Key Discussion Points and Insights

Nashville Beginnings and Hustle

• Moving to Nashville:
  • Priscilla moved at 17 from North Carolina with $50, Craigslist roommates, and little idea of what to expect.
    • “I moved to Nashville...just this fearless young girl that I—I had this dream. I knew I was meant to do it.” (Priscilla, 03:19)
  • Early struggles included getting robbed her first weekend and working odd jobs (cleaning Airbnbs, etc.) to make ends meet.
• Breaking In:
  • Priscilla hustled on the Nashville bar scene with a fake ID to meet songwriters and industry people, forging relationships at writer’s rounds and building her band.

Viral Moment and Fan Support

• Rise on TikTok:
  • In 2020, after being evicted and unable to play bars during the pandemic, Priscilla posted “Just About Over You” on TikTok—which blew up overnight.
    • “I don’t want to say that I’m the first country artist to really take off on TikTok, but I was very early.” (Priscilla, 09:05)
  • Fans crowdfunded the song’s professional recording, changing her life and leading to her record deal.
    • “I literally like almost cry talking about it because it just showed me, like, how good people are, you know what I mean?” (Priscilla, 09:39)
• Negotiating the Industry:
  • After going viral, she took her time choosing a label and ultimately signed with MCA, prioritizing those who believed in her beyond one song.

Body Image, Insecurity, and Fan Connect

• Navigating Body Image and Trolls:
  • Priscilla discusses how she grappled with not “fitting into the box” of typical country artists and the impact of online hate.
  • Songs like “Thick Thighs,” “Peaked in High School,” and the new single “Couldn’t Care Less” tackle body image and online criticism head-on.
    • “There was a time in my life before I wrote Just About Over You...I started getting insecure and feeling like I didn’t fit into this box of, like, maybe what country music wanted.” (Priscilla, 16:10)
    • “I posted a picture and it got a bunch of likes / That ‘She should lose weight’ comment kept me up all night.” (“Couldn’t Care Less” lyric, 19:02)
  • The overwhelming support from fans helps her “stay real” and confident despite the hate.
    • “I feel very secure—a huge part of that literally comes down to my fans of being like, we vibe with you, don't change anything.” (Priscilla, 16:54)

Writing Process & New Album

• Album Genesis:
  • The album “Things You Didn’t See” is about sharing unseen parts of her journey—from Craigslist roommates to dumpster-diving to pay rent, heartbreaks, struggles, and perseverance.
  • “There’s a lot of my life that people haven’t seen. This record was my chance to show people.” (Priscilla, 22:56)
• Hardest Song to Write:
  • “Couldn’t Care Less” was the hardest due to confronting vulnerabilities, closely followed by “Time Ain’t a Two Lane,” a track about loss and regret, inspired by the death of a friend’s sister.
    • “Time’s not a two lane. You can’t go back and forth—once it’s done, it’s over.” (Priscilla, 37:12)
• Private vs. Public Life:
  • Despite her openness, Priscilla intentionally keeps parts of her family and romantic relationships private for her own sense of home and grounding.

Career, Team, and Female Empowerment

• Touring and Collaborations:
  • Headlining her first Ryman show in Nashville, going to Europe, and previously touring with the likes of Shania Twain, Ashley McBryde, and others.
  • Dream collaboration/tour: Morgan Wallen, inspired by a viral TikTok video of her singing his song.
• Support System:
  • Priscilla’s “girl squad team” is made up of strong, confident women, including best friend and manager Kara.
    • “I thrive with girls. I really do. And I have, like, the best team ever.” (Priscilla, 29:43)
• Addressing Jealousy in Industry:
  • Acknowledges some think she “lucked out” but asserts the grind and merit behind her success.
    • “I got the receipts. I moved to Nashville at 17 with 50 bucks to my name. I played every single bar...” (Priscilla, 33:44)

Life, Loss, and Living Without Regrets

• Loss and Healing:
  • “Time Ain’t a Two Lane” focuses on the pain of irreversible loss, regret, and the importance of reaching out while you can.
  • Savannah shares about losing her ex-fiancé, underlining the emotional truths in Priscilla’s music.
• Biggest Takeaway:
  • The reality of time and death should push us to connect more, forgive quickly, and avoid regrets.
    • “I just don’t—I’m at a point where I don’t want any regrets anymore, you know?” (Priscilla, 39:24)

[A]

And I know it's crazy. We're not on the golf course today.

[B]

Like this is great.

[A]

We actually, you know, we're really done up. Yeah. Last time I saw you, we were golfing for a charity event.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

And here we are.

