1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:02,720 Speaker 1: Hey guys, I'm Kayleie Shore and this is too much 2 00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:19,200 Speaker 1: to say it out you. So this week I got 3 00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,319 Speaker 1: to get back on the road again. Kind of it 4 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:24,759 Speaker 1: was different, it was weird, but I really really really 5 00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,160 Speaker 1: had fun and it was super special to be back 6 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,640 Speaker 1: out there. I mean, it's just so crazy to like 7 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,000 Speaker 1: think about the fact that there was a time when 8 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,879 Speaker 1: I would get on a plane almost every weekend and 9 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 1: fly somewhere I've never been before, play a show or 10 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,479 Speaker 1: even something like a lot of the time to driving 11 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 1: across the US and a van and you know, just 12 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,720 Speaker 1: waking up and somewhere completely different. And that was always 13 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,199 Speaker 1: really crazy too, and that was my lifestyle, you know, 14 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 1: like I'd done that for the past five years. As 15 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 1: soon as Fight Like a Girl came out, I really 16 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 1: started touring like my arch of sixteen. And uh, yeah, 17 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 1: it's been a weird adjustment to be home and and 18 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 1: learn how to be home and wake up in the 19 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,759 Speaker 1: same place every day, aside from like the occasional night 20 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 1: spend at my boyfriend's house and even so we usually 21 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 1: stay on mine, um because I have two cats and 22 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,319 Speaker 1: a king's eyes pen so what else could you want, 23 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,959 Speaker 1: you know? But yeah, it was so weird, but it 24 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 1: was like really amazing because I got to go with 25 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,040 Speaker 1: my best friend Candy Carpenter and my new friend Kaylin Robertson. 26 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,319 Speaker 1: We played songs suffer jets together for a while, but 27 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 1: I had never gotten to truly bond with her like that. 28 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 1: And nothing will make you bond more than you know, 29 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 1: going to Florida together, and we just had a blast. 30 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: A lot of things look different about this particular show, 31 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: and they were able to do it so safely. I 32 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: was so impressed with like how thorough it was. But 33 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 1: we got there as soon as we landed. We drove 34 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 1: straight to the country club that the show was held at, 35 00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 1: and we did rapid tests. We got those back like 36 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 1: that night, so we would know if we were cleared 37 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 1: to play or not. UM. I believe all of us 38 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: have antibodies, if I'm correct, So we definitely felt pretty 39 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 1: safe to be there UM at this point in time. 40 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,359 Speaker 1: And every time we went into the building, they had 41 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 1: these really cool like they looked like iPads, but they 42 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: detected your temperature, so you just stood in front of it, 43 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,359 Speaker 1: got your temperature and then you could walk in if 44 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 1: you were under a certain amount. And I didn't see 45 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: anybody who was over it. UM. It was also really 46 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 1: cool because we were playing for an older crowd than 47 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 1: we normally would um in Florida, and most of them 48 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,959 Speaker 1: had the vaccine already and this was their first time 49 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 1: going out after getting it, which I can't even imagine 50 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,639 Speaker 1: how exciting that must be because when you're a high risk, 51 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 1: you know, member of society and knowing that this is 52 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 1: just lurking everywhere. I mean, so many people I know 53 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 1: we're still getting their groceries delivered, and I just this 54 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 1: must have been so special for them, because, you know, 55 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: I've been able to go out to restaurants for a 56 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 1: little a little while now, and it still feels incredible, 57 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: like just to go now that it's patio season, to like, 58 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,639 Speaker 1: ple just go sit on a patio and like eat 59 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 1: food I didn't make for myself. I'm never going to 60 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 1: take that for granted ever again. At the same time, though, 61 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 1: I cook at home a lot more than I used to, 62 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:14,360 Speaker 1: and I think a lot of that has to do 63 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: with not being on the road because I never had 64 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: time to get groceries, and if I did get groceries, 65 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 1: they you know, I'd be home for like three days, 66 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,359 Speaker 1: come home five days later and all my vegetables have 67 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,079 Speaker 1: already gone back. So it's been weird to like have groceries. 68 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: I think it's going to kind of bump me out 69 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 1: getting back on the road and not being able to 70 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 1: have like food at my fridge when I get home. 71 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 1: That's like a weird symptom of touring that you don't 72 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 1: really think about. But yeah, it's not not ideal, but 73 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: um yeah, so I'm not going to take that for 74 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: granted again. And I've gotten to see a few live 75 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: shows in Nashville, have gotten to play several and that's 76 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: been really good for the heart. But you know, seeing 77 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 1: these people who, for the first time in a year 78 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 1: felt safe, and one of the women actually because you know, 79 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 1: I mean, if you can get an appointment to go 80 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 1: get the vaccine like that, you gotta go whenever they 81 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: tell you. You know, you can't be