Lauren Alaina plays Fishing for Answers at Billboard‘s Country Live event.

Lauren Alaina:
Hey, I’m Lauren Alaina, and I’m going Fishing for Answers with Billboard.

Who are some emerging country artists that you think people should listen to? Hailey Whitters, Jason Aldean is pretty good. I really like BRELAND. Big fan of BRELAND. He can sing, I mean like so great.

Where’s the craziest place you’ve ever ran into a fan? Probably the bathroom. That’s always an interesting one. Like, when I’m at Walmart and I pop into the bathroom and people ask me for a picture. Don’t do that, by the way. Like, let’s go out of the bathroom. Oh, or a funeral. That just happened to me, actually. Someone asked me for a picture at a funeral. And I said, “I don’t think that would be very nice of either one of us.”

First celebrity crush? Probably, Usher.

Recording or touring? Touring. No doubt. I love being on stage.

Who would you love to collaborate with on your next album? Lainey Wilson.

What is the most country thing you’ve ever done? I don’t think I’ve ever done anything that isn’t country. I am just country. I went mudding at night, which wasn’t smart. But we got stuck until, like, four o’clock in the morning. That was pretty country.