[B]

I know. That was, that was honestly really fun. Then we got rained out. You remember it started downpour and I was just like. And I don't know, white. I had on all white.

[A]

I have lived in Nashville for 11 years.

[B]

That is. Okay. When did you move? I think I'm on that same.

[A]

I moved in 2014.

[B]

Okay. No, I've. I was. 2016, I think.

[A]

Okay. Well, so you've been here for a little while.

[B]

Yeah. And I'm just shocked that we haven't run into each other sooner.

[A]

No, I know. Because I really feel like we would maybe be some trouble if we hit the town one night.

[B]

That would.

[A]

It kind of needs to happen.

[B]

Oh, it needs to happen. It's going to happen.

[A]

I just can't believe it hasn't happened sooner.

[B]

But because we Run in some of the same circles, which is crazy. But that's also Nashville. Like, big city, small town. It's insane.

[A]

Everyone knows everybody.

[B]

Everyone knows everyone, which I love and hate. Hate a lot of times. It's, like, such an incestual town, too. And, like. Oh, my gosh, it's. Yeah, it's a crazy town. So you. You moved to Nashville, and did you move here knowing, like, music was what you were going to do?

[A]

Yeah. I mean, I knew that I wanted to do this since I wrote my first song at 15. I started writing, and then I moved to Nashville. I was 17 years old, and I moved out here, literally, with, like, 50 bucks to my name.

[B]

Stop. And where are you from?

[A]

I'm from North Carolina.

[B]

Okay. North Carolina. Moved here. What? So you came here. Did you have any, like, music affiliations or. You just came here with a dream and was like, I'm gonna make it.

[A]

I just came here with a dream. I mean, seriously, like, it's wild, like, looking back. I mean, I moved to Nashville. Just this fear, like, just fearless young girl that I. I had this dream. I knew I was meant to do it. I graduated high school early. I came out here. I didn't know anyone. When I moved to Nashville and my parents dropped me off, I had some Craigslist roommates.

[B]

You are lying.

[A]

Drop me off at this house. And it. It was that I didn't know where to go, where to start, but I was going to figure it out, so.

[B]

Okay, wait. Craigslist roommates?

[A]

Oh, yeah, girl.

[B]

And how was that experience?

[A]

Well, I did get robbed my first weekend, but.

[B]

Hey, stop.

[A]

It's okay. Yes. I remember. I called my parents, and I was like, it was my first weekend in Nashville. I'm like, hey, my house got broken into tonight. My dad's like, I knew that place was a dump. And then my mom's like, brett, be quiet. It's all she can afford. But, yeah, it's. It's been a journey. I've definitely. I've lived in some crazy places, but it's. It literally, it's what makes me me, and it makes all of this just, like, so much sweeter.

[B]

Yeah. You know, that is insane. Craigslist roommate.

[A]

Craigslist roommate.

[B]

Have you not seen, like, the Craigslist Killer or.

[A]

Oh, yeah, yeah. No, no, no. Like, I. Yeah, yeah, it was. There were some sketchy times, but.

[B]

Are you still friends with them?

[A]

No, I don't even. I kind of forgot their names. I've had a couple Craigslist roommates.

[B]

How does one think that's a good idea. I'm just asking for a friend.

[A]

Well, I don't know. I was young. I'm like, how do I meet people to live with? I'm not in college. I'm not. I don't have friends out there yet. So I just was on Craigslist and I'm like, guys, I need a roommate. And fortunately, they. They were okay, so stop.

[B]

Oh, I've never. There's a first for everything. That's the first time I've ever heard of that. So you went from Craigslist roommates. And then at that point where you were still writing music, were you playing in bar? Like, what were you. How did you get your music career going at that point?

[A]

Yeah, so, I mean, I was just doing whatever I could to, like, meet people. I would go to Demumbrian. I had a fake id. I would go in, like, go south. Do what? Oh, south. Oh, my vibe. Like, we had to have been south at one point.

[B]

We had to have been 100. Like 100. That is hilarious.

[A]

So, yeah, I mean, I had a fake id, so that's why. Where I would, like, go and, you know, try and meet songwriters, like industry people.

[B]

Oh, that's where they all used to hang out.

