All Our Favorite People

Ryan Hurd is here to talk about his latest EP, EOM, which features his hit, “Every Other Memory,” and songs he’s written for other artists like “What If I Never Get Over You”, which became a #1 for Lady A, and “Heartless” by Diplo featuring Morgan Wallen. We talk about the importance of expanding your worldview and the lessons he’s learned on his journey to becoming a hit songwriter. He also tells us about how he and his wife, Maren Morris, have settled into their lives as new parents to their son Hayes, who was born in March. We also get into Ryan’s role as a budding fashion icon, the reasoning behind him covering Taylor Swift songs, and why it is so important to he and Maren to speak truthfully about how they see the world.

Kelsea Ballerini and her manager, Jason Owen, sit down with us to talk about their plans for Kelsea’s upcoming third album, featuring the powerful lead single, “homecoming queen?.” Kelsea also gives us the details on her growing friendship with Halsey and their upcoming CMT Crossroads special, we talk about the hardest question she gets asked and so much more. Jason tells us how he navigates the careers of clients Faith Hill, Little Big Town, Kacey Musgraves and Dan + Shay, how saying “no” can be way more powerful than saying “yes” in developing an artist’s career, and gives us some details on the new scripted TV drama he’s co-executive producing for FOX.
