Lauren Alaina

The tour kicks off in February.

Is your No. 1 pick our No. 1 pick?

Alaina hadn't performed the national anthem in nearly 10 years, even though she'd been asked 'probably 50 times,' because of her fear.

'Wildflower', arrived on Oct. 11, 2011.

This was by far our most honest and revealing interview with Lauren yet.

Before Alaina made a name for herself in country music, she was just a regular high school student.

She knows a thing or two on the subject.

It's been a long road, but a worthwhile one.

She also shared an honest new song, "It Was Me."

The singer is ready to make her debut as an author.
