00:00How are you doing?
00:00When I tell you, we have heard your name so many times.
00:04Like every single person.
00:06Multiple interviews.
00:07Like every time we ask people who they're listening to,
00:09who they're inspired by, who they want to work with, it's you, man.
00:11Who they're proud of, who they're celebrating, who they want to meet.
00:14The list goes on and on.
00:15That's awesome. That's very kind.
00:16Everybody's been really, really sweet this whole week.
00:18Well, always, but this week especially,
00:20it feels like there's a lot of support, a lot of folks behind us.
00:23So it feels really good. Very excited about it.
00:25I mean, how else does this week feel maybe monumental in your career?
00:29I think, I mean, it's always,
00:33it's a huge moment to get to be able to do the, you know,
00:36have a performance on the show and, you know,
00:38be in front of that many, that big of an audience through, you know,
00:42old TV land.
00:44And that's the first time I've done that.
00:46So I'm getting a big old taste in national TV lately.
00:49Did the Fallon Tonight show a little bit ago and then this.
00:53So, yeah, it's really, really cool.
00:54I'm very thankful to get to be in front of everybody.
00:57Hopefully I don't get too nervous and screw it up.
00:59Well then, I mean, also to be best new artist,
01:01but also album of the year,
01:02I feel like it's kind of a like crazy thing to have both at the same time.
01:06Yeah, man.
01:06So what does that mean?
01:07It's wild.
01:09It seemed, the new artist of the year made more sense to me than,
01:13I did not, did not expect the album of the year thing.
01:16It's really, really cool.
01:17Great feeling to have, you know,
01:18it's my debut record and to have that up for that category,
01:21you know, amongst a bunch of great, great other artists.
01:25Very thankful for that.
01:26We'll see what happens.
01:27It's cool to be just in that category.
01:29It's awesome.
01:29And just one more question.
01:30Since everybody wants to work with you,
01:31who do you want to work with?
01:35Maybe Alan Jackson.
01:36I don't know if I could get him back in the studio or not,
01:38but it'd be fun, you know?
01:40I feel like you could do anything right now.
01:41Well, who knows?
01:42Who knows?
01:43We've been on the road with him a little bit
01:44and I've got the chance to hang around him a little bit.
01:46That'd be a fun one.
01:46Cool.
01:47Thanks so much, man.
01:48Good luck to me.
01:48Congratulations and yeah,
01:49let the good luck continue.
