Listen, I usually try to avoid crying on the internet at all costs but today I am making an exception because REBA FREAKING MCENTIRE CUT MY SONG 😭

This video was taken when I got the call in 2023 that Reba cut “One Night in Tulsa”. I had just left the gym (that’s why I look so fabulous) and had to pull over because I was crying so hard. A lot of time has passed since that day but that raw emotion of finding out all those years of cutting my teeth on music row was finally being recognized I still carry today. I guess it really is a 10 year town. 

This song was written in January of 2018 with Thom McHugh and Neal Coty at an office in Berry Hill. I didn’t sleep for a few nights after writing that song. It felt like the kind of song that could change my life and I think that scared the crap out of me. I went on to record it and this song has been with me across the country playing small dive bars with a few people in the room to arenas opening up for bigger artists. It’s always been the one that turns heads and locks people in and it I still can’t believe it made its way to the hands of the Queen of Country Music. 

This moment is even sweeter because it’s celebrated with so many amazing people. I have to thank Liz Morin, Ronna Reeves and Cindy Owen for being bad ass champions of songs and scoring this cut for me. Allen Mitchell and Erv Woolsey for believing in my artistry enough to hire Showbiz Row to pitch my songs. Carnival Music for fighting the good fight with me. My current management for absolutely kicking ass for me. My parents and fiancé for the support to pursue a career in country music. And of course last but not least Neal Coty and Thom McHugh. I am forever grateful for every time I got to sit in a room with the two of the best songwriters in town. 

I’ve already gone on too long but I have to say.. the little girl who sang the National Anthem at all those rodeos she was entered in with the hopes of following in Reba’s footsteps is grinning ear to ear. Thank you Jesus and Reba for this full circle moment 😭

Man, The Years are Short is one of my very favorite songs I've ever recorded and I'm so grateful that y'all are loving it too. I want to say a huge thanks to @casey_martin_beathard and @monty.criswell for writing this amazing song. Songwriters are the heart of Nashville and country music. Thanks to everyone who listened and shared today. I couldn't be more excited for this next chapter. #newmusic #countrymusic #songwriter
