Speaker 1: questions do you want to ask? So let's get hyper
Speaker 1: heads up. These are adults having adult conversations, so there
Speaker 1: could be adult content. This episode is Rachel Reiner and
Speaker 1: she is the beautiful, gorgeous brunette from the band Gloriana.
Speaker 1: We talk all about what life was like in the band,
Speaker 1: how they won their the American Music Award Breakthrough Artists
Speaker 1: in two thousand and ten against Lady Gaga. They're huge hits,
Speaker 1: one of my favorite songs ever, kissed You good Night.
Speaker 1: And we talked about what life is like for her
Speaker 1: post breakup. This is the first interview she did when
Speaker 1: she broke up with Corriana. So, y'all welcome Rachel. Okay, Hello, Rachel.
Speaker 1: How do you say your last name? Rein? Because I
Speaker 1: thought it was hard. Yeah, it's okay. Heart's good to Rachel.
Speaker 1: We're here with in her lovely house with her ukulele.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna say a word, and you say the
Speaker 1: first thing that comes to your mind. Okay, okay, sexy
Speaker 1: time tattoos. Eight, I've got eight of them. You have
Speaker 1: eight tattoos, little ones. I have one here, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
Speaker 1: and then I technically have seven because I had one removed,
Speaker 1: So you move on my forearm. When I was eighteen,
Speaker 1: I was on the road with Gloriana and I decided
Speaker 1: in Vegas to get a tattoo of a music note,
Speaker 1: and then it turned out horrible, so later on I
Speaker 1: was like, I'll just add wings to it, and then
Speaker 1: it got it was horrible, so where it was on
Speaker 1: my forearm, so oh my gosh. So they really did
Speaker 1: a great removal. Yeah, so it works. It works because
Speaker 1: I got my first one, and Michael, my husband, wrote
Speaker 1: grateful in his hand writing cute. But originally when I
Speaker 1: first got it, it was immediate regret, like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: I ruined my body, like that life is over. I
Speaker 1: called my dirt Hodges and I was like, how do
Speaker 1: I get this thing off? Because I'm not going to
Speaker 1: I love it now but instant regret. Yeah. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: they numb you at the place that I went to.
Speaker 1: And and the only thing is that it just takes
Speaker 1: a really long time because you have to wait like
Speaker 1: six weeks in between each process. So how long I
Speaker 1: think I went through about ten different treatments, So it
Speaker 1: took about a year to get it completely off. Yeah girl,
Speaker 1: you can't even tell thanks, we have seven point five
Speaker 1: well yeah, yeah, yeah, and it goes okay, crush, oh
Speaker 1: Dave girl. I put him in here because I saw
Speaker 1: that you loved. I love Dave girl. Do what do
Speaker 1: you love about him? His hair just everyway, it's so funny,
Speaker 1: and he's really smart, and he just is such a
Speaker 1: lover of music and the knowledge of music and he
Speaker 1: spreads that and I just adore that. And it's just
Speaker 1: his energy, his aura, um, you know, the he's just
Speaker 1: a funny, cool guy and he's such a well rounded
Speaker 1: musician and a great songwriter and I just admire everything
Speaker 1: about that. I totally agree. Yeah, I loved a girl.
Speaker 1: He's awesome. Okay, wine uh boxed, clearly, box girl. I
Speaker 1: am like when I'm home for some reason, you know,
Speaker 1: just because typically, um, if I get a bottle of wine.
Speaker 1: I'll only drink like one or two glasses and then
Speaker 1: it just goes bad because I'll forget about it, or
Speaker 1: you know, I'll leave town or whatever. So it's just
Speaker 1: easier for me to get that because I know I
Speaker 1: can keep it for a long time. And you get
Speaker 1: like four bottles in one box, so you don't really
Speaker 1: have to keep running back to the store and doing
Speaker 1: all that. So it's conveniens. What's your favorite cocktail? Oh? Um? Actually,
Speaker 1: and there's like no sponsorship whatsoever, but you would think
Speaker 1: that there is because I talk about it all the time.
Speaker 1: But I love the deep Eddies Ruby red grapefruit grapefruit
Speaker 1: vodka with love soda. That's it. That's all you need.
Speaker 1: I think it's the best things because you don't have
Speaker 1: to have a mixture because it's sweet. Yeah, it's perfect,
Speaker 1: it's really but it's not too sweet, so that's the
Speaker 1: good part about it. I'm going to steal that you
Speaker 1: Blacktack cocktail. I'm telling you you're going to go through
Speaker 1: those bottles because they're like, it is so good. It's
Speaker 1: a good go too. It's very refreshing too. I love that. Okay, disgusting,
Speaker 1: Oh uh, chewing with your mouth open and I can't
Speaker 1: take it. It's really bad, that's true. Yeah, I hate
Speaker 1: that and smacking. Yeah, just about thing you're looking. Just
Speaker 1: know you want? Yes, you need some at the dining table? Yes,
Speaker 1: eat lightly? Yeah, okay, dog, I wish I had one,
Speaker 1: want one so bad? I do? I do, I have three.
Speaker 1: I'll give you one, okay, seriously, I just just drop
Speaker 1: it off. I got an extra one and you can
Speaker 1: have her. She's great potty train. That would be perfect.
Speaker 1: I seriously want one, and I've been thinking about it
Speaker 1: a lot, so I hopefully maybe this year I might.
Speaker 1: I might do it. Come over me, what you think? Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: must oh, I'm must oh. Gosh what hair spray? You
Speaker 1: have great hair. You look like there's hair spray in it.
Speaker 1: The hairspray that I use. I love it because it's
Speaker 1: it gives me flexibility. But for some I don't know,
Speaker 1: it's like a security blanket. For me because I really
Speaker 1: like the bumble and bubble in a red can. It's
Speaker 1: amazing because it looks like you literally have no hair spray.
Speaker 1: I like, and I honestly it's like every day I
Speaker 1: have to just even just like a little missed, just
Speaker 1: to make myself feel complete, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: If I don't have that, it's like I'm just not
Speaker 1: going to get through the day and be all right totally.
Speaker 1: I hear you, well, looks thank you. I was gonna
Speaker 1: ask you dave girl, but you've already said he's your crush. Yes, okay.
