, what are you doing Wednesday? And this was Sunday. Where are you living now? I'm in Orlando, And where is he living now? Nashville? So how are you going to see him on Wednesday? That's what I thought, So I said, I said, oh, so you have a show back in Florida. He was like, no, I want to come to Nashville. And everyone I went

there like, you need to go be a kid. You need to go on a date like you have been sitting here just like not being social. You have no friends down here. You need to be a kid. And I was like, screw it. Yeah, so he felt close because he had the same manager, so you know he's not a Yeah, I knew he wasn't agree if this

was some random guy, of course not. But I've known of him and we've we we've talked, and you know, there was like mutual people there, so it wasn't some and you have been meaning to meet for a while so now so now it's finally happening. And um My, my management was like, you need to go, like go have fun. And um her name is Angela. She became a second mom to me. So she was like, I'm booking you the red eye out tonight. You're gonna fly

up to Nashville have fun. He booked my flight there, but he never booked me a return flight because he's like you're coming and you're saying whatever. So love a man who was not afraid to put the moves down like that. Well, Kane, okay, And we had the best night in Nashville, and here I am, where'd you go? I think he went to Tutsie's. So he just gave

you a Nashville like Honky talk experience. We went out with his friends and we liked his friends, and then you're like, okay, then to Bar Louie, had some good food, had some drinks, and it just felt so natural, like it was effortless, and I was like, I remember on the first date that I was like, I'm going to marry him like that. I never felt that way about anyone ever. It was weird. It was a weird feeling of that old how old are you. I'm twenty six

and he's twenty five. Okay, So but yeah, you just felt different. Yeah, yeah, it was weird. It just feels like you like have known this person in your whole life and it's comfortable. That's how it felt. That's how I knew something was so different. You know. I just was like so comfortable. And I told you when I

got here. I remember when Caine announced this to the world that he was dating you, because he was like, Okay, everybody, this is my girlfriend and I know you are going to embrace her and lover and like all of a sudden, after that, he was posting about you all the time, and I'm like, dang, like this is great. Yeah. We were dating a year and we kept it a secret

before he posted that, Okay. So I had like an Instagram that was kind of like it's the singing stuff and everything like that, and then I felt like there was some haters happening. Well, he's one of those artists. If he's going to come out with a girlfriend, he's got to be ready to commit because his fans are die hard. They love him, and no girl getting in there unless she's probably the one. They probably accepted you because you're the wife and the chosen one. But like

any other one, you know, he's serious about this. Yeah, it was kind of scary. It was kind of scary. I didn't have an Instagram and then because I deleted it and we were like on the d L for a year straight. And then he was like, I'm I'm tired of like hiding this and I was like, thank god too. I feel like I don't exist ever here. You're like, I'm in my and my compound with my secret boyfriend. But life is great, s s. I'm spending out pigeons. I'm alive over here. Do I even have

a name? I don't know? Like that? So um so yeah, that was that, and he told the world that's awesome. So that's a drastic change. Then, Yeah, how did you How did you go from one extreme together? How did it go? Um? I think we stopped kind of caring. Yeah, that's the way to be you can't care. Yeah, we're just kind of like fine. I kind of got to the point when I was like, if you want to hate me and you don't know me or anything about me,

go ahead. You know that's said that you have that kind of hate in your heart, you know, when you don't know someone and you judge them. So it was hard in the beginning, but um, a lot of the girls are really really we're sweet. And then especially today, I feel like Kane's friends, like Kane's fans that are girls are like my friends. That's awesome. They'll be like, what makeup and with this? And I'm like, you guys are cool. Yeah, yeah, they're cool. You're probably just protective,

which is great because that makes me great. Fam. I mean they're protecting their boy. But now I know he's got a good girl, and I'll settled down. It's awesome. I love that. And they were like very respectful to which I appreciate. Yeah, you know, like they love us for us, you know what I mean, not just like oh well, we have to love her. Like they make it feel okay. I feel like something's happening in country music.