[A]

Oh, yeah. All of Demumbrian Midtown. And I. I was just like, okay. Like, I knew coming to Nashville, it was going to be hard. So it wasn't like I was in some fairy tale world of being like, I'm just going to, like, blow up overnight. And like, you know, I knew it was going to be hard. And so I would go to writers rounds. I would write down notes about, like, songs that I heard and, like, remember, like, when they're going to play next. And I would come back and I'd be like, I saw you last week. And like, I heard this song, whatever. I'm like, I'm Priscilla. I'm a new songwriter. And I was just like, putting myself out there and working any odd in job I could to pay my bills. And I started playing around town, building my band. My roommate, Sarah Jones, she. Our brothers were friends in high school, and her brother was like, hey, my sister's moving to Nashville and she's. She's going to be writing songs, like. And I was like, does she need a roommate?

[B]

Does she need a roommate?

[A]

Does she need a roommate? Don't do what I did. And so we lived together and we just started writing songs, like, in an empty apartment. And, you know, so I start slowly started building my band. She's still in my band.

[B]

Wow. That's awesome.

[A]

Yeah. But it was really just like, step by step. And then 2020 was when everything changed for me during the pandemic.

[B]

So what was the moment? What was the big moment that you were like, oh, my gosh. I'm like, not on the struggle bus anymore.

[A]

I mean, you know, sometimes I feel like we're still on the struggle bus. It just depends on. It is.

[B]

It's like you could have a number today, and then tomorrow it's like someone else takes out. You know, it's like you just don't.

[A]

It's. It's a high. Highs and lows. But the moment that I realized, like, whoa, this is happening back in 2020. So I just got evicted out of my apartment.

[B]

Stop. Also, too. You're fully independent?

[A]

No.

[B]

Correct.

[A]

I am signed. I'm signed to mca.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

At this current time, I was independent.

[B]

Yes. Yes.

[A]

And it. Anyway, I had just gotten evicted out of my apartment, and one month later, I move into this little shack in Nashville. And TikTok was this brand new app. I literally thought it was a dancing app. Like, I'm impersonating the Kardashians. Like, no one knew really what it was. And I started putting my music on there, and I was getting, like, a big response. And this was the time all the bars were shut down. I wasn't able to play in the bars.

[B]

It was. That was brutal. I would say that was so heartbreaking to see in Nashville. Like, all the musicians that made their money, they lived month to month, week to week, and everything was stopped.

[A]

I was doing that, and I was cleaning Airbnbs. And also, no one was traveling. So I end up moving out of my apartment one month later. I write just about over you and Which I love. Thank you. I swear to you, that moment I posted it online. It went very viral, especially at the time.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

You know, there wasn't. I was really like, I don't want to say that I'm the first country artist to really take off on TikTok, but I. I was very early.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

And so it was very weird to the industry at the time because they were like, who is this girl? What is this app? And, like, is this real? And so just about over you blows up. There's this girl out in California who basically has, like, a call to action and is like, we hear we're gonna all come together and help Priscilla record this song. So I had fans all over the world.

[B]

That's crazy.

[A]

Come together. And, like, no one knew that, like, I had nothing to my name. Like, I had just gotten a. I literally like almost cry talking about it because it, it just showed me like how good people are, you know what I mean?

[B]

That's what I say. In a world that's so harsh and a world that like, I literally had this conversation yesterday with someone of like how you hear right now people saying like how terrible social media is and this and that and all the hate filled stuff. But then you see something and you're like, okay, this is really why social media is here. When you see the positivity and the love and the just creativeness and as bad as it is, it's that much good.

[A]

Yeah. So fans all came together and they funded just about over you. I went into the studio, it was very quick. I felt like something in my heart, like I was like, I don't know what this moment is, but I feel like it's going to be really big. And I was just holding on to a prayer and the support of so many people and I released that song and that was the day that my life changed. I was getting called from every single record label in town. LA, NY, we'll fly you here. Like, can you just take a meeting? And it was just a crazy time because again, Tik Tok is this brand new thing.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

I'm like sitting at the top of the itunes charts next to Nicki Minaj and Harry Stockton aisles and people are like, who is this girl?

[B]

Like, that is amazing.

[A]

Whose dad paid for this slot? I'm like, not mine. Love you, dad. But like it was just crazy and, and it, it happened in such an authentic, organic way. But that was really the moment that I was like, okay, things are about to start happening.

[B]

Holy cow. I did not know that like fans helped you record that song. Yeah, that's insane. And so when all these record labels are reaching out to you, what was your next step? Like, did you meet with all of them or did you know, this is who I want to be with or how did that happen?

