Musician

The biggest lesson I learned in 2017 is do the best with what you have with where you are.

There's a point where you're going after something so wholeheartedly that you start getting discouraged when there's no results or when no one's taking interest.

Being bold and standing our ground is important, and making sure you don't allow people to run all over you.

We left our homes and moved to Nashville as teenagers, and suddenly, we were on our own. We knew all we wanted to do in the world was write and sing... and the only way that would happen would be to jump, but you still get scared or sure you've done a dumb thing.

Country fans can sniff out phony from a mile away.

At 15 we were going back and forth to Nashville every weekend while we were still going to school.

When I go home to Texas and get recognized a lot, that can be weird.

For some reason, the word 'feminist' freaks people out, but when you look it up, all it means is equal opportunity.

We're acoustically driven, and there's no doubt we're country.

I love American Eagle's jeans; they fit me just right.

Some people forget that when you are collaborating, you aren't always right. So you have to be open-minded and have to remember there are two minds creating. So you have to respect the other person.

We played 'Girl in a Country Song' in front of Scott Borchetta, and he loved it.

I truly look in the mirror and love who I am today because of the pain that I had to go through to get here.

The center stone on my ring is the diamond from my mom's original engagement ring. My parents have been married 25 years! My dad bought her a new ring a while back, so she kept her original diamond to pass down to me or my sister someday. It is so special having an heirloom ring because I will get to pass it down one day, too.

We've been blessed with an incredible team behind us - Scott Borchetta and everybody at Dot Records. They're not afraid of taking chances, and we aren't either, so it is the dream team we've got behind us.

Music is obviously our No. 1, always. But it's so fun to venture out to another creative outlet.

It's so hard to be the girl in a country song, so we're speaking up.

Not being able to grow in comfort is a beautiful thing when you're uncomfortable, so just embrace it and roll with it, and you'll come out stronger.

Tae loves color, and I'm more into jeans. We like to think we're bohemian chic.

With our music, we don't want to just do one thing. We want to show all these different sides of us and all the different influences that we have.
