“I didn’t know all that much about Blake Shelton when I met him back around 2002 or so. I was working at Dave and Busters in Nashville and got to wait on him one night. I didn’t get to talk to him all that much, but he was really down to earth and took the time to make me feel like he was genuinely interested in me, asking about where I grew up and what part of town I was living in now. He just seemed authentic, not fake like some other artists I’ve seen.
After that, I started listening to his music more and more, and now he’s one of my all time favorite artists. The songs I like best are “Sangria” and “Go Ahead and Break My Heart”. But the one I have the strongest emotional connection to is “Over You”, which he wrote with Miranda Lambert about losing his brother. My Grandma passed away about 15 years ago. And every time I hear that song, I still tear up, thinking about her, and all the family and friends that I’ve lost. Wishing they were still here with me.”