[A]

I, I was all, I feel like I've always had a pretty good like head on my shoulders and like I really wanted to take my time with it.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And you know, a lot of people walk into a record deal like begging for a record deal and just somebody to take a chance on them. And I, and I, I'm thankful, I'm so thankful that it happened the way that it did because I did walk in with a lot of leverage of being like, the fans are here.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

You know, like you've built this on your brand. Is here, you know, like. And so I just wanted to make sure wherever I signed they didn't just see potential in one moment. And you know, going with, with mca, it was the first meeting that they were like, we don't want to hear about just about over you. What else do you have? And it was like, okay, they're invested in my career and like that's what I want. I don't want to be a freaking, what is it? One flash in the paint. Yeah, one hit wonder. Like I want to have a, a career. And so it was, it was a process and a really crazy time because I'm just this young girl like, you know, and you don't want to make a bad decision that you're, it's just there's, it was a lot.

In the music industry. I mean, in life in general, I think in any industry. But I feel like I've just seen it with so many friends of, like, it's just. It's a tough industry to be in.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And so now that you know, 2020 happened just about over you. You signed with the record label. I know. I felt like, from the outside looking in because obviously, like, I didn't know you, and looking at your social media and, like, how you viewed yourself and how you perceived yourself and the hateful comments that would come to people. You've talked about this before, and you have a song that kind of nods at it, that talks about, like, wait, and I would see comments, and I'm just like, really? Like, what? How can people say stuff like that? Can you talk about that journey?

[A]

You know, it's interesting. There was a time in my life before I wrote Just about Over your. I. I started getting insecure and feeling like I didn't fit into this box of, like, maybe what country music wanted. And that I think insecurity. That's just being human.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And when I wrote Thick Thighs, it was the first time that I felt like I.

[B]

Which is hilarious.

[A]

Thank you.

[B]

So, like, I. I remember being in, like, middle school and. Or, like, going into high school and. And my nickname for, like, a group of guys would be Thunder thighs.

[A]

Oh, girl.

[B]

And I, like, that is so hateful. Freaking, that song. I was like, okay, I love this.

[A]

Well, I wrote that song. And the response that I got from fans was unbelievable. And it made me, like. I feel like the reason why I feel very secure. Like, a huge part of that literally comes down to my fans of being like, we vibe with you don't change anything. And so it's like, sometimes I do read those comments or I was reading those comments, and, like, obviously I'm human. You know, it sucks reading some of that. But, like, the, like, overwhelming amount of, like, support and people, like, raising their hands for me, I honestly, I was just like, okay, like, let them talk lives, baby. And I think it was different, you know, expect, like, especially in country. Like, I hadn't heard a song like that.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And it's inspired me to stay. Like, I feel like we're very similar.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

On being, like, we. You know, we're very bold. We kind of say how we feel.

[B]

All the time, and people can love it or hate it.

[A]

Yeah. And I think that after really writing that song and. And as career has taken off, it's. It's really important for me to just, like, stay real with where I'm at.

[B]

Well, didn't you write. Isn't there, like, a newer song, though, to where you talk about. Is it, like, a relationship you were in? And, like, you say there's, like, a lyric about someone, like, calling you fat or something. Oh, peaked in high school, maybe that freshman year.

[A]

You called me fat at the pool.

[B]

No. But isn't there another one? Isn't there a new one on your. Like, that you've played on your social media?

[A]

Yes. It's Couldn't Care Less.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

Couldn't Care Less.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

That I say. I think I say fat a couple times in my songs. I'm actually really proud of it. You know, I'm like.

[B]

Which you're not. No.

[A]

Well, you know, I. Yes. Couldn't Care Less is a song that I just released, which. It's on my album.

[B]

I love it. Which has now come out. Yeah. So by the time people listen to this, the album is out. And what's the title of the album?

[A]

The album is called Things yous Didn't See.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

And there is a line in Couldn't Care Less that says, I posted a picture and it got a bunch of likes that she should lose weight comment kept me up all night. And that song is just about.

[B]

And so many people can relate to that. Yeah. In today's day and age.

[A]

And even though I might be, you know, have a big personality, and I. I feel like I am most of the times pretty confident, that doesn't mean that I don't have days where I'm like, this comment actually hurts me a lot more than it would have yesterday.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

You know, and. And I think it's just. It comes back down to being human. And with my music, like, I Just, I want to keep it real. And writing that song was like therapy that I didn't even know I needed, you know, of. Of feeling misunderstood, of this girl that just couldn't care less. And I'm like, y'. All, Like, I care a lot.

[B]

Well, yeah, because you kind of. Especially in this world, you kind of fool yourself into being like, oh, I don't care. Whatever. It's just someone behind a keyboard or they don't impact my life or. But if you're having a hard day and you're feeling insecure and you see those comments, you're like, okay. They're actually dusting. Yeah. Like, you try to act like you don't care, but in reality, you do. And it's okay to care.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And it's okay to acknowledge it, but I think that's really hard for people.

