Why do you think collaborations are having a moment in country music?

I honestly don’t understand why it took this long — in other genres, that’s been happening for years. I don’t think people realize what you have to go through to get another artist on a different label on a song. But now [there are] collaborations on everything. I’ve got another one with HARDY on my new album coming out [April 8]. I think it’s opening doors to be able to work with other artists, and other genres, even. Having a different artist is a bigger appeal to fans.
