I used to drink too much.
Though most of the places where I used to show my ass, don’t exist anymore.
Nearly everyone you talk to is tryin to sell you a bill of goods… or just straight up lying to ya.
I once fell in love with a really good friend of mine…
I’m keenly aware of…
I dunno who decided to teach young girls that being skinny and photoshop-perfect is more important than being intelligent or talented or strong. But if I find out Imma kick em in the teeth.

I wouldn’t normally sing this song but we all may need this right now and there isn’t a better place to sing it at than the Ryman. The mother church pulls things out of you and will tell you what to sing and when to sing it...even if you can’t. Happy Easter, love to you all
Hey if you’re all up in your head this morning ... if you’re hurting or just kinda put out with yourself... don’t sweat it okay? Head up. Keep moving. We’re all messed up about something. Give yourself a break.

@carlypearce
remember that time we wrote us a song because we really really wanted to sing together?
And then it sent us on all kinds of adventures? And then we won a freaking GRAMMY?!
GAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

I'm stunned and humbled and just blown away. And I'm honored to be alongside artists I admire so much. When other girls my age were planning their dream weddings, I dreamt of a Grammy nomination. I don't even need to win. 5 year old me and teenage me are both satisfied as of now.
Y’all I spoke to Martina the other night and we’re both worn out about explaining that we aren’t related and we infact use different spellings... so we’re just gonna say we ARE related.
@martinamcbride
my new sister, I adore you.
First times only happen once.
I’ll always remember I was in Leeds, England when I got the news. I’ll always love that

and I got to ride this rocket of a song together.
Ehy- can’t we All just be happy and celebrate one another’s wins? Is it so bad to say “well done”? Without being butt-hurt over who got what ?
Is it really that hard ? Well done

winners. Well deserved.
BREAKING: Accused double murderer Michael D. Mosley just arrested in Cheatham County. Mosley will be booked later today on 2 counts of criminal homicide and 1 count of attempted criminal homicide for Saturday morning's stabbing of 3 men, 2 fatally.
Well sis, we did it. Our song gave us so many adventures together. Thank you CMA for recognizing “Never Wanted To Be That Girl.”
Carly, I’ve got your back. Love you.

However different my journey may be from yours, I hope if and when we cross paths we greet and encourage one another. Man, what a nice thought.

It’s your birthday. I don’t have nearly enough photos of us and I can’t change that anymore. The kind of sad that makes a person is one I wouldn’t wish on anyone.
Y’all, call your siblings and tell em you love em. Pretty please. Spread kindness. We miss you, brother.
People can say what they want about your choices.(and they sure will.)
But the fact is that no one can tell you you are wrong for following your heart.
Isolation update: Opie swallowed an ENTIRE chicken leg WHOLE last night.
He’s okay, don’t worry. It alllll came back up. In pieces. All over my house. He’s recovering now.
Dear sweet woman that gave me this bracelet on stage the other night, thank you so much! I’m sorry I couldn’t hear you well enough to get your name. I wear it proudly and with a happy heart. Thank you so much for this precious gift.

Ashley will receive the “Breakout Artist of the Year” award and she will perform live at this year’s
@CMT
Artists of the Year event! Tune in on Oct. 16 at 8 p.m. EST/PST. - Team Ashley
You ever wake up and just have that feeling of “ this is about to be really good.” For no particular reason? I LOVE it when that happens.
And I wish it on each of you. Right now.
Today is a historically tough day for me. And just as I thought I’d handled it with relative poise... a hero of mine called me and it made me cry with joy.
Well done Ma’am. Well done.
As 2018 draws to a close, I’m continuing the tradition of sharing my year-end lists. It gives me a moment to reflect on the year through the books, movies, and music that I found most thought-provoking, inspiring, or just plain loved. I hope you enjoy it:
Release a new single, go to mom’s for tea and muffins. I get a little emotional singing this one to my mom… in her kitchen.

That $2 bill I keep in my boot just went to a new home. My heart is sad in a way. But talking to this woman in the parking lot. I thought if anyone could use a little extra luck right now it’d be this lady. I don’t carry cash but I knew I had at least $2. (Cont)
Those of us who woke up a little grumpy for no reason...take a step back. Let’s try to get over ourselves this morning. Together. Find something beautiful about your morning and embrace it.

We gotta fight for every inch we get, Trybe. But I’ve never expected anything to be just handed to me. Didn’t. Don’t. Never will. Let’s dig IN. BIG LOVE!!!
I’m beside myself. Just beside myself. Thank you
@RecordingAcad
for recognizing our music with these nominations! If anyone needs me… I’ll be right here. Beside myself.
It was the honor of my career to play your guitar and sing one of your songs. Your inspiration will live on through all of us girls. We promise. Thank you for the guidance. And thank you for the music. Rest now Miss Loretta.
There is no better hype man than Jelly Roll. He never brings me on stage without reminding me of my accomplishments and sharing that with his fans. Who, by the way, are the finest fans you’ll encounter across any genre. He said I’d feel right at home and that rang true every…
It’s so easy to be cynical... for me anyway. I’m still working on responding with joy FIRST. And since I needed a reminder I thought someone else might too. Let’s work at it together.

I don’t know exactly what kind of hornet he was. But the creator saw fit to make me highly allergic to stingy things. Sooo as Jim Reeves used to say, “he’ll have to go”.
"She asked what I wanted to do when I grew up, and I said I wanted to write songs. She told me that was stupid, that wouldn't happen..."

below and listen to the album now:
The day that we recorded the song "Never Will," I told the guys that we were making a promise. We don't listen to the noise, we don't read the comments, we make cool music that we want to make and we hope you want to listen to.
Listen to the new album now:
When I have half a mind to break bad on someone / rip them a new orifice,I try to step back and say something uplifting or at least less toxic than my initial reaction.
So. Just be who you are. That on its own has so much more value than any ridiculous façade. Safe journey.
My sweet Momma came across this photo of her parents ... my “Meme and Papa”. If I can amount to half the humans they were, I’ll be in good shape. They were stern and kind and humble. And they were absolutely wonderful.
In 34 days I will prove all my naysayers wrong as I accept my Masters degree in Criminal Justice, WHILE in the hiring process for my dream job. Its been a long road to get to this point, but I can finally say...I made it!