I interviewed Haley Hubbard before you today and we're talking about just like marriage and country music, and I feel like it is cool to be married in country music now, and I'm so grateful for that, especially like to be

in it. You know, obviously there's still whatever can happen, like not everyone's going to be totally supportive, but for the most part, people love to see happy couples and it's almost like, well, dang, okay, I could maybe have that too, Like true love can exist because it's been portrayed for so long that you can't be cool in an entertainment industry and married, but you can't absolutely like and I totally feel like that with country music is like they look at as a positive thing, which it

should be because it is compared to like other genres where it's kind of like, oh, it's cool like to be single and hang out with a ton of girls, And I'm like, if you did any other genre, I swear like, I'm like, but um yeah, I agree with you and he loves you, like I love how much I'll claim each other and put your love out there, because I just think people need to see love, especially like so many I guess high profile marriages or people

who are in the spotlight. It usually doesn't work out or something or there's like a you know, and it's just like to see a couple he's like staying strong in their love and putting it out there and and owning it. I think that is so good for young people to see. Yeah, you know, yeah, I mean I

love it. I feel like, I don't know, I feel like it's like a total positive, good energy thing for other people too, And I think it gives people hope exactly, you know, because I like, I really didn't date a lot before Kane or anything like that, but there are some scummy guys out there, you know, and he's like a genuine, really good person, like not even just to me, like just thinks he does in his daily life, for how I see the way he treats people he works with,

and you know, I was like, he was in Nebraska for a show the other day and they were supposed to fly home private, but the snowstorm was so bad that they couldn't and I was like, I hadn't seen him in a week, and I was like, well, just hop on like the next commercial flying He's like, well there's only two seats, and he's like I'm not going to just leave my band. And I was like, okay, I can. I can appreciate that, you know what I mean, Like, he just has a good heart. Um, And I'm so

blessed to have someone like that. Honestly, Yes, so blessed. So what is touring life life like for you? Tell me how you've adjusted to it. And because you went on tour Jason last year and now he's doing his own touring like how and you're in school? Yeah, do you like touring? Like have you enjoyed that traveling aspect? Seeing all the country and I guess the world too? Yeah, I do. I like traveling. You got the travel bug? Yeah,

for sure. I like to travel. Um. I think people think it's way more glamorous than what it is, right because they'll be like, oh, you went to the city in this city, But it's kind of like you get off the bus, you go on the venue, caught back on the bus, and you're in the next city. Usually don't get to see anything. Yes, um. And when we first started dating, we were on a bus with like thirteen dudes. Me and him shared a bunk which was smaller than a twin bed, and stuck our bulldog at

our feet. So all three of us were in a bunk and that was for like a year and a half with the bulldog. With the bulldog. But aren't you kind of glad you had that bonding moment. I loved it, I like, other than like it started to stink because the guys take their their like shirts and socks off and they just throw them on the floor after the show. Yeah. Well he had a he had a girl tour manager at first, Um, so we were the only two girls, which is just like on a bus full of guys,

it's just crazy. Um. But now it's all boys. But this past year he got his own bus, so it's his tour manager, me and Kane. We'll bring our dogs and occasionally one of the guys from the band or his photographer will ride with us. It's fun. Yeah, it's fun. But after like a week, you're like, okay, I'm ready to get home. Every time I'm on the bus, I just know we're gonna crash, like and that's a terrible

thing to think. I hate thinking that, Like I cannot falslee because you hit the guard rail and yeah, and I'm just like, okay, this is it. This is how we're going down, like, okay, yeah, please be fast, right. I get scared too. In the middle of the night, I might wake up and I'm like, I feel like we're flying, like slow down, this is huge, they're going

too fast. Yeah, like I know, or you get like a fill in driver, like we have an awesome driver, just like he's amazing, Like nothing shifts in the middle of the night. I feel having a great driver is one of the most important things because they hold everyone's life in their absolutely. I would fall asleep at the wheel. I cannot stay up all night. I can highway hypnosis, like I literally drive anywhere after Yeah, those yellow dots, I just start going cross side. I'm like a cross side.

