I was listening to it, and \u2013 no joke \u2013 probably three days later, after I downloaded it, my team was like, \u2018Hey, there\u2019s this singer named Colton Dixon, and he has this awesome song.\u2019 And I was like, \u2018Oh, I already listen to it. And I love it.\u2019 So I absolutely wanted to jump on it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The 23-year-old is humble about her success. As a country musician, she\u2019s had two number-one hits on Billboard\u2019s Country Airplay chart and a third that reached the Top 10. In 2021, she collaborated with For King &amp; Country on \u201cGo Tell It On the Mountain,\u201d which charted on Billboard\u2019s Hot Christian Songs Chart. She told Christian Headlines, \u201cI was about 18 when I started reading the Bible and really just getting into it for myself. I am thankful the Lord has blessed me a lot in my life these past few years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/l03zlohkmQ0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>When asked if she wanted to make a Christian album, she said, \u201cI would love to do something like that in the future.\u201d She added that she and her husband, Cade, have considered making an album of hymns. She continued, \u201cAnd since faith is really the center of just who we are, I think you could definitely, rightfully so, expect something to do with that for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She also has won awards at the CMT Music Awards, Academy of Country Music Awards, and Billboard Music Awards. Barrett credits God for her career, saying, \u201cJesus has done so much in my life and conformed my life. I\u2019ve lived a lot of life in a short amount of time the past couple of years, and just seeing how following Him and being obedient to His Word the best that I can, is blessing my life. And to be able to share that message with other people and hopefully show them the love of God through sending His Son to die for us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She continued, \u201cI hope that that encourages people and can do a lot. And as I continue to do music, I hope that that always is my message and will strive to be. So I also hope that I can do some more things in the Christian music genre. I think it\u2019s really fun. And it connects to me and my family in a very strong way.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The country singer who rose to fame with songs like \u201cI Hope\u201d and \u201cGood Ones\u201d says her Christian faith is the focus of who she is, and she expects to release a Christian album soon.
