June 7, 2022 – For Wade, 27, hearing personal stories about the ways in which her fans have connected to her music is inspiring.
“I think that’s a beautiful thing,” she says. “It makes me happy that that song gets people talking and they don’t feel so alone. I think as a songwriter, from the exterior, I look really tough, the tattoos and everything like that. And then, even my music is vulnerable. It’s good not to pretend like everything’s so great. I think that’s how we start talking about things, is we find someone else that feels the same way we do.” Wade, who is the Opry NextStage artist for the month of June, released her album Reckless in March 2021, and made her Grand Ole Opry debut in April.
She says things have been “incredible” since putting out Reckless, and that the critical acclaim and success took her by surprise.
“We didn’t set out like, this has to have a radio single, or this has to get this or this,” she says. “We set out to make a record we believed in and to see that hard work pay off and everything come back around in a good way has been amazing; it’s changed my life.”
