I would definitely say I'm a country girl at heart; I wanted to make sure that I established my music first at Country just because that is the artist that I am.

You are Hannah, a lover of life, a strength to those who shared in your friendships. You are a dream, a creator of happiness, an artist who has touched a thousand souls.

You are a teacher of wonderful lessons, a dreamer of better things.
