This is What it’s Like to Listen to a Taylor Swift Album for the First Time
In August of 2017, my sister and I leaned into one another, a headphone in each of our ears. We were sitting in a high section of the Honda Center in Anaheim, CA, waiting for Dierks Bentley to go on stage. The room was echoing with people going to and from their seats. The clock… Continue reading

This Post Was Brought to You By Amy Grant
The living room is empty. My dad is at work and my mom is in the other room, maybe cleaning or reading or talking on the phone. I am eight years old, and I am in the mood to dance. I sift through the CDs on the shelf, press the power button on the stereo,… Continue reading

Why Finding Your Own Voice Can Help Everyone
Not too long ago, I did a thorough cleaning of my house in which I gave away things I didn’t use, threw away things that were broken, and, more than anything, found things I forgot I had. One such thing was a book called “Music Listography,” which I’m pretty sure I impulse bought from Target,… Continue reading

What I Learned from My First Stagecoach Festival
This past weekend I went to the Stagecoach Country Music Festival for the first time. Leading up to it, I didn’t know what to expect. Stagecoach is held in the same venue as Coachella, which I’d actually been to before to watch my brother play lacrosse, but even so, I really had no idea what… Continue reading

If I Were on Carpool Karaoke
Unlike most guests, I obviously wouldn’t have a successful discography to sing along to as James Corden and I drove around downtown Los Angeles, thus making the call from The Late Late Show rather surprising. Had they heard my music turned up to a volume that blocked out my voice, thus leading me (and possibly… Continue reading
