Gabby Barrett preps for massive Pittsburgh crowds – “Oh my gosh, it’s insane,” she says. “I’m going to give you the layout of what my schedule looks like: I’m in Nashville right now.

I used to want to comment on every one of those I’ve seen,” she laughs during an interview with her label, Big Machine Label Group. “But I just have to tell myself, they’d never say this in person.