[A]

Yeah, it is. It's the response that I've gotten to. Couldn't care less. You know, obviously, I wrote that about my life, but the way that, like, people have been like, dude, I relate so much to that song.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

Every part of it. It's like, you know, whether, you know, you're just busy and you're a single mom just trying to hold it together. And, you know, I've seen, like, so many people share their story on that, and you have to be there for your kids all the time. And then you're like, people just. The kids are like, mom, you don't care. And you're like, I care. It's. You know, I think we can all relate to that moment, you know, in life where you're just like, damn. Like, you know, I. It's hard right now.

[B]

Life is hard.

[A]

Life is hard.

[B]

I say, like, life sucks. You just have to figure out how to deal with the sucks. Sometimes you do, you know, like, you do.

[A]

And most of the time, I can be like, I don't care. Like, I. Most of the time, to have thick skin, you have to almost be like, yeah, I don't care. Like, I don't. I'm not reading your comments. I don't care.

[B]

Exactly.

[A]

But some days just. It's a little harder.

[B]

So what would you say? Obviously, that song is on the album, but what inspired this album?

[A]

Oh, my goodness. Well, so my album was going to come out last year. It was done. I had the. The title, everything, and I got listening to the song, like, through to the. The record, and I didn't know what was missing. I'm like, what is it? Like, it was vibes, you know, and I'm like, My life, my story, my heart. And so I pumped the brakes on the record and that's when I wrote couldn't care Less. And. And then I was kind of listening through to some old songs that I had and Things you didn't see is the title track, and it's about my story. And it's about moving to Nashville at 17 with 50 bucks to my name. It's about having the Craigslist roommate. It's about dumpster diving in Nashville to sell crap on Craigslist to pay my rent.

[B]

Stop.

[A]

It's about, it's. It's the story that makes me who I am. And I felt like this record was my chance to share my story with the world. You know, if whatever, you know, people maybe see, now is my time to be like, this is where I come from. This is how I feel. And so, yeah, things you didn't see really shape this record. And I. It's so ironic too, for a girl that's like, I put everything out there. I honestly probably over share.

[B]

Oh, people say that about me all the time. Like, my parents be like, you know, you could have not said that.

[A]

I know. My manager's like, priscilla, can you not. I'm like, I know, it's whatever.

[B]

Just, it came out, it is whatever.

[A]

And. But there is a lot. There's a. There's a lot of my life that people haven't seen. And so this record was my chance to show people. And I. I think listening through to it, there's parts that you're like, oh, she came from this kind of a family. She has insecurities too. Oh, there's a whole love side of her life that she really hasn't shared.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

What about that? Yeah, I think listening to the record, it kind of just ties up the boat, like where people can just dig in deeper and like, really get to know me. All parts of me, the chaos.

[B]

Well, it's funny though, because you're right. Like people view you as this, like high energy, fun, like, don't give an F about any, you know. Yeah. But then it's like your private life in today's day and age, everyone just like puts it out there. You haven't done that.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And what's your reasoning for that?

[A]

Well, I feel like kind of just back to what we were saying. Like, I feel like I share most of my life with people, but there are certain things that feel like home.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And I. I am non stop. I mean, I barely have time to wash my underwear. Okay. I went to Walmart last week and bought a 12 pack of underwear. OK. That's where I'm at right now.

[B]

I went to Walmart.

[A]

I went to Walmart. Yeah, that's just where we're at. Some towns you go to, they only have a Walmart, you know, but my life is really busy and you're pulled in so many different directions. And my family and, you know, my relationship and there's just certain parts of my life that I feel like are mine, you know, and everything doesn't have to be everyone's.

[B]

No, that. Well, when you live in a world to where nothing is yours. Yeah. It feels so empowering to have something that is yours.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And so do you feel that pressure of, like, all right, get married, kids that, like, a lot of women do feel in today's day and age, or is that not something that you feel?

[A]

No, I don't feel it at all.

[B]

Why do you think that is?

[A]

I think it's being with the person that I'm with. Yeah, it's like, there's no. He's like, priscilla, whenever you want to get married, we can get married whenever. Like, it's not. It's like you do you.

[B]

Yeah, go.

[A]

If this is your dream right now, you go do it and I'll be there to hold your hand the whole way through. And so, like, that's nice of like, you know, like, I mean, you've dated other people and all of that, and sometimes you're with somebody that the pressure is on from them.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

And I'm like, I got to do okay now. That being said, I can't wait to have kids and get married and do all the things. But, like, right now I am, like, so heavy, heavily focused on my career.