Speaker 1: So I also saw you talk about this close talkers.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Yeah, just keep a distance. People get
Speaker 1: up in your girl sometimes. Yeah, you know, and I'll
Speaker 1: tolerate it, but it just like it freaks me out
Speaker 1: because you know, it's like you just I don't know,
Speaker 1: it's like you just get kind of you don't want
Speaker 1: to smell each other's So how much space is is appropriate?
Speaker 1: This is a great space right here. So like you
Speaker 1: think like an arms length way someone, Yeah, give yourself
Speaker 1: an arms like arms length is great. I agree. Just
Speaker 1: smell each other's breath, catch the spits right exactly exactly.
Speaker 1: You can still hear me, I can still hear you, perfect, okay.
Speaker 1: And music, oh um, the first thing that comes to mind, Vinyl.
Speaker 1: I mean, and I've got a huge collection over there.
Speaker 1: I've been really lucky to inherit. My dad's yeah, it's
Speaker 1: my dad's. So dad's a big music person. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: and he and and my mom too, but really mostly
Speaker 1: my dad really influenced a lot of you know, the
Speaker 1: seventies rock and country, uh, you know music sick that
Speaker 1: I grew to love. And you know, they had a
Speaker 1: really well rounded, uh collection of music that they introduced
Speaker 1: me to as a kid. So the musicians, no, no, nobody,
Speaker 1: nobody in my family except for me as a musician.
Speaker 1: Where'd you get your love? I have no idea. I
Speaker 1: just I started singing when I was really really little,
Speaker 1: and I the first piece of music that I ever
Speaker 1: got was a cassette tape of Cheryl Crow's All I
Speaker 1: Want to Do? So did that set the tone for
Speaker 1: your musical? Completely? Completely? It was the only song that
Speaker 1: I wanted to listen to, and I learned every single
Speaker 1: word and I sang along to it, and that was
Speaker 1: just really the beginning of everything for me. And I
Speaker 1: was always singing along to the radio, always doing that,
Speaker 1: always performing for everybody. Just I was just a weird kid.
Speaker 1: But he went to performance school. I did, Yeah, at
Speaker 1: like seventh grade. Yeah, that's when I first started out. Well, actually,
Speaker 1: I did a lot of community theater up until that point. Oh, okay,
Speaker 1: so where I lived. Yeah, so theater is the beginning
Speaker 1: of it. Yeah, acting and sing, singing, all of it.
Speaker 1: And I loved musicals and I originally really thought that
Speaker 1: I was gonna go to New York and go and
Speaker 1: do Broadway. Really and somewhere along the way between when
Speaker 1: I got accepted into the Performing Arts school for the
Speaker 1: musical theater department. This is in Florida. This was in California.
Speaker 1: So you left your family in Florida, so we moved
Speaker 1: we I was born in Florida, and then we lived
Speaker 1: in Marietta, Georgia, until I was five, and then we
Speaker 1: moved to California. Um. And it was that a coincidence
Speaker 1: or to help you pursue your career. It was just
Speaker 1: my dad got a job out there, and I actually
Speaker 1: so if we could go all the way back. Um. I.
Speaker 1: So I was big into music, big into singing, and
Speaker 1: so my mom started putting me into local community theater
Speaker 1: and I got scouted by this agent after one of
Speaker 1: the shows when I was like six, and my mom
Speaker 1: drove me up to this agency and I sang for them,
Speaker 1: performed for them, and they signed me that day and
Speaker 1: and yeah, and so I got one commercial. Which one
Speaker 1: it was for I don't know if anybody remembers it,
Speaker 1: but it was for Hills Department Store and it was
Speaker 1: with Brett Butler from the show Grace under Fire. Oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, did you feel like you had made it?
Speaker 1: It was a wild experience for me because I was
Speaker 1: so little. I was like seven, you know, and so
Speaker 1: it was just such a crazy time. But because I
Speaker 1: was traveling to Los Angeles a lot, so my mom
Speaker 1: would drive me. It was it would take like two
Speaker 1: hours to get to Los Angeles and I would go
Speaker 1: on all these auditions and I was missing school and
Speaker 1: all that, and so she decided to kind of pull
Speaker 1: me out of it and just let me focus on
Speaker 1: doing theater. And so I I did theater for about
Speaker 1: ten years where I lived, and then I got into
Speaker 1: the performing arts school, and then I just started to
Speaker 1: pick up the guitar and started playing that. And I
Speaker 1: was really big into poetry. I was probably about twelve
Speaker 1: or thirteen at that time. Yeah, and then I had
Speaker 1: poetry and I decided to start putting the two together
Speaker 1: and started writing my own songs. And then I became
Speaker 1: friends with this dance teacher that I had, and he
Speaker 1: was like, you have such an amazing voice. And I
Speaker 1: have this friend who has a recording studio set up
Speaker 1: in his garage, So on the weekends and during the summer,
Speaker 1: I would go over there and we would write and
Speaker 1: I would record these garage studio demos. Yeah. And so
Speaker 1: then I had this other friend who UM, her brothers
Speaker 1: went to high school with my brothers, and she kept
Speaker 1: talking about all these trips that she would make to Nashville.
Speaker 1: And she was a singer songwriter too, and she and
Speaker 1: I became super close, and she was like, why don't
Speaker 1: you come with me sometimes? So I was about sixteen
Speaker 1: at that time, and so I convinced my parents to
Speaker 1: let me go with her because she was eighteen, she
Speaker 1: was two years older than me. On your own, did
Speaker 1: yell to we? We came to Nashville, and I met
Speaker 1: with her publisher and I ended up landing a publishing
Speaker 1: deal with him when I was sixteen. And so at
Speaker 1: that point I was like, Okay, I gotta leave the
Speaker 1: performing arts school and that whole idea behind, and I
Speaker 1: want to be in Nashville. I want to do this um.
Speaker 1: And so I convinced my parents to let me graduate
Speaker 1: a year early, finish up school through independent study, and
Speaker 1: I moved out here right away when I was seventeen,
Speaker 1: So you were graduated from high school. Okay, So I
Speaker 1: want to back up a little bit, because getting a
Speaker 1: publishing deal is really difficult. That basically means you are
Speaker 1: a great songwriter and that someone believes in your songwriting
Speaker 1: ability enough to sign you invest money in you because
Speaker 1: they think you're talented to get one of those at sixteen.
