THR’s #NextBigThing: carterfaith⁠ ⁠ The 25-year-old rising country singer-songwriter has been cutting her teeth in Nashville for eight years; she’s released a few EPs and she finally released her debut album #CherryValley last October. And while she’s gotten some buzz — Ella Langley said last May that she’s “just one song away” from superstardom — only in the past month does it feel like that moment is feeling increasingly imminent.⁠ ⁠ “I feel like a fan who sneaked backstage, like ‘holy f---ing sh-t, I shouldn’t be here. Billy [Bob Thornton] told me something before, that any good creative wakes up every day hoping they’re gonna make the thing that they remembered for forever. I thought that was beautiful, and that reminds me of why I do this. And if I can remember what keeps me going like that, I think it keeps me grounded in that honest dream.”⁠ ⁠ Full interview at the link in bio.
