10 Questions for Lauren Alaina:
1. You’ve had a heck of a year (and more)! What was your favorite moment?
There are seriously so many pinch me moments! If I relate this question to touring, I would say when I was on tour with Jason Aldean I got to sing “Dont You Wanna Stay” with him during his set. It was incredible!
2. Your debut album is amazing! What was your favorite part of the recording process?
I love the whole vibe of being in the studio. I get to be free and just simply be me. I like to try new things and push myself. It’s always fun to hear back the finished product after you work so hard.
3. Which of your songs do you enjoy performing live the most?
My favorite song to do live is probably “Tupelo“. The live version is a lot different than the record. That is probably what is so fun about doing songs live. We worked up some changes and it’s sooo much fun.
4. Since your time of American Idol, a lot has changed. What in your life has stayed the same?
My family and friends are still as close to me as they were before, and that’s super important to me.

I like to be at home and just enjoy time with friends and family.
6. What are your plans for the future?
I strive everyday to be the best person I can be. I take my life day by day. I don’t know exactly what the future holds but I’m completely prepared for it. I am a senior in high school so I am definitely thinking about my academic future. I just have to determine what path will work best for me.
