(CSC) 1. Great to chat with you! So what’s new with Lady Antebellum?

(Lady Antebellum)

Well let’s see here. We were just in Los Angeles the night before last making our late night debut on Jimmy Kimmel which was a lot of fun! It was just a really cool experience. He was such a nice guy, and it wasn’t too nerve-racking. That was great, and then we just flew to Texas and played a show in Dallas, it was our first big show in Texas. Now we are in Ohio. We are just runnin’ around playing a bunch of shows at fairs and festivals, and gearing up for this fall for the CMT tour.        

(CSC) 2. Tell us about your latest video “Lookin’ for a Good Time.” How fun was it to make that video?

(Lady Antebellum)

It was SO much fun!! We actually shot that in Nashville in a warehouse type place. We just wanted to do something fun, and we all love that whole era of the 50’s clothes and all those variety shows. The set was exactly what we pictured in our heads. The guy who directed our first video, Chris Hicky who lives here in Nashville, directed the second video as well so it was great to be with him again, and work with him. The outfit I wore was a fringy blue dress, and I had to shake my hips a lot to make my dress move, (Laughs) and I do not know how the girls on “Dancing with the Stars” and Beyonce can just dance throughout a show every single night, night after night, after night in those 5 inch heels! It was one of the best workouts I’ve ever had. I thought to myself, gosh, I understand why all those stars on “Dancing with the Stars” end up losing weight and getting into awesome shape. It was fun; it was a lot of fun!          

(CSC) 3. You’ve been on some pretty fabulous tours this past year… what have you learned from working under people like Reba and Martina McBride?

(Lady Antebellum)

We really just watch their shows. We’re not the kind of people that just go sit on the bus when you have the opportunity to watch someone of that caliber; you go watch them, and you learn from them because they are just so seasoned and such professionals. That’s one thing that I always try to do. When we were out with Martina, I watched how she treats everybody in her company, everyone from her tour manager down to the caterers. She’s full of everybody basically, and it’s just how to treat people and make them happy, and make them work hard for you. It takes a lot of people to make it work. Those are probably the two biggest lessons I’ve learned.

(CSC) 4. That was pretty cool that you were able to duet with Reba on “Does He Love You” in Bloomington this past June, being that your mother made that a hit record with Reba!

(Lady Antebellum)

That was crazy fun! It was one of those things that was a once in a lifetime, and talk about the feeling of your life kind of coming full circle, you know. My mom wasn’t able to be there that night, but I told her all about it. It was just really special because Reba has seen me grow up in a way, and I know it had to be bizarre for her looking across the stage and seeing Linda’s daughter instead of Linda. (Laughs) It was awesome though. It’s definitely something I’ll never ever forget!

(CSC) 5. Do you ever have the chance to enjoy the city of Chicago when you’re here working? Maybe take a break to go shopping?

(Lady Antebellum)

Yeah! I love walking up and down Michigan Avenue whether or not I buy anything. (Laughs) I just love going into the shops and looking at everything. Gosh speaking of food, you always get a good meal anywhere you go in that town! We haven’t really had a ton of downtime there, but I hope to eventually, and really explore the city a little bit more. What I’ve seen of it thus far, is its really beautiful, and a lot of fun!    

(CSC) 6. What’s life been like for all of you on the road? Do you all share the same bus?

(Lady Antebellum)

Yeah, we’re all on one bus. There are ten of us on the bus and its close quarters, but we have a lot of fun! We have a great time. I was the only girl for a really long time on the road, and we just actually hired someone who’s selling our merchandise. She has been a god sent because it’s so nice to have another girl around, and not be surrounded by guys all the time as much as you are. (Laughs)     

(CSC) 7. What’s the most important thing your mother (Linda Davis) has taught you career-wise?

(Lady Antebellum)

I would have to say she always tells me to drink a lot of water. (Laughs) My mom is one of the most positive; glass is half full, type of people. She’s taught me to have a blast doing what we love most; being able to live out our dreams, and not to take life too seriously because you never know how long its gonna’ be.

(CSC) 8. In closing, what projects would you like to share with your fans that they can expect next from Lady Antebellum?!?

(Lady Antebellum)

We’re just really trying to promote the second single, “Lookin’ For A Good Time” and have a lot of fun out there doing it. Even though summer’s coming to a close, it’s just a fun song that people want to crank up in their car when it comes on the radio. The video just went to CMT and GAC so make sure to vote for it, and call your local radio station and request the song! We’re headed out this fall on the road with Jason Aldean on the CMT tour. We’re doing twenty dates with him all over so make sure to check out our website to see if there’s a show close by because we’d love to see our fans. Just come out and see our live show because we have a lot of fun!

(Country Stars Central)

Those CMT tours always get a really good response!

(Lady Antebellum)

Yeah! It will be fun. We’re doing a lot of shows all over the place, and I believe it wraps up in Maine. Jason Aldean is such an awesome performer, and he puts on such a high energy live show. He’s a Georgia boy like the guys, so I’m sure they’ll have fun hanging, and lord knows its football season, (Laughs) so I’m sure there’ll be many a barbeque watching the football game.