like m that 82 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 1: doesn't work for me, Like you just go. And this, uh, 83 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 1: this woman had to leave, like she got to the show, 84 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: like had dinner or whatever, and then we weren't going 85 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: on until like when they were eating dessert because obviously 86 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,159 Speaker 1: everything was seated, and um, she had to she ate dinner, 87 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 1: like ran to go get her vaccine because that was 88 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,600 Speaker 1: when her appointment was and she had to drive from 89 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,359 Speaker 1: um Boynton Beach, Florida to Boco, a town, which is 90 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 1: pretty far, and she like raced back and made it 91 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:29,840 Speaker 1: during our second song, which was so funny. But I 92 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: was like, you are allowed to get up and and 93 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: go run and do that, absolutely, ma'am. But yeah, it 94 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: was just amazing to see them all feel feel safe 95 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 1: and be able to enjoy themselves. And it was the 96 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 1: first event that the club had held, like people had 97 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: been doing golf out there and you know, being able 98 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: to do that, but like really the way that this 99 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: show lined up with people getting vaccinated was incredible, and 100 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 1: everybody at the club was just so thorough and it 101 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: was really really special. Another thing was like another symptom 102 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 1: of playing a show, and uh, you know almost post 103 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: code in the world was you know, we knew we 104 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,799 Speaker 1: weren't ana able to go out a whole lot, and 105 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: I at me, Candy and Kaylin, like we went and 106 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 1: got dinner at this really really great dark place that 107 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 1: was fun, and you know, we were able to like 108 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 1: eat food at the club, which was like incredible. I 109 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: had like scollops every night. It was amazing. I'm mostly 110 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 1: a vegetarian, but if they're seafood around, I'll eat it. 111 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 1: Scollops don't have eyes, so it's it's a lot easier 112 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,600 Speaker 1: to do that. Um. But anyway, so they knew that 113 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: we weren't gonna able to go out a whole lot, 114 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 1: so they got a s an airbnb with a pool, 115 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 1: which was super rad. And I was like, okay, cool, Like, 116 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 1: if from touring and they want to do that a 117 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 1: little bit more often, wouldn't be upset about it. But honestly, like, 118 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 1: we were just so happy to be there and there's nothing, Oh, 119 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,599 Speaker 1: there's just nothing like like I love the fast paced 120 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,600 Speaker 1: lifestyle of running around and living out of a suitcase, 121 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 1: and I just had missed it so much. I've had 122 00:05:55,480 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 1: my shows rescheduled like three times because I had three 123 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 1: different tours that I was going on this time last year, 124 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,280 Speaker 1: like you know, the beginning of COVID, and obviously they 125 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 1: all got rescheduled. But I was about to go. I'd 126 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 1: started my first ever headlining tour, called it too much 127 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,159 Speaker 1: just to stay tour, and that was me touring Open 128 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 1: Book and playing all the songs from the album, and 129 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: that was amazing. I got to do opening night at 130 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 1: Exit in Nashville, which was a bucket list moment for 131 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 1: me because it's one of my favorite venues of all time. Um. 132 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: Then I got to do Um Hotel Cafe in Los Angeles, 133 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: and then I got to play at Stoney's Rock and 134 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 1: Country in Vegas, which I actually am going to be 135 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 1: back at very very soon. I'll announced that on my 136 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,599 Speaker 1: social media, but um, it's going to be a really 137 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,600 Speaker 1: really fun show. I think I'm doing two nights at 138 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:45,280 Speaker 1: Stoney's next month, so stay tuned. But I love playing there, 139 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 1: and so that was really special to get to take 140 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: my tour to those three separate venues and whatnot. But 141 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,279 Speaker 1: then I came back to Nashville and literally the weekend 142 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 1: that everything closed down last year, I was supposed to 143 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,359 Speaker 1: go to New York, and we were like literally flying 144 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: by the seat of our pants, like waiting to see 145 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 1: and like I I mean, I literally was like hours 146 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 1: away from getting on a plane and going and we 147 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 1: just like listened to health officials and we're like, yeah, 148 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 1: it's probably not smart. And I was supposed to play 149 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 1: Mercury Lounge in New York, which is also a bucket 150 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: list thing for me, and that was just going to 151 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 1: be so incredible. And then I was supposed to play 152 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 1: the Palace Theater in Connecticut and Stanford, and then I 153 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 1: was going to play the Wolfton at mohegansun in Uncasville, Connecticut, 154 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 1: which is like one of me and my band's favorite 155 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 1: venues to play because like they hook us up with 156 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 1: food vouchers and like the food there's so good. Like 157 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 1: I think there's like a Wolfgang Pop restaurant and we 158 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 1: just go to town and it's like so beautiful, the 159 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: like they have shopping in there, and it's just it's 160 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 1: very it's a very bougie time. And also like normally 161 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 1: we get paired up or dribbled up into hotel rooms 162 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 1: and at that one, we all have our own and 163 00:07:54,880 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 1: so we're just like live live. So the way that 164 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: it worked out that weekend back in was we could 165 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 1: have played the Uncasville show because technically it's on Native 166 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 1: American land, so they didn't have to go buy the 167 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 1: ordinances that Connecticut had set like literally the day before. 