I just want to close and I know in my brain they need to stay open, but I can't. No, I feel you, yeah, but having a great driver, But I always just a little nervous. And then I tell myself, Caroline, this is like the many things you just have to learn to give up control. That's me With airplanes, I have like this horrible fear of flying. Okay, I don't have that. Tell me about your lucky I don't know. I've flown my whole life and It kind of happened

within like the last two years. I kind of had a crazy experience just on a bad flight, just a turbulence, ton of turbulence. Things were just like falling on the ground, like holding on for dear life. That's what it felt like to me. Never that's not good. Yeah, um and so, and then I had this other experience we're on like it was actually really funny. Um Kane and his manager. She's so awesome. She and Kane of the same birthday.

And I think we were in North Carolina or something, and they got like a little private plane but it was like a propeller plane and I've never flown on one of those, to just come back for the night. And we had one pilot, which that's like my rule. I will not fly if there's one pilot. What if something happens to that pilot, We're like, yeah, we're done. Yeah. So she she sat as the co pilot and we all were like having fun and drinking and like it

was fun. And he was like, here, I'll teach you how to fly, and I'm like, no, hild yeah, yeah, taught her how to fly, and so she's like okay, and you just feel like the plane like dip and I was like, I was like, I'm just trying to be here for this lesson. I was like, I'm going to throw up. It was like a forty five minute flight back. But so after like a few plane experiences and then just hearing like horrible things in the news about little private plane, I think I'm more scared of

private um freaked me out. And so now every time I'm on a plane, if it's not like past noon and I can't have like a drink, I like freak out. I don't like it, but I do it because I'm trying this thing where I don't let fear hold me back from living my life. How are you doing that? What is your process? Well? I went to Whole Foods and I got the Rescue Remedy. It's like these little drops you can put on your tongue. I highly recommend.

Did they calm you down? I don't know if it's like in my head because I'm doing something that I'm calming down, but they work. And then I put a little bit of lavender on my wrists and then I listened to the same album every time I fly. What is it? Tory Kelly? She just came out with like a gospel album to like not gospel, like a Christian album. But I love it and I always listened to her. Her voice like sues me. I think she's the greatest.

She's so soulful. So that's like my ritual. Yeah, it helps. And then Kane just falls asleep. It's so annoying because I'm over there like shaking, my palms are sweatinging. I'm staring up the aisle to see if the flight attendants are moving around fast, any lights coming on, trying to get any signs. I just need to know what's happening the psycho. But I'm glad you've original. That's good. Okay. How precious is Caitlin Brown. I cannot handle her. She's

so stinking cute. And I love that she's conquering her fears and she's finding a ritual and she's getting over the fear flying because that is really scary, Like that is a real legit fear. This is nothing like flying. But I if you know me, you know the kitchen has been a fear for me, it really has. I've been really afraid of cooking because I feel like I'm terrible at it. Every time I've tried to do something on my own and come up with my own recipe,

I feel like it's always a failure. And being a wife, I really just want to rocket in the kitchen because it makes you feel so good to be able to give your husband a home cooked meal or your partner. So if you guys feel like me, home chef is a godsend. It is an answered prayer. Every week. There's twenty six different delicious meals that you can pick from. They have all the different types, like I said before, chicken, seafood, beef, vegetarian. You can mix and match based on what you want.