Speaker 1: And I had no idea. I had no idea. I
Speaker 1: was just like cool, you know, also right, And I
Speaker 1: didn't realize it at the time that that was, you know,
Speaker 1: a pretty big deal. Had you written all these songs
Speaker 1: by yourself that you've got the most of them? Yeah,
Speaker 1: and he and then he started to put me with
Speaker 1: all of these different co writers. And one of the
Speaker 1: first major co writers that I started working with this
Speaker 1: this was actually before he even had a single hit,
Speaker 1: was Josh Osborne and we did a lot of work
Speaker 1: together and huge, yes, yes, he's amazing. And so that
Speaker 1: was really the beginning of it for me. And so
Speaker 1: I really was on this path to to be a
Speaker 1: solo singer songwriter here in town. And then somewhere along
Speaker 1: the way, I ended up with the opportunity to join
Speaker 1: a band, and that that band was Gloriana and that
Speaker 1: today Mike and Tom find you on myself they did, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that happened. So I had a page with this music
Speaker 1: that I'd been writing and recording here on my Space
Speaker 1: was happening. Back on my Space was happening, and um,
Speaker 1: I had my songs up there, and they were searching
Speaker 1: through all of these Nashville girl artists and I think
Speaker 1: that they typed in a few different because you could
Speaker 1: type in like influences and it would pull up the
Speaker 1: people that had written those specific influences, and I think
Speaker 1: Cheryl Crow was actually one of them. And so they
Speaker 1: found me and they listened to my songs and they
Speaker 1: really liked what they heard, and they said, Hey, we're
Speaker 1: going to be new to town and we'd love to
Speaker 1: meet up with you sometime and you know, right and whatever,
Speaker 1: and so I thought, okay, you know, and we had
Speaker 1: a mutual friend, a guy named Chris Gardner who went
Speaker 1: to Vanderbilt, and my brother knew him through Vanderbilt because
Speaker 1: my brother went there right right, Because I mean, that's
Speaker 1: kind of scary they found my totally totally creepy, totally weird. Um.
Speaker 1: But yeah, so that's that's how that whole thing got started.
Speaker 1: And then they moved in with you. Yeah for a
Speaker 1: little while. Yeah, for for about six months in my apartment.
Speaker 1: It was crammed. It was like, you guys, have to
Speaker 1: find your own place. Um. But but it was good
Speaker 1: because I think for us at that time, we didn't
Speaker 1: really know each other that well, and so we got
Speaker 1: to work a lot, and then on top of that,
Speaker 1: we got to really know each other, and you know,
Speaker 1: it was good practice for being on a bus together
Speaker 1: for what would be the next eight years. Wow. So
Speaker 1: you kind of just not accidentally but like you weren't
Speaker 1: seeking out a band. Band kind of just it just happened. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And so did you kind of just believe that was
Speaker 1: your destinated field hymistry musically? It was? It was. And
Speaker 1: I think for me, to the fact that I did
Speaker 1: that was so good for me because I was so
Speaker 1: green in so many ways, and we we all got
Speaker 1: to learn so much together about about the business and
Speaker 1: just about ourselves. And I do truly believe that that
Speaker 1: was how it was supposed to be, That was what
Speaker 1: was meant to be, and you guys had quite a
Speaker 1: bit of success along the way. You picked up a
Speaker 1: fourth Cheyenne, Yes, and she had her own reality show
Speaker 1: on MTV for a minute Cheyenne Yeah. Okay, So how
Speaker 1: did y'all meet her? And how did that come about?
Speaker 1: Trying to be Fleetwood Mackie? You know, that was definitely
Speaker 1: one of the influences. And I think you know what
Speaker 1: happened with all of the was we've been playing a
Speaker 1: lot at um, you know, Third and Lindsley back when
Speaker 1: it was the old Third and Linsley and and I
Speaker 1: remember seeing her out in the crowd and she came
Speaker 1: up to us and we talked for a while afterwards,
Speaker 1: and then it just kind of naturally came together. And
Speaker 1: it made sense too, because she had a lot of experience,
Speaker 1: and she had a great fan base, and you know,
Speaker 1: she was very interested in all of it, and so
Speaker 1: you know, we thought that it would be a great addition,
Speaker 1: you know, and it was when it was. And so
Speaker 1: when that you know, sort of fell apart and she left,
Speaker 1: I think that it made us all stronger and we
Speaker 1: learned a lot from that experience as well. And um,
Speaker 1: you know, we ended up having our our biggest song
Speaker 1: of our career after all of that, Yeah, yeah, it did. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So I think, you know, everything happens for a reason,
Speaker 1: everything works out the way that it's supposed to. And
Speaker 1: and you know her, that was her journey with the
Speaker 1: band was supposed to end at that time. Was she
Speaker 1: with you guys? She was with us for about three
Speaker 1: and a half, almost four years, and Gloriana the band
Speaker 1: was eight years total. Yes, okay, so while you guys
Speaker 1: were touring, you toured with Taylor Swift for two years.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, what was that? Like? Amazing? She's she's
Speaker 1: incredible and I mean, like I really truly believe that
Speaker 1: she has earned everything that she's gotten and she deserves it.
Speaker 1: And she she was such an amazing influence, you know,
Speaker 1: to see how how she is with her fans. Incredible,
Speaker 1: absolutely incredible and really just takes the time and never
Speaker 1: tires from it. And not only that, but just an
Speaker 1: incredible songwriter. And it really is. Yeah, and it's like
Speaker 1: you can't you can't argue with it. You know. Her
Speaker 1: vision is so clear too. She's so confident and she
Speaker 1: has been from such a young age, from the very beginning,
Speaker 1: because you all were with her kind of in the beginning. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we were with her on her first major headlining arena tour.
Speaker 1: And how did that come together? Um? I guess that
Speaker 1: she had heard our first single, wild at Heart and
Speaker 1: I remember when that came up, such a fun song. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and she really liked what she heard and she wanted
Speaker 1: us to be a part of the tour. And she
Speaker 1: was so supportive. And you know, as far as when
Speaker 1: you're the opener for the opener on a tour like that,
Speaker 1: you know, the expectation is very low and should be
Speaker 1: very low as far as you know what you get
Speaker 1: and treatment and all of those things. And she went
Speaker 1: so above and beyond and and really became a friend.