[B]

And that's. And that's something, too, that is so important. It's so important to point out, because a lot of women feel like they can't do both.

[A]

Yes. So there's another side to that. There's the pressure side of, like, we should do this. And then there's another scary side of like, oh, my gosh, can I not get married? Can I not, you know.

[B]

Yes. That a lot of people feel, without a doubt, especially to, like. I mean, I'm only. I mean, I'm 28, but, like, the closer I get to 30, I'm like, oh, my God.

[A]

It is kind of crazy. Crazy.

[B]

Yeah. I'm like, getting married, having kids, this that I'm like, you do. It's a weird. I don't know if it's like a biological thing, but it's like, when you get close to certain ages, you feel certain things.

[A]

Yeah. And I don't know if you're the same way, but, like, when I was younger, like, I was the girl scrapbooking my wedding.

[B]

Oh, yes.

[A]

Like, I had everything. Like, I was like, okay, I think I'm gonna be married by 20, 23.

[B]

And I do have a kid by then. I like all of it. And now I look back and I laugh, and I'm like, oh, my God, if I would have had a kid, it. 22, 23 years old. Oh, my gosh. Miserable.

[A]

It's so. Yes. I think sometimes, like, as I'm, like, getting older, I'm like, oh, damn. Like, I thought I would have been married, had kids by now, but think.

[B]

We'Re gonna wait on that one especially, too. Because you're, like, you said your career has just. Just taken off. Yeah. And so who have. Like, are. Do you have a tour coming up? Are you going on the road with anyone?

[A]

Yes. So we. My tour. Things you didn't see has started, and we just announced a bunch of other dates. I'm really excited. I'm headlining the Ryman in Nashville.

[B]

Stop. When?

[A]

In March. So y' all are gonna have to come.

[B]

I'll be there.

[A]

I am so excited. So we're doing the Ryman. I'm doing Billy Bob's in. In Texas, which I. I love. Yeah. It's so. This tour, it's exciting. I mean, this record, I really challenged myself to, like, sonically, creatively, visually, like, all the things for it to be different and feel like I'm giving the fans something new. And that's. This tour has been, like, so fun creating and just really. It ties into the things people haven't seen. And it's like, it's a full new show, and it's been really, really awesome. So I'm so excited for. We're going to Europe.

[B]

Stop. Oh, I did see that. You posted that the other day, I think.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

That is so exciting to do a tour out there.

[A]

Yeah. I'm just, like, grinding, baby.

[B]

Have you been yet?

[A]

Yes.

[B]

To Europe?

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Oh, my gosh. Like, I love it.

[A]

It's amazing. So, so fun. So right now I'm just like, we're running hard. Good for trying to take over the world. Okay. In Jesus name, amen.

[B]

I also love that, like, your whole team that's here is all female.

[A]

Oh, I know. I have the girl squad.

[B]

So can. Is there a reason you felt like that needed to happen, or did it just fall into place that way?

[A]

It Kind of just fell into place. I mean, my best friend, Kara, she. When. When my life really started changing, I really needed a friend, like, through. Through it all. And I was like, I'm getting pulled, like, everywhere. And I. I just. And she was like, priscilla, I'm gonna come to Nashville. What can I help you with? And so earlier on, she was like, I. Like, I don't even. I don't have to have a job with you. Like, however I can help you in your life, I'm here. And so I hired her. She was, like, one of the first people that I hired on my team. I was like, girl, we are making it. I can pay you some money because we're making it. There was something. There was a time that me and her would just, like, put our own dollar bills, and, like, whoever had the most amount of money paid the rent. Like, but, you know, I. I thrive with girls. Like, I really do. And I have, like, the best team ever of just, like, strong, confident, like, go get our girls. And it's so funny because whenever we're on the road with anybody else, they're like, oh, we know that Priscilla brings the girl squad. I mean, we just roll in deep.

[B]

That is hilarious.

[A]

It's really fun and something that I'm really proud of.

[B]

I love that. That is. When I walked in and, like, saw the women, I was. And you were like, this is the girl squad. Okay. This is phenomenal. I love it.

[A]

Y.

[B]

So who in country music would you say is, like, your dream tour?

[A]

Ooh. I mean, I would. I would love to be out on the road with Morgan Wallen.

[B]

Okay. Yeah. That. His shows.

[A]

Insane.

[B]

Absolutely insane. I've seen him, like, three different times, one being at Fenway Park.

[A]

Oh, wow.

[B]

It was absolutely insane.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Best show ever.