to Caitlin talking about conquering her fears. I love that you are talking about not letting fear hold you back, though, because someone like you and all the wives that have been interviewing for this series are phenomenal like yourself, and so it's always so interesting to me to realize that I see you and I think perfection, true perfection, But it's like you have things that you have to overcome too, you know, and it's just we're all just destruct not struggle,

but just figuring out ways to get through this and not let fear step in and drive the car. Absolutely, I have terrible anxiety. Like what gives you anxiety? I don't know. And that's the weird thing I'm trying to figure out. I think I have low B twelve. So I've been doing B twelve shots. But I know I sound crazy, but I'm trying to figure it out because I'll get like a panic attack and I'll just be watching a movie. It's like a shortness of breath feeling,

and I'm like, what is wrong with me? So um, I'm very like holistic. And again, well I try to say gluten free, um, no dairy um, and I eat no red meats, I do fish. But you feel so good not after Thanksgiving? Well you have to take a little break your wedding. Then Thanksgiving, Yeah, will come from like alcohol and cake, not from like bad food. It would be like sweets and alcohol. Um. I like ice cream cake too. I like cookie dough. Oh me too.

That's my Favorite's just my second favorite. I love it. I love basing robins. Oh, yes, are all yes, Okay. What's your favorite alcohol of choice or beverage? Usually wine, Okay, I'm a wine drinker. Red white, um, red, if it's after six white, if it's before white. It's like my light daytime, and Champs is like makes mine any anytime I can add Champs to my day, I'm like, today just got fun. Like today just like got awesome. It's fun and like you can drink it as soon as

you wake up. If you want to throw some o J in there, you're doing yourself a favor. You're giving yourself that vitamin C. Yeah, you're like, you're welcome body, and then you know a couple of hours later it's time for a great nap. So it's like once again, you're welcome body, not even a great nap. So basically when mostes are healthy, I think, I think so. So you're gluten free, you like like the oils essential oils. Yeah,

not a lot of meat, mainly just fish dish. Usually I'll have chicken once in a blue moon if there's no If we're somewhere for dinner and there's like two options, like a steak or chicken, I'll order the chicken and I'll have like two bites and then you're like, OK, I'm done. Yeah. I love animals and it and it makes me not feel as well, you know what I mean.

I wonder sometimes if I don't feel as well after I eat me because I tried to be vegetarian for eight months because of the animals, and then I gained ten pounds because I was eating cars, cars, cars, everything. Like I'm a vegetarian, I have to eat this. This is part of my diet. Plant. I'm like, what diet is only eating carves and process food. I'm clearly not doing this right. But I know that eating the animals makes me feel so sad. I know. But then I'm like, God,

there's so many things that make me feel sad. If I like started with the world, I know we will be like in a bubble, Like then I wouldn't even live because then I can even go to plants, like I can start feeling sad for plants, like the Christmas tree we just got. I'm like, we bought this tree that's been going for seven years, and we're chopping it down and putting it in our house so we can live there for thirty days tops and then we're just gonna throw it away and I'll give the treat all

the feelings. And Michael's like, you gotta rain it in. I see, I want a real tree. But Kine's scared that the dogs are gonna pee on it, like lift their legs because they're both boys and they're just like super dominant dogs. So he's like, we're not getting a real tree because they're going to think they're outside and can lift their leg on a tree. I would never have been thought of that we have girl dogs, but

with a guy dog, especially with a massive people. Oh yeah, that massive his like aim is going to be mid tree. He's huge. Yeah, he's huge. He's a big boy. Did they sleep in the bed if kids on the road? Hopefully he doesn't listen to this. No, no, because I go through comforters, you know what I mean, Like they ruin a comfort they do it's like impossible to get the hair up or like some slobber. I'm the same though.

