Summary
We’re on a country music hot streak over here at Sorry We’re Cyrus, and this week’s guest is absolutely crushing it in the industry. Ashley Cooke went from growing up with the Cyrus fam to winning a CMT Award, hitting #1 on country radio, and taking over TikTok—but her journey wasn’t exactly by the book. She spills on the wild way she landed a record deal, the unexpected industry advice that changed everything, and why she had to fight to release her biggest hit — “Your Place.”
Plus, they get into the music industry tea—how TikTok is shaping careers, if country music is too pop, and whether aliens are lurking in lakes (yes, you read that right).
Oh, and did Tish get pressured into doing a cold plunge? Listen now to find out!
