00:02 Everything okay. I'm so excited. Seeing my idols, you know, celebrating what is happening with the country music and having fun.
00:08 How is a country carpet or award show different from anything else that you've been to so far?
00:13 Oh, it feels different because, you know, I'm always running and I see everybody here is relaxed and just having, you know, talking with everybody, having a good time.
00:25 And I feel like the awards have to be like this, at least to celebrate what is happening with the music.