168 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 1: But the way touring works is, you know, you have 169 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 1: one show that pays high, and then you route the 170 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 1: smaller shows that you really want to play around it. 171 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 1: So that was like the big show, and then the 172 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: other two were like you know, a percentage of the 173 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 1: door and like you know, you're not going to walk 174 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 1: away with as much. And I was like, ship, well, 175 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 1: when these get rescheduled, like, logistically, I can't go play 176 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: two shows that you know, don't don't make as much, 177 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: like I need to have the big earner, and then 178 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 1: like use that to play the other ones. And so 179 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 1: I was like, I guess we'll just reschedule, which is 180 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 1: a huge bumber because I love playing there. Now those 181 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,680 Speaker 1: are rescheduled for June, and I'm very hopeful with the 182 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:04,679 Speaker 1: way that things are rolling out with the vaccine and 183 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 1: the numbers going down, that we will be able to 184 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,959 Speaker 1: do those shows. So stay tuned. They're on my website. 185 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 1: I'm crossing my fingers because they were rescheduled for October, 186 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 1: than they were rescheduled for this March, and now they've 187 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: been rescheduled for June. But I'm very very hopeful hopeful. Now, 188 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,960 Speaker 1: what's weird about that is that it's no longer going 189 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: to be the too much to say tour for me. 190 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 1: I don't know what it's going to be called, but 191 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 1: I have a new EP that I'm working on that's 192 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 1: coming out. I have Amy, I have all these songs 193 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 1: from TikTok. I, you know, still want to play songs 194 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 1: off Open Book. I'm so proud of that record. But 195 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 1: the Open Book era is over. So it's weird to, 196 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 1: you know, go back to touring it because it's been 197 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:48,080 Speaker 1: a full year. And the last show I saw before 198 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 1: COVID was Dan and Shay's second night of their arena 199 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 1: tour in Nashville, and it was so amazing. And I 200 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 1: think about that all the time because it was their 201 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,680 Speaker 1: first ever arena tour and they've been planning it and 202 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 1: had everything like matched up to their album, and you know, 203 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 1: you plan all these these video screens, and you plan 204 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 1: the transitions and the special guests and the openers, and 205 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,079 Speaker 1: so now that they're just not gonna be able to 206 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 1: have that tour, I mean, I should probably go to bed. 207 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 1: Wasn't even out And now that's like one of their 208 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 1: biggest smashes ever and it's such a great song, and 209 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 1: I'm glad You Exist is so great too. I'm a 210 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,560 Speaker 1: big Dan in Cha fan. But you know, they they're 211 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 1: going to have a completely different arena tour so that 212 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 1: tour that they had planned, they got to do two 213 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 1: nights and then they kind of had to like you know, 214 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 1: lay it down to rest and just kind of let that, 215 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 1: let that go and that dream go, which is really 216 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,080 Speaker 1: really sad. And you know, I know they're absolutely gonna 217 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 1: be able to do another arena tour as I'm you know, 218 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,679 Speaker 1: about to resume my first headlining tour. But I mean, 219 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,320 Speaker 1: I got three dates of too much to say, and 220 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,560 Speaker 1: now I don't know what this next one is going 221 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 1: to be, but I'm very excited to find out. Oh 222 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:52,959 Speaker 1: I actually just had an idea. Oh my god, I 223 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 1: had an idea for the title. Okay, I can't say it, 224 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 1: but oh that's gonna be cool, all right, cool, just 225 00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 1: talking to myself on my podcast. Don't worry, guys, no ideal. 226 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,560 Speaker 1: The hardest thing about not being able to tour is 227 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 1: that that's the majority of where musicians make their money. 228 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: I mean, I literally got a statement from a streaming 229 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:14,679 Speaker 1: service that you know, I mean it's like tens of 230 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 1: thousands of streams and it's like not even like twenty 231 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 1: for the songwriting side of things, like you get more 232 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 1: for performing them, like the quote unquote master if you 233 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 1: guys have been following anything with Taylor Swift and you 234 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: understand what that is. But the songwriting royalties are just 235 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 1: like literally pennies, and I'm like, that sucks. So, you know, 236 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 1: the big checks I get that allow me to you know, exist, 237 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:45,320 Speaker 1: and microhoceteries and bay rent are usually from placements of 238 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 1: songs and TV shows or commercials and touring. And so 239 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,080 Speaker 1: it's been really you know hard because I have a 240 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,320 Speaker 1: publishing deal. But I also when I was negotiating that deal, 241 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 1: like you have to. It's