We are here with the amazing Kaylee
0:02
Hanik. We haven't talked in I think a
0:03
hundred years.
0:04
Yeah, at least 100,
0:05
but we're both still 25, so it's fine.
0:08
Okay, so I we're gonna get to music for
0:10
you, but I love hearing you on your
0:12
radio show.
0:13
I love it so much. How did you get that
0:16
gig?
0:17
Uh, a fluke of a situation where
0:19
randomly Sirius XM had asked me to do
0:21
this show. It was a little acoustic
0:23
venture. It was me, Britney Spencer,
0:25
Mackenzie Carpenter, and Megan
0:28
And uh so they I mean the day before
0:30
they asked, "Would you host it? We need
0:32
someone to host it." And they sent over
0:34
a script and I said, "Sure." And I asked
0:36
before I said, "Is it going to be live
0:38
streamed or is it will I have breaks to
0:40
read these paragraphs?" And they said,
0:42
"You're going to have breaks." But
0:43
something in my gut said, "Learn the
0:45
script just in case. Learn the script."
0:47
We get there and it was a full live
0:50
stream of the show. Thankfully, I
0:52
remembered it. But I remember in that
0:54
moment going, I am doing so bad. This is
0:56
so embarrassing. they're never going to
0:58
ask me to host anything. And as I walked
1:00
out, two of the women that worked there
1:01
as programmers, they said, "You should
1:04
host your own show." And I said, "As
1:05
long as it was about old country music
1:07
and I could talk about the people I love
1:09
that came before me, I'd be game." And I
1:12
just laughed and walked out. And then
1:14
they reached out and said, "Actually, we
1:15
were wondering, would you sign a deal
1:17
with us and host one of our shows?" And
1:19
so we're on year three. And it's so
1:22
crazy to say that I was playing with Kip
1:25
Moore and Mano uh Minnesota and first
1:28
time ever there and a few girls came up
1:30
and they were very giddy and they said,
1:31
"Do you have a radio show?" And I said,
1:33
"Yes, I do." And they said, "We don't
1:35
know your music, but we recognize your
1:36
voice, your talking voice." And I had
1:39
never had that before. That was
1:41
You love that. Like I love that. I love
1:43
that you love country music so much. You
1:45
are like And you can hear it in your
1:47
voice. You're just a true country music
1:49
fan.
1:49
A thank you. And I love that. It's
1:51
really cool. You know, I think that we
1:52
get to keep everyone alive. I think
1:55
legends never die because the people
1:56
that come after them are so inspired by
1:58
them that they bring them up. I I just
2:00
text Laney last night. I said, "When
2:02
you're up there, think about Loretta and
2:04
Hank being with you. Think of Tammy and
2:05
Johnny because I do believe that they
2:07
come down. You know, their spirits come
2:09
down and get to enjoy this with us."
2:11
I love it. Okay, let's talk about new
2:12
music. What's happening with you?
2:14
So, I'm making a record. I'm about to
2:16
release two different Christmas songs.
2:17
One is with Tanal Towns and Fancy Hey
2:19
Good. One is just me and my boyfriend on
2:22
a guitar and mandolin on the fireplace
2:24
in my kitchen. But I'm doing some more
2:26
broke down stuff because I looked at
2:28
some of my stats online. I'm trying to
2:30
give the people what they want. And I
2:32
figured out that a lot of these acoustic
2:34
broke down versions of these songs that
2:36
I've released are the ones that are
2:37
connecting to the most people. So I'm
2:39
going to do a little acoustic broke down
2:41
EP and then after that do a full album
2:44
one. I've just been writing so much and
2:47
collecting them and so it's a really
2:49
good feeling to already be ready to make
2:51
that next record. So, we're already in
2:52
the pursuit of it.
2:53
You have the most beautiful voice. You
2:56
could literally sing the phone book.
2:59
Oh, thank you.
3:01
I think I threw out my phone book the
3:03
other day. I realized I was like, I
3:05
don't know if I'm ever going to need
3:06
this again. That felt funny and weird.
3:08
Dystopian really.
3:09
I love her. When can we expect this
3:11
music from you?
3:12
Springtime. springtime next year.