[A]

Yeah. I mean, he's. I just.

[B]

I don't know what he's done is absolutely insane.

[A]

Yeah. I've been a fan, I mean, for so long, and honestly, one of my first videos that ever popped off on Tick Tock was me in my kitchen with a NASCAR T shirt on, drinking a bottle of red wine, singing Whiskey Glasses. Stop by Morgan Wallen. Yes. And that is how my manager actually found me. He, like, messaged me. He's like, hey, I saw this video. I don't know if you have a manager. And I was like, did you see it? And you were like, I want to sign up for this train wreck because it's really confusing. The NASCAR T shirt, the red wine, then singing Morgan Wallen songs. It's great.

[B]

That is amazing. So Is that still your manager?

[A]

Yeah. Yeah.

[B]

Holy cow.

[A]

Yeah, he's awesome. But no, I mean, I would love. There's so many people I would love to tour with, and. And we've gotten to be on the road with people that I'm like, I grew up listening to you. I've been such a fan.

[B]

What was your first. Who was the first artist that you, like, opened for that you were like, holy cow.

[A]

There's. There's so many. I'll never forget getting the offer to go out with Shania Twain.

[B]

That's crazy.

[A]

Like, that was, like, a moment. And again, like, every artist that I've opened up for has been amazing and unbelievable, but, like, Shania Twain, like, that was like a different. Like, whoa. Like, how did she find me? Like, you know, I grew up listening to her.

[B]

Was that your first big opener?

[A]

My first opening tour. Like, the first support slot that I had was out with Ashley McBride.

[B]

Oh, she is insanely talented.

[A]

Yeah. And so we did that. That was great. And that was, like, super early. We've been out with John Party. We did a little bit with Dirks Bentley. I'm out on. Just finished out on the road with Cole Swindell.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

He was great. I mean, there's been quite. Quite a few people that have just been awesome.

[B]

That's amazing. I like John Party. Oh, My Saturday Night, his latest album, I was, like, obsessed with.

[A]

Yeah, he's. He's been really great. I mean, he's on my label, and there's just been some artists that have really, like, wave like, risen their hand for me. And then, like, Priscilla, like, whatever you need. Like, how can we help?

[B]

That's amazing. That's. What's so great about this town is you do have some really awesome people who are so willing to help and be there for you. Yeah. Like, but at the same time, then you also have people who, when you get too close to their territory, they're like, yeah, goodbye. Have you dealt with, like, the jealousy or people seeing you come up and that fear they have and the cattiness?

[A]

And, you know, I. I feel like we all. I try to understand, like, everyone's. We all got different journeys. You know what I mean? But there was a time where I did kind of feel like people thought, like, I lucked out on Tick Tock.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

You know, and. And, like, oh, she's just the girl that, like, blew up online, and I'm like, hold the hell on. I got the receipts. I got the receipts. I moved to Nashville at 17 with 50 bucks to my name. I've played every single bar I built my band. I've been writing songs. I've been like, blood, sweat and tears in this for a really long time. So, like, that was really just like, the only moment where I kind of felt like there was, like. And it was. It. It was. It really just opened up the floor for me to share my story with people.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

You know, people don't realize.

[B]

People don't realize how tough it was to get to where you're at.

[A]

Yeah. Like. Like, hold on. Like, I didn't come out here just, like, on someone else's dime. Like, I. I really, really did this thing, and so I'm thankful for it. And anyone that, like, is like, oh, like, you're that girl. You're the TikTok girl. I'm like, you know what? Yes, I am.

[B]

Yes, I am. Like, yes, I am. I'm whatever you want to call me.

[A]

Yeah. Like, and it's. It's opened, you know, the floor for me to share my story. But, yeah, there's. I think there's always. It's the world we live in. There's always going to be some sort of jealousy. There's always going to be, you know, moments that, you know, are hard, but I really just try to, like, put my head down and just go.

[B]

Yeah. Because if you get kind of engulfed in the chaos of the town, you know, it's hard to stay focused on what you need to be focused on.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So what. On this new album, what would you say was the hardest song to. To write, write, or acknowledge that, like, okay, this was my life.

[A]

Oh, my gosh. I. I really think it was. Probably couldn't care less.

[B]

Really.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And why.