in advance, you have to 242 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 1: pay everything back, and so I opted to take less 243 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:06,080 Speaker 1: money and retain more of my publishing like um, in 244 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 1: order to like, you know, own part of it, which 245 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,600 Speaker 1: some people don't like. You always have your fifty percent 246 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 1: writers sharing fifty percent publishers share, but I have part 247 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 1: of my publishers share as well, which is really really 248 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 1: awesome and super artist friendly and I love level of 249 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 1: my publishing company. But you know, you don't want to 250 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 1: take an exorbitant amount for your advance because you have 251 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:25,559 Speaker 1: to pay it all back and that's less money you're 252 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 1: making in the long run. And I also was like 253 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:29,559 Speaker 1: negotiating this contract and I was like, oh my god, 254 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be touring and be super fine like whatever 255 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,960 Speaker 1: want want wop wop wop. Did not work out that way, 256 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 1: but it definitely was was really hard because the salary 257 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 1: of a songwriter for your first few deals is not 258 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 1: anything super impressive, and you know, I don't have the 259 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 1: royalties of a hit song coming in yet yet. So 260 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 1: for so many reasons, I'm so excited to get back 261 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 1: on the road. I mean, it's definitely going to make 262 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,839 Speaker 1: things easier on me financially as far as like having 263 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,439 Speaker 1: money to you know, do music videos. And the one 264 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 1: thing that's really saved me is I did sign a 265 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 1: record deal. And the next thing about that is like 266 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 1: they paid for you to do those things, which is 267 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 1: really cool, But there's still so many things that like 268 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 1: go outside this space of a record deal and like 269 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 1: things that like they might not approve but I still 270 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 1: want to do and like that's super reasonable. They don't 271 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 1: have to just like you know, like money on fire 272 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 1: and the name of my career. I can do that, 273 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,960 Speaker 1: just find myself. So it's gonna be really great. But 274 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 1: also even more importantly than that, because I have been 275 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 1: able to make it work and God, knows how, but um, 276 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,200 Speaker 1: I just was so happy to be back out in 277 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,320 Speaker 1: front of people and playing songs of her jets has 278 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 1: been amazing. I really love being back there. And the 279 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,599 Speaker 1: anniversary show is Monday, the March twenty nine, which is 280 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 1: gonna be really really cool. But you've got asked to 281 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 1: me bride into Neil Arts. So if you're hearing this before, 282 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 1: make sure you tune in or buy tickets in Nashville. 283 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:52,839 Speaker 1: If you're tuning in after, the live stream is already 284 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 1: up so you can listen to that and it's going 285 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 1: to be really really cool. So it just feels so 286 00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 1: good for the soul. And I think that I can 287 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:00,320 Speaker 1: speak for a lot of my artists for when I 288 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,680 Speaker 1: say this. But if I didn't know how much I 289 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:06,720 Speaker 1: love performing, twenty taught me that, and it taught me 290 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 1: how much I like need to do it in order 291 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 1: to feel sane and in order to feel like myself. 292 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,079 Speaker 1: And I think there was a period of time where, 293 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 1: you know, I I've put a lot of my identity 294 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 1: and my self confidence on who I am as an 295 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 1: artist in my career, and you know, maybe that's healthy, 296 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 1: maybe it isn't, but it is how it is. I mean, 297 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 1: my music is so close to my heart and it's 298 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 1: so representative of who I am, and you know the 299 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 1: world that's inside my head, and so you know, of 300 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 1: course I'm going to really really base my identity off 301 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 1: of that. So when you know, Kaylee Shore kind of 302 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 1: disappeared last year and I was just Kaylee Anne Francis Shore. Um, 303 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 1: it was weird, you know, I don't know, it felt 304 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 1: like I was missing half of myself. So it's just 305 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 1: been amazing to get back out there and do it. 306 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 1: And for me, songwriting has always come first. Like I 307 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 1: moved to Nashville to be a songwriter and I wanted 308 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 1: to sing my own songs. But like, I just want 309 00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 1: to write songs every day. That's it. That's my am, 310 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 1: that's what I That's my entire dream and the fact 311 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 1: that I get to sing them and that people listen 312 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 1: is absolutely mind blowing. But the songwriting always came first, 313 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 1: and I fell in love with touring and performing over time. 314 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 1: I used to get really really bad stage right, and 315 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 1: I'm sure I'm going to for the next like, you know, 316 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 1: a few shows that I'm doing because I'm kind of 317 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 1: getting back in the swing of it. But I really 318 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 1: fell in love with it taught me that and um, yeah, 319 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 1: I can't wait to get back out and hug you guys. 320 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 1: I'm a big hugger. So let's be safe, let's you know, 321 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 1: take care of ourselves, and let's get back to a 322 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 1: better world.