I'm like, when Michael's gone on the road, I'm not trying to sleep in the bed by myself when there's two alive and breathing and want to be cuddling. Yeah, you know, yeah, I won't pass up good cut off. I cannot keep catching Nash on this couch in here because he's not allowed on the new one. We just got that one out in the living room. We're like, nope, they're not allowed. So he keeps coming. I'll let him do this because it's kind of like my room. So

you're like, Mommy says, you can. You can sit on that couch all you want, honey. So when you all come parents one day, okay, it's gonna be the one like these are the rules, this is how it's going, and you're gonna be like, okay, if we can kind of like cut this corner, maybe like your dad's not home, you can have that. But I don't know. He's like very excited to be a dad one day. He is like that's his life goal, Like he cannot wait to stop. He's like, I want to be like a football coach,

baseball coach, basketball coach. Like where are we fitting this in? Are you serious? He loves kids and he like cannot wait to be a dad. Does that just s melt you? Yeah? But I'm kind of just like, okay, well, your career is like going really fast right now. And getting someone to watch our dogs. If we don't take them every weekend, it's hard enough. So let's but but there's no rush. You know, he wants that, but there's no rush. We need to live right now. And this is what's kind

of like happening. It's great that you literally have so much time. Yeah, that's great, it's amazing, and I think truly you might as well just enjoy as much time as you can as a married couple when you're young, when all the stuff is new and exciting, and live it up, because then you'll get to the point where you're like, Okay, I've been there, done that. You're ready for a new thing. But you got all this time

together and form this great foundation and have all these memories. Yeah, that's kind of like all I wanna do is like travel and enjoy each other right now, you know what I mean, Like just keep doing what we're doing and be us. And yeah, I don't know, so what do you guys Like, y'all are funny together, y'all are goofy Yeah, and Dancy, we're weird, but what weird? Just we're weird, actually weird. I don't know, like we just like it's just very like all humor, you know what I mean.

Awes Like we'll talk to each other and he's like, weird voices and might be weird, okay, But I love it because it makes me do you we have characters? Wait? So do we have a full character? Like we are so weird? And I love it because it's not like sexual characters. No no, no, no no, no not at all, not at a talk to each other voices, just different voices for like different situations, and Michael always is doing the voices and I'm so glad we're not the only one.

But it makes me laugh so hard sometimes I'm like I just have to I have to like pursue it and I'll try to like get involved with the story because I wanted to keep going because it's so funny to me in this little life and personality. I'm always like, are you gonna make animated films one day? Because you have a plethora of voices? Yeah? No, that's that's me in Kaine, Like we legit are always talking in different voices.

I was like, if someone put hidden cameras in our house, they would think we were the weirdest people in our Like I can't I love that I can't. That makes me so happy, don't you love though? Because you're so lighthearted. You said you grew up with brothers group, with a dad who always is making light of serious situations. Obviously

you've married some of the great sense of humor. I appreciate that so much, being able to be in a light marriage, Like even though Michael and I deal with heavy things, it's like he always is wanting to make it light and I am so grateful to have that because it's life is so stressful. I know, like the little things that I stress about that that seemed big at the time. He's like, are you honestly like upset

about that? And I'm like you're not, And he's like no, And I'm like what I wish I could like have a little bit more of that. But you're very lighthearted, I am, um, But he's like extra chill, you know what I mean, Like it's all good. How is it that way? I don't know. I don't know. Kan Kane had like quite the story growing up, and I feel like he's just a strong person and he's tough and it would take something big to really to rock his belt. Yeah. Yeah,

he's very just we'll figure it. Every time I'm like, well, this happened, so what are we going to do about We'll figure it out. And I'm like, well when when, and he's like, we'll get it done. It'll be done.

I think sometimes that happens. I feel like because Michael had kind of an emotional start also, and I mean, I don't even know what Kans is, but I think when you can survive some heavy stuff when you're young, you almost like your heart has gets so expanded in so many ways, like paintball ways too, that you're like, Okay, I'm not going to stress about this because you've already gone through all this other stuff that you're like, I'm

not gonna worry about it unless it's huge. It just takes something big for him to, you know, get out of it. That's probably why he's been able to navigate this career too, because he didn't like freak out at every corner. He does it so gracefully. He does because there's some crazy people out there and people are mean. People can be so mean. I don't understand. Well, I think they said this at my church back in the day, cross a cross point. They're like, I don't know where