[A]

I think there was a moment, you know, that I. I felt like people, you know, weren't really getting it, you know, especially, like, kind of just, like, the industry side of it. Like, I felt like, again, kind of back to what we were talking about. Like, I feel like I've been known to, like, be this, like, big, loud personality girl that. Whatever. And so writing that song, you know, I. I just felt like it was kind of. It was hard for me. I don't know why. I just. It was the first time that I really kind of, like, started feeling, like, insecure about, like, where I. Where my place was in country, you know, and so that song was pretty hard to write, but also really easy because it was just, like, it was the way.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

But I also wrote a song. It's that. The last. The last song on the record. It's Called Time Ain't a Two Lane. And it's tough. Like, if you listen to it, you're gonna cry. You're gonna cry. It's.

[B]

What's the backstory?

[A]

So I. We actually. It's the only demo on the album. And the reason why I kept that song, just as the demo is there was so much emotion the day that we wrote it. And I. I happened to write it about one of my. One of my really good friends tragically lost his sister. And I had gone into the right. And I had timing of Two Lane in my phone, and I thought it would be this breakup song about how you can't go back. And his story was like. It was really fresh. And so I went into the room and we were talking about the idea, and I just started crying, and I was like, I can't even imagine what he's going through. And, you know, the song's about losing somebody you love and how time, like, Time's not a two lane. You can't go back and forth, like, once. Once it's done, it's over, you know, so that song.

[B]

I'm gonna be sobbing when I hear that.

[A]

Oh, my gosh. That song, like, really wrecks me. And. And, you know, it. Also, this past year, I lost my publisher, Ben Vaughn, and that song was one of. One of those that I wrote, actually, during a Warner Chapel writing camp. And so it was one of those that just kind of sat in my phone. And after we lost him, I just. It's. We've all experienced loss in our life, and it was important for me to put it on this record. And I hope that, like, when people listen to this song, like, they find some healing in it.

[B]

I'm. Yeah, I'm gonna be. Because we're. It's next week will be two years since my ex fiance died in a motorcycle accident. So I'm like, when I hear this song, I know I'm gonna be just like a nervous wreck. I'm just gonna be sobbing.

[A]

I'm so sorry.

[B]

Hey, life has a way of wrecking you. But also, it makes sense at some point.

[A]

It's so crazy because it's the only guarantee. My mom always tells me this. She's like, death is the only guaranteed that we have in this life. It's the only guaranteed is, you know, that you're gonna die at some point, but every time it happens, no one's prepared for it. And, you know, with that song, I hope it just inspires you to, you.

[B]

Know, because what is. What's the main Takeaway from that.

[A]

It's. It's about, you know, I should have done all this. I wish I could have. And hopefully you listen to it, and you're like, you know what? I am gonna call. I. I am gonna call. I know we've been talking about that camping trip, but we're gonna do it. You know, we're not waiting because this year is gonna get busy, but we're gonna do it.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

And so, yeah, I love that, because.

[B]

There'S so many times where you say, I should have, could have.

[A]

I should have, could have, would have.

[B]

Yes. And life. You're not guaranteed literally, like, it. That is so. I feel like so many people need to hear that.

[A]

I'm like, also, you know, I've just been on like, a whole, like, mind, body, soul journey, and I feel like lately, anytime, like, I think of somebody, like, I might not have time for, like, a full phone call or whatever, but I just try to send a text.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

You know, Like, I just don't. I'm at a point where I don't want any regrets anymore, you know?

[B]

Well, I say, even just, like, at the coffee shop, saying hello to someone or, how's your day? That could be the nicest thing they've heard all week. Like, it's something so simple that could make an impact on someone's life. And unfortunately, we're. A lot of times we're all too busy or too selfish or to even do that. And it really puts things into perspective. Like, I should have done X, Y, and Z, and I'm currently in that place. It's hard because, like, even with people in your life, it's like, all right. Even if they do you wrong, even if they don't show up for you, even you want to fight back. But then you have something.

[A]

Is it even worth it?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Like, you're like, all right. You're always told, be the bigger person. And then, like, the older I got, I was like, you know what? I am tired of being the bigger person. This shit is exhausting.

[A]

I'm exhausted.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

I'm exhausted.

[B]

But now, when you hear experiences like this and you go through stuff, you're like, you know what? What does it really cost you to be the bigger person? Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. Sorry's, like, the easiest thing, you know? Sometimes it's so damn hard, but it's like, it is. At the end of the day, you're like, okay, I'm sorry. Let's move on. Let's, you know.

[B]

Yes. Okay. So where can people find you? Where can they find your album.

[A]

Y' all can find my album everywhere. Just search Priscilla Block. It's called things you didn't see. It's out now. I'm so excited for this record.

[B]

I. I'm so excited. Like, so excited. Thank you. I'm just blessed and honored to know you and to have had you on the podcast. I'm so excited for this record and you're gonna do huge things. I just know it.