Speaker 1: And um, you know, she took such good care of
Speaker 1: us and really supported our band and supported the song
Speaker 1: and you know, you couldn't ask for more. Did you
Speaker 1: guys have slumber parties? Uh? We we did to some degree.
Speaker 1: You know, she she had her own bus with her mom. Um.
Speaker 1: I actually ended up doing most of my slumber parties
Speaker 1: with Kelly because she had her bust completely to herself.
Speaker 1: Kelli Pickler was opening was the second okay, and y'all
Speaker 1: became great friends. We became really good. Yeah. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: remember I follow you. I've always followed you guys on
Speaker 1: social media, and you would like totally hang out, matching tattoos. Yeah.
Speaker 1: It was fun because we were together every day for
Speaker 1: so long. You know, Um, so I I missed those days,
Speaker 1: you know, from time to time, but you know, we
Speaker 1: would run into her out on the road and we
Speaker 1: would end up on the same bill as her, and
Speaker 1: so it was like, it's just one of those friendships, yeah, Kelly,
Speaker 1: And it's just one of those friendships where you know,
Speaker 1: we don't really see each other all the time. We
Speaker 1: don't really talk all the time. You know, we do
Speaker 1: from time to time, but when we do see each other,
Speaker 1: it's like no time that has passed, you know. It's
Speaker 1: just kind of one of those relationships. She's such a
Speaker 1: great person. Yeah, she is. Yeah. I love that I've
Speaker 1: gotten to know her through her show, which you need
Speaker 1: to come be on. Yeah all right, Okay, So after
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift, then you met Kelly Pickler. You guys, Gloriana
Speaker 1: one lot of awards, like you guys won that what
Speaker 1: was it, the American Music Award break Through Artists in
Speaker 1: two thousand tens. Yes, Okay, that's a big deal, because
Speaker 1: that's all genres, right, it was a huge deal. It
Speaker 1: was really cool. That's insane. I'll tell you that. I
Speaker 1: actually don't even have my my physical award. Somebody stole
Speaker 1: it from me. I still have no idea. Who have
Speaker 1: no idea? Can you get another one? You need that?
Speaker 1: Apparently it's really hard to get to get your award
Speaker 1: back when something like that happens, come in your house.
Speaker 1: It was never it never reached my house. It was
Speaker 1: stolen in the mail. It was stolen off of our bus.
Speaker 1: It was yeah, it's it's fine. You know. That sucks.
Speaker 1: I have it in my heart, but I mean it
Speaker 1: would be nice to have the hardware. Yeah. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: was a wild night. But you know, I think in
Speaker 1: some ways it's sort of karmic because right after we
Speaker 1: won the awards. So when you when you win an
Speaker 1: award like that, they give you a prop award, you know,
Speaker 1: so you don't have the actual one typically yeah, um,
Speaker 1: because they wait to get your name engraved in it,
Speaker 1: because they don't at least for those yeah and so
Speaker 1: and so we had the proper award, and they were like,
Speaker 1: you have to give the proper award back. You know,
Speaker 1: if if you guys get this award, you have to
Speaker 1: give the prop back. I'm like, okay, And so right
Speaker 1: after we wanted, I stuffed it in in my purse
Speaker 1: and we took it and we went and like had
Speaker 1: a big huge hotel party celebration this whole thing, and
Speaker 1: you know, passed it around and whatever. And it was
Speaker 1: kind of my fault. Yeah, and we've gotten a lot
Speaker 1: of trouble. We gave it back, of course. Um, but yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess maybe that was my my karma for stealing
Speaker 1: the pro. Yeah, I was were you guys nominated against? Um?
Speaker 1: I believe it was. I know it was Lady Gaga.
Speaker 1: You guys are up against Lady Gaga, Drake and it
Speaker 1: was somebody else. I can't remember. It was so long ago.
Speaker 1: Was about against Lady Gaga and Drake and crushed it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Can you believe it was fan voted? You know? And
Speaker 1: so I think it goes without saying that country music
Speaker 1: fans are amazing and very dedicated, and we had some
Speaker 1: fans that would just sit on their computers all day
Speaker 1: and night and just vote, vote, vote, vote vote. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so you have a big fan base. Did Gloriana have
Speaker 1: a lot of fans that loved you guys totally, totally,
Speaker 1: very dedicated, very supportive, very loving, and you know, throughout
Speaker 1: this whole process of me no longer being with Gloriana
Speaker 1: just showed me um an incredible amount of support and
Speaker 1: love because it was scary for me to make that
Speaker 1: decision and then to put that out there, you know,
Speaker 1: and not know what was going to come back. And
Speaker 1: so I I was just overwhelmed with the outpouring of
Speaker 1: love and support and you know, just super grateful for that. Okay,
Speaker 1: So you have a statement which I thought was so
Speaker 1: well put, and I want to read when you left Gloriana. Okay,
Speaker 1: and right before you guys left, though, you guys had
Speaker 1: a monster hit which we talked about. Actually, I want
Speaker 1: to talk about your statement, but then I want to
Speaker 1: say you said trouble. First, you guys had kiss You
Speaker 1: good Night, Yes, which was a huge song for y'all,
Speaker 1: went to number two. I mean that video I watched
Speaker 1: like a hundred times you did. It was so good.
Speaker 1: That song spoke to me. I loved it so much.
Speaker 1: It was a great song. It was a great song.
Speaker 1: I changed your career completely completely and and you know,
Speaker 1: we had some songs that did pretty well prior to that,
Speaker 1: but when you have a hit song like that, you
Speaker 1: just feel a big energy shift and you just feel
Speaker 1: that love and um, you know, we we were very
Speaker 1: blessed to just be on an incredible ride after after
Speaker 1: that song did what it did. And then you guys
Speaker 1: put out Trouble, which you said was revenge. Did he? Yeah? Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: we have details. You know. It's when you're when you're
Speaker 1: just in your twenties and you're dating and you're kind
Speaker 1: of gathering all these different experiences. Um, you know, I
Speaker 1: think a lot of especially girls end up with the
Speaker 1: bad guy just ends up being a cheater and just
Speaker 1: not not a good dude, not who you think that
Speaker 1: they are, and um, you know, I think it was
Speaker 1: just kind of a fun way of expressing myself. Do
Speaker 1: you think the guy knows it's about him? Oh? Yeah,
Speaker 1: he totally knew it was about him. Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Have you had some crazy excess completely? Yeah? I've had
Speaker 1: some good ones too, but but yeah, okay, yeah, especially
Speaker 1: when you're a creative type, do date creative type guys?