I heard it. I've heard it many times. And hurt people hurt people, you know, So if you're hurt, I believe that you want to hurt someone else or find a reason to be upset with someone or someone seems to be happy, you want to find any reason to tear him down. If you're hurting, Yeah, you know. Yeah, people just say like crazy things. How do you navigate

all that? Um, well, if he's hurt, I'm hurt, and he is human, and sometimes I just want to jump through the phone or wherever we're at where the negativity is, and be like what is wrong with you? Like you're an idiot. I'm sorry, like you, I have no problem saying it, and I have gone off on people like I have no shame in my kid? Does him? Hey don't. He doesn't care because he was off on him too. We're about like, oh, I'm about to eat them alive.

And then he has such great fans that they sometimes he doesn't even need to because the fans will take care of it. Yeah, and even me, like they've even been there for me at times, like when you get like some mean girl, like all of a sudden, it's just like put like all these comments start coming in like you need to back up and like, Okay, it's awesome, we love it, and I'm just like, wow, thank God for you people, like thank God for the good people in the world. In the majority of them are good.

It takes one bad apple to ruin a whole batch, so you know, and so that's what I have really started to realize navigating this lifestyle. And like, you know, I'm sure you're the same. It's most people really are good, Like Luke Bryan says, most people are good, but every now and then someone wants to come in and try to like throw there's some poison in the well. It's just like you can't even. You can't even. Yeah, it's

like a whole another world. I feel like on the internet because I swear, because half the time when you come back at them, they'll be like, oh, I'm so sorry. I didn't know you were going to respond, so then yeah, and then it's like, well, then why did you pose it. It's like sometimes I think they just respond something hateful so their comments stands out so they get a response. Yeah, and sometimes they do I guess, yeah, interesting, yeah, because

like they'll take attention in any way they can get it. Yeah. Yeah, and there's some clothes minded people out there. They're just like, man, no one's asking you to change the way that you live, so why are you so worried about it? You know what I mean? Like, no one's asking you to not eat me. Like, if I don't want to leave me alone,

I didn't tell you not to. And if I want to put a certain collar on my dog or feed them dog food, that was another thing, Like one time I got all this hate about the dog food and people are whatever about dogs, Like we take great care of our dogs, trust me, they get great food. Yeah, great trainers. And people just want to pick apart, like you shouldn't have that on your dog. Okay, well then don't put it on your dog. Sorry. You're like these

dogs like live if a great life. So I don't know what the issue is, but it's kind of just like, leave me alone. Yeah, And if you don't like the way I'm doing things, there is an unfollowed button, so please push it so I don't have to keep deleting your comment or coming at you because it's very exhausting. Yeah, just un follow me. No one asked you to follow me. I did not ask you to follow me. I don't need you to follow me. Leave me alone. How do

you deal with social media? Because like I was also talking to Hayley since she was right before we hit this topic, and she was like, you know, it's a great tool. It's a great way to express things that you want to express, and like if you want to use it to promote something positive or it's great or just to share your life, but then you have to figure out the boundary because it can be negative too, so have you especially with someone like you and Kine

who people are very interested in your lives? How do you navigate social media? We love social media. I've been lying to say that we didn't. We find it fun. It is and y'all have fun with it, like doing your videos and we we love like interacting with people and like I said, like his fans are awesome, So like it's fun for the most part, um other than like those few negative people out there, but we enjoy it. And um, I follow only Kane my Instagram that I

had years ago. You decided to do that. I didn't want to, Like, I don't know, I think it just gets too deep. It's like this is this is my person and this is who I'm following, and he follows me, and he follows like a few close friends or like who he's you know, gone out on tour with um. But when I get on Instagram, it's just like whatever I want to post, and I don't get caught up and seeing everything else. And I feel like it's envious of that really healthy for me because I'm not like

to check in on somebody. You can go pop over, yeah, like I'll check it with my friends, and honestly, it pops up on my explore page. Like my Explore page is like my family and my friends because my Instagram knows who I went and looked up. But it's it's just like so so much more clean. My Instagram is just like I get on and I'm like, oh you express yourself, express myself, and I get off. I have like major endy of that, Like I don't go on

