What did Blake say to you right after you won?
He just said, "Congratulations, honey." He’s been so great. He’s been one of my biggest supporters since the beginning, and I’ve been one of his. So it was really cool that I got to share the stage with him. I felt very honored.

What does "This Is My Now," the last song you sang on the show and your first single, mean to you?
It’s actually so perfect because I remember sitting down when we got the song, and I was listening to it and I couldn’t believe how perfect it was for just this whole process in general because it totally relates to what I’ve been dreaming about and just everything about it. It was so perfect, and I love singing it because it spoke to me that way.