Speaker 1: I have found myself to be more drawn to that. Yes,
Speaker 1: and with that comes potentially crazy totally, but you know
Speaker 1: that's artists. You know, we're all sort of nuts. So
Speaker 1: because I think to have the creative side, you also
Speaker 1: have to have the wild imagination, Yeah, which, if not tamed,
Speaker 1: can lead to totally totally craziness. Yeah, exactly, exactly have
Speaker 1: you tamed your creative mind? I would say that I'm
Speaker 1: kind of somewhere in between, you know, because I definitely
Speaker 1: love to tap into all of those emotions and you know,
Speaker 1: that's that's where great songs come from, is you know,
Speaker 1: the stories and all of that. But as far as
Speaker 1: like who I am, just on a personal level, I'm
Speaker 1: find myself to be pretty normal. What does normal mean
Speaker 1: to you? Normal means like I'm a homebody and you know,
Speaker 1: I have a great group of friends, and I surround
Speaker 1: myself with people that I've known for a very long
Speaker 1: time as well. I'm very family oriented. Um, you know
Speaker 1: that's that comes first and foremost. And um, you know,
Speaker 1: I love to cook and I love watching The Bachelor,
Speaker 1: and I'm actually pretty boring. Did yeah on Emily Maynard
Speaker 1: season the batch arette? Yeah, did you find out any
Speaker 1: dirt on how the shows run? No? Not really, I
Speaker 1: mean I think for the most part. You know, when
Speaker 1: you see all those characters, those crazy characters, you kinda
Speaker 1: have to be a little bat shipped to go in
Speaker 1: the Bachelor, I think so I would have done it
Speaker 1: Twinter Baby. It's so funny too, because it's like it's
Speaker 1: such a train wreck A lot of the time. I
Speaker 1: just can't stop watching, and I just love it. How
Speaker 1: many girls fighting for attention of one dude? How are you?
Speaker 1: How can all those people like the same guy. I
Speaker 1: don't know, And I don't know how they all can
Speaker 1: like kiss the same person and that, you know, if
Speaker 1: I were the Bachelorette and then like to have like
Speaker 1: to be like kissing like six or seven people all
Speaker 1: in the same night, I would just feel so weird.
Speaker 1: I'd be like, yeah, I need to go like brush
Speaker 1: my teeth in between. Maybe that's just like my O
Speaker 1: C D. But I don't know, like stop, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: I mean O C D all around the house is
Speaker 1: I'm a little psycho mo every day? I okay, So
Speaker 1: for Christmas. For Christmas, I told my dad, I was like,
Speaker 1: I want one thing and one thing only, and I
Speaker 1: want this cordless Dyson that the best thing ever write
Speaker 1: the best thing. Ever, I do it every day. Nothing
Speaker 1: gets me more excited than than that vacuum. I mean nothing,
Speaker 1: How psycho is that it's unreal Like I'm obsessed and
Speaker 1: min tot pink too. It's hot pink like. It gives
Speaker 1: me that surge of like probably how you feel like
Speaker 1: on a first date or something like when you're cleaning
Speaker 1: and you see it and you look around me. Your
Speaker 1: house looks good, girl, it is shiny, spit expan sells amazing.
Speaker 1: It's always like that anything I'm telling you, I'm like,
Speaker 1: O C D. Psycho. How often do you vacuum every day?
Speaker 1: Do you wake up first thing? Not first thing? But
Speaker 1: you know, especially now that I've got that little Dyson's,
Speaker 1: it's amazing. It's a game changer. I'm so I literally
Speaker 1: like I could talk ever, I could talk whatever it
Speaker 1: is and the cord. Yeah, but like I said, a
Speaker 1: pretty normal Hey, you know you like a clean house.
Speaker 1: I like, that's what kind of cuisine do you like
Speaker 1: to cook? Oh? Gosh, I like to do like a
Speaker 1: lot of different things. I like to do. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: I I do a really good pecan chicken. Actually, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's like what everyone's favorite is. I guess of mine.
Speaker 1: But I do like a lot of crop pot stuff too,
Speaker 1: because that's just easy. Um, a lot of Italian food,
Speaker 1: Mexican food, all kinds. What's your heritage? Um, I am
Speaker 1: mostly German. I'm a little bit, a little, little, little
Speaker 1: tiny bit Native American, um, Cherokee and Irish English. You
Speaker 1: got a little smart sport, Yeah, a little bit of
Speaker 1: everything everything. Okay. So when you left Gloriana, which was
Speaker 1: hung ago with that officially, uh, it was is December
Speaker 1: thirty one of two thousand fifteen. This is your statement.
Speaker 1: When I thought was so cool, I knew that this
Speaker 1: would be one of the biggest and bravest decisions of
Speaker 1: my life. I joined the band when I was just
Speaker 1: eighteen years old, and I fully and I fully dedicated
Speaker 1: eight years of my life to being a member of Gloriana.
Speaker 1: I had an unwavering commitment to the band, even though
Speaker 1: I had always dreamt of pursuing a solo career. One day,
Speaker 1: I just finally reached a point where I really could
Speaker 1: no longer ignore was in my heart. I felt as
Speaker 1: though I had completed my journey with Gloriana. I knew
Speaker 1: it was time to get out of my comfort zone.
Speaker 1: And everything I've known for so long, push myself and
Speaker 1: pursue a different creative path. So tell me about this
Speaker 1: new creative path and what Rachel Reinert's solo career looks
Speaker 1: like and how life has been post Coriana. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: I'm still very much, very fresh. Yeah, it's still very fresh,
Speaker 1: and I'm still very much at the beginning stages of everything. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, so I think for me creatively, I'm I'm
Speaker 1: still sorting through all of that. Um, but I love
Speaker 1: the seventies influence, so I'm thinking that it's going to
Speaker 1: have a lot of that in a really organic feel.