Facebook anymore or do anything like that. I'm done with Facebook. Can I just go away? Facebook? Can it just go away? Yes? Yes, Kane says most of the hates on Facebook too, it is yeah, he was like, out of all other platforms, Facebook, and I feel like it's just because there's so many people on Facebook, and like there's so many always just like my grandparents are on Facebook. Yeah, so were mine. It's time to just en Facebook. It's too much, too

much like Instagram. So easy, Ye done, done, Facebook you can buy. There's too many things. I agree. You're so wise and like I'm telling you, like I'm obsessed with you. You were amazing, But now what I've talked to you like to be so young, and like just your perspective on stuff. You have such a clean as the world I want to think of. It's such a clean, clear, like lighthearted perspective on things, like you're real about it.

But then you're also just like I'm not gonna worry about stuff, Like you're just very you got a good perspective on everything. I just feel like when you get too many things going into your life, it just becomes dirty. Yeah, too much drama. Um, I've never been like a girl's girl. Like always hanging out with like a big group of

girls kind of intimidated me. I felt like maybe I wouldn't fit in because I was more of like a tomboy or hung out with my brothers and you know, like I just I don't know so moving to Nashville. I feel like there's lots of clicks too. How long have you been in Nashville? Uh? Three years? Okay, yeah, So tell me about your thoughts on it all, Like, yeah, have you found that people have been pretty Nashville? Yeah?

I love Nashville. Um. I feel like when I for has moved here, I was kind of like, oh my god, where do I fit in? Because it's overwhelming. It is it is, um, but I think it's an awesome city. I wish we were a little closer to a coast. That's my one that's my one request. I thought a little Inland, but um, I like Nashville. I think the people are really great. Um for what he's doing, I would much rather this is the city I would pick to live in rather than l A or New York

or Atlanta. School I could live in Atlanta, but Nashville is just a cool city. No one really bothers you and we can go do things here. Yeah. I like it. It's kind of just like super laid back when it has a lot going on. And the people, genuinely, I have found like, are really nice, like every time too. Everyone everyone's super nice and like a lot of people are just passionate and working on their own stuff and supportive and absolutely and all the wives are really cool,

really cool. They've just been so easy and they've been so welcoming. So that's awesome. Yeah, I love that. And okay, so tell me how your thron school. And on top of this, what do you stay? I am so ready to be done um music Business and management. Dang. Yeah. So after I left college to pursue music UM, and then me and Kane started dating, I was like, I need I want to finish my degree, especially now we have all these plaques on the wall of Kane. I'm like,

I'm gonna stick my diploma right in the center. It's gonna be like on the mantel, like Kin has all these words. I'm like, I'm gonna get one thing to hang on the wall, I swear, right in the center where everyone can see it. So yeah, I went back to school two years ago and I graduate. I'll be done in April. Heck yes, And I'm going to get a cap and gown and I'm going to fly to Boston because that's where my school's at. I'm going to walk like a regular student might be a little older

than them now, but good for you. You know, having moments like that are so important. I think it's like it's so good not just to dial it in and get your plumb in the mail, although anybody wants to do that. Go you, support you, But like, I'm all about making a moment a moment, Like if you do something, absolutely it's been a large part of your life and energy trying to make something happen, You've got to celebrate it. You know. I'm decorating that cap, putting sparkles all over

the top. I'm gonna put the year I was supposed to graduate on it, and then I want to have a graduation party, and I wanted to be college theme. I want kegs, beer pong and just party like it's what year was I supposed to graduate two thousand and I don't even know what year I was. I would have graduated two thousand and You're awesome. Yeah, heck yes, I'm gonna do it like I'm gonna do the full college thing. I know you will. Yeah, this is great. I think Kane has a show that night. We already

