My biggest dream is to headline an arena tour.

I've always been a big, bold thinker and a dreamer.

Me and my mom made a deal that if something would happen to help me get my start in music, I could get out of college.

I used to walk around trying to do the Britney Spears growl: 'Oh, baby, baby.'

I'm in this wave with Maddie & Tae and RaeLynn and Mickey Guyton and Cam. We're all kind of finding our niches and becoming successful. I think that it's just been really fun to be with them and do this all together.

Honestly, I was a fan before I got the opportunity to be an artist. I was the kind of fan who would stand in line or post a cover video.

I feel a loyalty to my favorite artists, and to have my fans feel that, for me, is a special bond because I've been there for so long.

There are certain days I will get home, and something will pop up on my Twitter, and I will just cry about it. I get so overwhelmed that I get to do what I do.

My life is truly pop country.

I just want to make the best music I can make.

Getting to do shows with Lady Antebellum, Keith Urban, and Sam Hunt is just awesome. It's so inspiring because I grew up such fans of Lady A and Keith, and to be able to sing my songs on the same stage as them and then stand side stage and watch them is just a really special thing.

'Peter Pan,' I think, was a game-changer. That was the first song that really had some heartbeat to it... I think that's the song that got people's attention.

I'm a huge fan of the Chainsmokers - like, huge. Like, I would love to collaborate with them.

The Grammys are just the pinnacle of music.

I went to my first CMA Music Fest when I was 14 and waited in line for two hours to meet two people: Taylor Swift and Hillary Scott from Lady Antebellum. It's very ironic but not accidental that those two people refer to me as their 'little sister' now.

I love having that conversation with someone I've never met before who's enjoying something that I wrote and being able to connect and share that.

The thing that's been most important to me is being interactive with people that are listening to my music.

I wanted to be a vet. I really thought that's what I wanted to do.

I'm not super traditional at all.

I feel like if you just walk with a purpose, people will think you're supposed to be there. That's my life theory.

Women in country music have always been a staple and always been important.

Honestly, I'm such a shoe girl. I like to save money, and I like to spend money on shoes.

I've always been drawn to the message of 'Be yourself. Love yourself.' I need to be reminded of that all time.

It's been really cool to me to watch someone like Sam Hunt, whose lyrics and roots are in country but you can hear that he listens to Drake and Justin Timberlake - and that's OK. It allows songwriters to be more honest because it's like, 'This is who I'm listening to.'

I've never been scared, but I'm very naive.

It's really cool when, in every genre of music, you can listen to a song and know what era it was from.

It's so fun to make up stories, but I find that the songs that I'm most proud of came from a real thing in my life - 'Peter Pan' being one of those.

It wasn't supposed to work - being a new artist, a female artist, an artist on an independent. That's what made it so much sweeter when we hit No. 1.

I'll be happiest when I've got my wife and my home.

When I'm out and about, I never get chatted up by women in an obvious way.

There's no denying for me that 'Emmerdale' is an amazing place to work. I've got so much to be grateful for. Over the years it's given me a great sense of purpose and a real sense of belonging.

I felt that as an actor I continued to excel and felt really comfortable and confident in myself that I wanted to at least give it a go and picture myself doing other things. It was testament to 'Emmerdale' that they gave me the confidence and creativity to pursue other challenges.

I just want to be a normal lad and not known as 'that bloke off the telly.'

I'm very fortunate now in that I have my first love, which is drama and acting, for a living and I'm also managing to go racing as well.

I knew I wanted to marry Liz the day I met her. Deep down I knew she was The One.

I don't want to let anyone down and I don't want to let myself down.

I'll spend about an hour and a half working out: mobility, activate whatever muscles, a full-body session every time, some full-body exercises and some upper-body exercises.

I'm like most people. I keep fit for myself. I'm not religious about it but I like to get to the gym whenever I can.

I find it really easy to be aggressive, I find it easy to cry.

Most people in TV are nice but there are some who just live in Egoville. They're not talented, they're just famous. I don't want to be like that.

I have been pretty happy with how I look but if I have a hectic week with family or work life, that has got to be my priority and the gym takes a back seat. Then a couple of weeks turn into a couple of months and before you know it you feel like you've got the 'dad bod.'

There's no one who puts more pressure on me than myself.

There's nothing better than a cold beer.

I won an award when I was 15 and my mum and dad were very proud and so was I but for me, individual things like that aren't as significant as I have been part of so much and there were weeks and months of hard work building up to those pinnacle moments and they can be full of moments of pride.

Getting trouble is always a problem when you are young and in a soap.

Carbs get a bad press, but they're pretty important.

When I arrived at 'Emmerdale,' Clive was the one person I got really starstruck about. It was weird, I was there with my dad and he said, 'There's Jack Sugden.' He was lovely, very welcoming and absolutely massive.

I've got a three-year-old daughter. To picture her being a dancer, I'd absolutely love that. I'm in absolute awe of what they do. Just seeing them work, they're incredible.

Maybe in another life I would have liked to have been a dancer. But I was a cheeky chappy who wanted to be an actor.

That's one thing I need to work on, my flexibility. I'm not mobile enough, am I.