Speaker 1: And then you know, as far as the songwriting goes,
Speaker 1: I'm going to do my best to really I just
Speaker 1: want so badly to have a hand in every song
Speaker 1: that goes into into my first solo album, So I
Speaker 1: want it to be really personal. Um. So that's really
Speaker 1: my priority at this point. And um, you know, I
Speaker 1: think I think since all of that came out, Um,
Speaker 1: you know, my life for the last eight years was go,
Speaker 1: go go, and it's been a little bit slow for me,
Speaker 1: and it's been a little bit of Okay, I gotta
Speaker 1: just be comfortable with taking my time and getting all
Speaker 1: of that together and getting it right, um, you know.
Speaker 1: And and as far as everything goes, it's going to
Speaker 1: be all new people and experiences and um and a
Speaker 1: new team for me as well. And so I think
Speaker 1: it's just kind of getting it all together and to
Speaker 1: give my time with that and being okay with that. So,
Speaker 1: like you said, being okay with that because it's so
Speaker 1: crazy to go from a hundred to like back at zero.
Speaker 1: But do you think sometimes some of the most amazing
Speaker 1: growth happens in those times? It does? And I that's
Speaker 1: that's the mindset that I have to stay in, you know,
Speaker 1: because I think for me too, it's all this pressure
Speaker 1: that I've put on myself about okay. You know, I'm
Speaker 1: sure people are expecting to hear something from me really
Speaker 1: really soon, um you know, and I just have to
Speaker 1: let that go because I'd rather it be right than
Speaker 1: it be rushed, you know, So whether it be right, yeah,
Speaker 1: So that so it's I just I hope that everybody
Speaker 1: stays patient with me and allows me to kind of
Speaker 1: you know, suss through this whole creative process and get
Speaker 1: everything together and get it right, um, you know, and
Speaker 1: then it'll it'll come together when it's supposed to. So
Speaker 1: have you started the songwriting process. I have. I've already
Speaker 1: got a good handful of songs the really excited about. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so you said seventies influence. What does that sound like?
Speaker 1: Is that like like Stevie Navy? Yeah? Yeah, so you
Speaker 1: love that by Yeah? I do? I do? Okay. Do
Speaker 1: you have favorite songwriters that you like to write with
Speaker 1: in town? Oh? Yeah, I I you know, I've I've
Speaker 1: been so lucky, especially you know, being with Gloriana. I
Speaker 1: got introduced to a lot of incredible people, and um,
Speaker 1: Ross Copperman, John Knight, Um, Jimmy Robbins my friend, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: And then my my, my dear friend, Alyssa Bonna Gura,
Speaker 1: who we were just talking about, who you know, she's
Speaker 1: She's so cool and so sweet, and she and I
Speaker 1: became great friends because our boyfriends are in the same
Speaker 1: band and what's that been shut up? They're called Tyler
Speaker 1: Bryant The Shakedown, and they're amazing rocking They're so talented
Speaker 1: and and so she and I hit it off right away,
Speaker 1: and we started working together and writing together, and we
Speaker 1: have an amazing musical chemistry. And people say that about her.
Speaker 1: She she really is like she's she's like a freak.
Speaker 1: She's so good, you know. So it's it's it's awesome
Speaker 1: working with her, you know. So I feel really lucky.
Speaker 1: So do you have any idea what team you're going
Speaker 1: to put together or is that just you're gonna let
Speaker 1: it happen organically, just gonna let it all happen organically.
Speaker 1: I think I'm just really open. I'm open to all
Speaker 1: kinds of different things because, you know, right now at
Speaker 1: this point, like I don't I don't have a tour
Speaker 1: to be on. I don't really have like a schedule.
Speaker 1: Just crazy because you've had one for eight years. Yeah,
Speaker 1: for so long, since I was a teenager, you know.
Speaker 1: And so for the first time in my life, I'm
Speaker 1: just open to all kinds of different opportunities and possibilities,
Speaker 1: and and I'm I'm just allowing myself to kind of
Speaker 1: go on this journey. Has that taken a mental adjustment
Speaker 1: to wake up and be like, Okay, I'm a blank
Speaker 1: slate today? Totally. I've been freaking out. I've been a disaster.
Speaker 1: You have what is your breaking out that you like
Speaker 1: eight times a day while I'm crying, where's my tour manager? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's been. It's it's been good for me, it's
Speaker 1: been it's been a humbling experience. It's good to be humbled. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what have you learned in this moment? Like you said, humbling?
Speaker 1: What has humbled you? Um, you know, just really having
Speaker 1: to be patient. You're probably having to just really trust
Speaker 1: yourself and your instinct completely. Sometimes that is terrifying completely, Yeah,
Speaker 1: because you're just going on your own guidening light and
Speaker 1: trusting that it's exactly And it's not like I had
Speaker 1: like some master plan in place, you know what I mean, Like, Okay,
Speaker 1: the day that I'm out of this band, now like
Speaker 1: here we go. You know, I I knew what I
Speaker 1: wanted to do, but I knew that it would take
Speaker 1: time and that I just would be a total rebuild
Speaker 1: for me. Um, you know, willing to rebuild completely. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so you're willing to do all the hard work for
Speaker 1: the solo career. Girl, that's amazing. It's hard work. And
Speaker 1: we're kind of talking before we started interviewing. You believe
Speaker 1: in the universe, and like, do you believe that things
Speaker 1: are drawn to you? And like what you put out
Speaker 1: there you go by totally. I'm so big into that,
Speaker 1: and like the funniest thing for me is just like
Speaker 1: the little stuff if I'm riding on an airplane or
Speaker 1: if I'm in a public place, you see how like
Speaker 1: frustrated people get at other people. And you know, even
Speaker 1: just if you're driving in your car and if if
Speaker 1: somebody does something to upset you. I always like try
Speaker 1: to make a point to not get angry or honk
Speaker 1: the horn or flip somebody off or you know, add
Speaker 1: any any more negative energy into it, because I think
Speaker 1: even just putting those little things out there, it all
Speaker 1: comes back to you, um, you know, and it just
Speaker 1: perpetuates more more of that, you know. And so it's
Speaker 1: it's like every day, you know, if you wake up
Speaker 1: every day feeling like I'm tired, or you hit your
Speaker 1: you know, toe getting out of bed, and then the
Speaker 1: rest of your day just kind of spirals, um, you know.