discussed this, so he's like I'm not missing it. He's like, I will be there and then I'll just leave right after. And I was like, you'd better be there. So because it was be in the day, I guess yeah, it would be in the morning, like probably eleven. It will last like two hours or so. So we'll go to that and I'll have my little moment to just feel accomplished. Heck, yes, yeah, I love that. You're a badass. Thanks, Carl. You really are like trying, but it's not fun and it's not

it's not easy to go back to school. Trust me. There's been so many times I'm like, why am I doing this? But the fact that you're just doing it and you're like, I'm committed, I'm gonna finish it. I'm gonna do this. Like I love that that you had a goal and you're like, I'm going to do it. You're gonna be so proud of yourself and so glad you did that. I know. Yes, right now it's like it sucks, yeah, right now sucks. Yeah, but I know that I'm going to feel like that when I'm done.

So that's the only part, like that's motivating me. And you're almost there, yeah, like almost there. A few more months, you can do it. You can do it. And then you'll just be like forever. Yes, to start my diploma marathon one time and I was like, for you trained for it, ran it, and I was like, I would never do it again. Every time I have a medal from it, yeah, and I'm like, it makes me feel so good. I did it, absolutely got to do the

whole process, and you could say you did that forever. Yeah. Yeah, I mean it's not the same thing, but it's like it's that kind of sense of accomplishment. I'm gonna set where you don't have to do it per se, but you just do it because you want to write and proved yourself that you can and it makes you a better person because absolutely, there's been so many times I'm like why am I doing this? Like I can find something else to do for sure. Which, by the way,

everyone get excited because you're gonna launching a podcast. Yeah, this is I'm announcing premature. Okay. I'm like, oh my god, I'm like, wait, are you gonna say I'm not accountable? Okay, Okay, so everyone listening this is you might be mad at me later, but I'm making you do it because you have so much wisdom and insight in your life is so interesting. I'm so glad you think. So you've got to do this podcast accountable. I think it'll be fun. I put it out there. Okay, I know you did.

You just did that. You just didn't don't tell me anything. I'm gonna I'm gonna get you in there because I want to listen. Oh my god, Yeah, it'll be fun. Yeah. Whatever you do though, no matter what, is going to be great because you're just awesome. You're so cool. I really thought you were so cool before I met you, but now after talking to you, I'm like, God, you're twenty six and you are so smart and so wise

and got your ship together so much. No, I don't feel like it those I swear I don't know you do. So glad you think that, because some days I'm just like, what am I doing? You're so nice, Like you have a sweet, sweet demeanor about you. Thank you your core. I can tell it is really sweet. You're set. I'm like, blessing, I'm getting hot over all these compliments. Okay, So I like to wrap up with leave your light, So leave some inspiration for people who listen to you. Follow you.

What do you want to tell people? Maybe just it can just be a simple piece of like life advice or wisdom that you want to share with people that you've learned, or how you want to encourage people. I would say, no dream is too big for starters, because I feel like a lot of people want to do something, but they just feel like that's just you know, so far fetch or such a dream, but it will never happen, it will. I mean, Kane could tell you that. I could tell you that, Um, you just have to say

true to it because you're gonna hit rocky roads. Yeah, hung up on the rocky road, right. Yeah? You never know. And and like you might think you have your life figured out and you're like, well, this is what it is, and the next day it completely changes, like completely left field. Um. And to just be happy, I would say, how if you're stressed out or you're having a moment where you're not and you're like ultimate peak happiness, how do you get yourself happy again? What are your go too? Um?

I just think about like the blessings I do have in life, and it's like what could I possibly complain about? You know what I mean, there's some people that are really going through it, and here I am all worked up about the smallest thing in the world. So I think about that it makes me feel better. Or have a glass of wine and go shopping. Let's get real. Are a little retail therapy. I don't never heard any So there's a couple of ways. I love that. Thank
