I find her to be one down to earth doll. I see no pretentiousness in this pretty little lady.

[@MichaelMartinez-zo2it]

Wish she would enhance her voice while singing like when she's speaking.

[@michaelpanga1009]

so basically you're the long-lost sister of sheldon, missy and georgie cooper

[@ladybluegrass4173]

She looks just like her memaw

[@Lionheartgirl]

She grew up singing because she was around it all the time. Just like of your dad is a doctor you are more likely to become one or go into the medical field. Honestly her voice is mediocre. She’s nothing special.

[@jadebeaut4463]

It’s like most singers as they grow up singing at young age