Speaker 1: So I try to make a point to every day,
Speaker 1: you know, wake up happy, being a good headspace and
Speaker 1: think about what it is that I want to accomplish,
Speaker 1: and you know, just really take every day one day
Speaker 1: at a time. But um, you know, just always generate
Speaker 1: more positivity because I think that that all comes back
Speaker 1: I totally agree. You know, so that's conscious living. I
Speaker 1: can never say that word correctly. Conscious conscious consciously, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I can't say it either. How did you
Speaker 1: learn to live consciously? Because I feel like so many
Speaker 1: people let the day happen, then let life happen to them,
Speaker 1: like you have to think about it to live consciously. Yeah. Well,
Speaker 1: I've had a lot of influence. A lot of it
Speaker 1: comes from my mom, and I think it comes from,
Speaker 1: you know, spending my formative years in California where a
Speaker 1: lot of people think like that. And you know, I've
Speaker 1: I've read a lot of books I I like, uh,
Speaker 1: The Secret Secret and Dr Wayne Dyer and you know,
Speaker 1: he's an amazing writer, and just you know, all these
Speaker 1: different people who had that way of thinking, and I've
Speaker 1: adopted that into my life, and um, you know, I
Speaker 1: think a lot of that also kind of helped me
Speaker 1: to make this decision and to be brave in that
Speaker 1: and to teach you to trust yourself, trust myself, and
Speaker 1: to follow my heart and you know, to to just believe,
Speaker 1: which is terrifying. I mean, I feel like I try
Speaker 1: to live consciously also, but when you take these big risks,
Speaker 1: you really do have to have a faith in something
Speaker 1: that Okay, I'm like taking a risk and yeah, trusting
Speaker 1: that it's going to work out. Yeah, totally. But what
Speaker 1: however it works out, you know it's gonna be fine
Speaker 1: because you're choosing to always see the positive exactly. I
Speaker 1: wish everyone did that. Yeah, I thought the world would
Speaker 1: be happier. Yeah, I do. And you know, I'm such
Speaker 1: a firm believer that everything works out as it should
Speaker 1: and everything, um, you know, happens for a reason. And
Speaker 1: and you know, I can I can tell you so
Speaker 1: many things that have happened in my past that at
Speaker 1: the moment I may not have known, like why is
Speaker 1: this happening? This is so horrible, But then you know,
Speaker 1: somewhere further down the line, you look back and you go, oh, okay,
Speaker 1: there was a reason for that. That's that's that's why,
Speaker 1: because it brought me to this other place, you know,
Speaker 1: this other point in time, this other better thing, you know.
Speaker 1: So it's like trusting in God and all of that too.
Speaker 1: You know, are you religious? Are you just spiritual? More?
Speaker 1: I would say that I'm a more spiritual person. I
Speaker 1: was raised Catholic when I was a little kid. Um, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I went to Catholic school and all girls. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: but I'm I'm a very I lean more spiritual than anything. Okay,
Speaker 1: So has your faith been a part of your musical
Speaker 1: career the whole time? I think so? Yeah, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think so. I think just you know, really, all
Speaker 1: that it comes down to for me is is you know,
Speaker 1: being a good person, and you know, being good to
Speaker 1: other people, and you know, just really being loving and
Speaker 1: believing in love and and that's what it's really all
Speaker 1: about for me. So obviously you're amazing with your fashion,
Speaker 1: like you're out that you have one right now? This
Speaker 1: necklace is stupid, It's so pretty. Where do you get
Speaker 1: your style influence? Um? I think that a lot of
Speaker 1: it probably comes from I see I'm just gonna sound
Speaker 1: like I'm repeating myself, but I I love like that
Speaker 1: seventies vibe, you know. So I like a lot of
Speaker 1: vintage things. I like a lot of a lot of
Speaker 1: stuff in my house is antique. Um, you know, so
Speaker 1: I think it comes from that. And then also, um,
Speaker 1: you know, I really like the just the bohemian you
Speaker 1: know kind of style, and you see a lot of
Speaker 1: it in magazines and you know, on Instagram or or whatever,
Speaker 1: you know, and so I take a lot from that
Speaker 1: as well. So Stevie's one of your style icons. Sex
Speaker 1: to Current Day is one of your style icons. I
Speaker 1: really like Nicole Ritchie's style. I think she's got a
Speaker 1: lot of cool um uh, you know, just choice. She
Speaker 1: blends sophistication with all the totally totally also, thanks, thank you.
Speaker 1: So what are you most excited about with this fresh slate?
Speaker 1: I think, just for me, it's it's like you said,
Speaker 1: it's just a new start. It's a new beginning, it's
Speaker 1: a new adventure, it's a new chapter, you know. And
Speaker 1: and uh, it's it's just a completely different thing for
Speaker 1: me that I haven't experienced, you know. And it's challenging.
Speaker 1: But but that's what I wanted. I wanted. I wanted
Speaker 1: to feel challenged again, and I wanted to feel excited
Speaker 1: about something again, and and I wanted to push myself.
Speaker 1: And so I think it's just getting out of my
Speaker 1: comfort zone and really just embracing that and growing as
Speaker 1: a human being and as an artist. So that's that's
Speaker 1: that's really it. That's all. You just want to grow.
Speaker 1: I just want to grow. Growing is exhausting, Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: it's so exhausting. Yeah, luckily, you know, I'm I'm at
Speaker 1: a point in my life like where I feel like
Speaker 1: I can I can do that. You know, I don't
Speaker 1: really have, um, you know, anything else to worry about
Speaker 1: other than just being able to put everything into this
Speaker 1: and focus on that. So this is a season of Rachel,
Speaker 1: like you're dis going to zero in on who you
Speaker 1: are emotionally, musically, the whole package. This is your year.
Speaker 1: Well that sounds so selfish, and yeah, I think that's
Speaker 1: a good thing. You have to take the time to
Speaker 1: really get to know who you are. Not that you
Speaker 1: have other experiences, but but knows who I am on
Speaker 1: my own exactly. You know. I kind of feel like
Speaker 1: that's the same for me. This is the first time
Speaker 1: I've ever been so low, and it's great to discover
Speaker 1: yourself totally as a total individual totally. And look at you.
Speaker 1: I mean, you're doing amazing. I mean to be a
Speaker 1: Rachel Reyner. I don't mean that part seriously. You're a badass.
Speaker 1: You're a badass chick, thank you, And you're an inspiring woman.
Speaker 1: You're hiring your kind, You're beautiful, you're talented, and you
Speaker 1: believe it's it's all going to work out perfectly for you.
Speaker 1: You want to just move in, you can just like
Speaker 1: help me up every day. We can vacuum. I'll bring
Speaker 1: my vacuum dog and dog. I got you cover perfect. Okay. So,
Speaker 1: do you have any like crazy stories you can share
Speaker 1: with me, a road story or a crazy fan or something,
Speaker 1: bizarre crazy stories or just cool stories. Yeah, I really
Speaker 1: believe unless well, well, I mean we so I've been
Speaker 1: lucky enough that I got to, you know, perform at
Speaker 1: the White House. I think it was. Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: it was back in two thousand and ten. What president
Speaker 1: for Obama? I'm very p Yeah, yeah, right, obviously. Yeah, so,
Speaker 1: I mean that was an amazing experience. And then yeah,
Speaker 1: so we got to meet him and then it was
Speaker 1: like all of these other artists. It was Stevie Wonder
Speaker 1: and John Legend and I have a crush on John
Speaker 1: Legend Christy Tigan. Aren't they you them as a couple,
Speaker 1: They're so great. We actually so we this is a
Speaker 1: funny story. So we wrote in the same limo as
Speaker 1: as him over to the White House right before the performance,
Speaker 1: just chilling in the limo, hanging out in the in
Speaker 1: the limo with him, and uh so his name on
Speaker 1: the list because you know, it's obviously very tight security,
Speaker 1: but his his name isn't really John Legend, I know,
Speaker 1: which all of us were like what it's like, it's
Speaker 1: something really ordinary. I forget what it is. It's something like, um,
Speaker 1: John Stevens or something like that. That's not it, but
Speaker 1: it's it's something very ordinary like that. And so he
Speaker 1: hands over his I D. But on the list, I
Speaker 1: think it had him listed as as John Legend, and
Speaker 1: so he hands over his I D. And they're like, no,
Speaker 1: you know, this isn't the same, that's not the same
Speaker 1: last name. It was like this whole ord dude, John Leglie.
Speaker 1: We're all sitting there just like it's John Legend, Like
Speaker 1: what what you know? We're all like freaking out or
Speaker 1: like just go the limb. You know. It was pretty funny.
Speaker 1: I'm mean they ended up letting him and it was
Speaker 1: just like a mix up. But it was Oh he
Speaker 1: was so cool and she was I mean, she was
Speaker 1: just stunning. Yeah. Yeah, she wasn't in the limo at
Speaker 1: that point for some reason. She met us over there,
Speaker 1: but she was very beautiful. Um. I didn't really talk
Speaker 1: to her and this was actually before she really became Yeah,
Speaker 1: hugely famous in the last few years, but really not
Speaker 1: so much then. Um, I guess she was like for modeling,
Speaker 1: but now she's like really everyone knows who she is. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but um, yeah, everyone was just super sweet. As Seal
Speaker 1: was there. Um that's where we met Nick jonas Jordan's sparks. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all these people performing and it was it was a
Speaker 1: really really special night, you know, and that was really cool.
Speaker 1: That's some of the things about music is it takes
Speaker 1: you places that you could never really. Yeah. I never
Speaker 1: would have thought like, oh, I'm going to go to
Speaker 1: the White House and perform for a president, you know,
Speaker 1: had never even crossed my mind. So it's pretty clear
Speaker 1: on the Bachelorette do crazy stuff. We we got to
Speaker 1: do a lot of really amazing things, so I I'm
Speaker 1: so grateful for that. Did you guys go overseas? We did? Yeah,
Speaker 1: we did a lot of stuff overseas. We um went
Speaker 1: and did a whole uh Middle East and Europe tour
Speaker 1: for yeah, for Navy Entertainment, And we got to fly
Speaker 1: out onto these two aircraft carriers out in the Persian Gulf,
Speaker 1: and I mean it was it was such a wild
Speaker 1: experience and we were for sure. Yeah, yeah, you know
Speaker 1: in the Middle East. I mean it was it was
Speaker 1: pretty intense. Um, but you know, you go and you
Speaker 1: see what it was. It was hard. It was a
Speaker 1: really hard trip. It was about two weeks altogether. And
Speaker 1: you know, you see how these people, these men and
Speaker 1: women who are sacrificing everything for us, they worked so
Speaker 1: hard and it's endless and you know they they just
Speaker 1: all do it with such a positive attitude and it
Speaker 1: really gives you such perspective, you know. And so so
Speaker 1: we got to do that. We went to Dubouti, Africa,
Speaker 1: We went to Signella, Italy, and then with Taylor Swift,
Speaker 1: we went to Australia. So we we got to go
Speaker 1: around the world. That's incredibly cool. That's really incredible. Yeah. Okay,
Speaker 1: So I like to end my interviews with a little
Speaker 1: thing called leave your Light and basically just give me
Speaker 1: some inspiration that's either inspired you or that you live
Speaker 1: by or inspiring someone else. Oh okay, I gotta think
Speaker 1: about this, Okay, I think, you know, as far as
Speaker 1: just for me, you know, deciding to make this conscious, conscious,
Speaker 1: conscious decision to to do what I'm doing um, so
Speaker 1: much of that had to revolve around having a vision.
Speaker 1: And I think, just know what you want to do.
Speaker 1: You don't have to know the how you're going to
Speaker 1: do it, and just focus on that end result and
Speaker 1: focus on you know, what it is where, where it
Speaker 1: is that you want to end up, and what it
Speaker 1: is that you want to do, and just really see that,
Speaker 1: believe that and feel that. So you see you visualize, yes,
Speaker 1: you visualized the end. Yeah, and then just work towards that.
Speaker 1: I do. Yeah. So you think you need a clear picture,
Speaker 1: you have to. I don't even feel it, you know,
Speaker 1: I feel it. It's already yours exactly. And live your
Speaker 1: life as it is, you know. And honestly, a lot
Speaker 1: of that's a lot of what I have done, you know,
Speaker 1: and didn't even realize that I was doing it when
Speaker 1: I was younger, when I was a little girl, you know,
Speaker 1: And that's what led me to this point in time,
Speaker 1: you know. And I always saw this. I always saw it, Yeah, entertaining, singing, writing,
Speaker 1: and look at you now, look at your girl. Well
Speaker 1: we'll see. Oh you got it. You got that. That's
Speaker 1: gonna be great. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Rachel.
