Priscilla Block plays Fishing for Answers at Billboard’s Country Live event.
Priscilla Block:
Hey, it’s Priscilla Block, and I’m going Fishing for Answers with Billboard. Let’s fish!
“Who was your musical inspiration growing up?” I would say it was a blend between a lot of people. Obviously, I love Taylor Swift, Shania Twain — hence the cheetah! And, you know, there’s a lot of rap in there too. Like, you know, big Cardi B fan. Super country to rap.
OK. Fishy, fishy. “Where’s the craziest place you’ve ever run into a fan?” It’s typically like Walmart, Dollar General, or, like, gas stations in the middle of nowhere, and you’re like … I will get out. I remember there was one time I got out of the van and I was, like, so hungover. And I looked so bad, like, no one would ever know. Well, they knew as soon as I got out of the van. They were like, “Are you Priscilla Block?” I’m like, “That I am.” I wish I wasn’t.
“Who made you the most starstruck?” There are some people that know the story, but for those of you that don’t, I was the girl that Taylor Swift pulled over on the side of the road because I was wearing her T-shirt. And I was working at a yogurt shop at the time and Taylor Swift was driving by. That day I was considering leaving Nashville and kind of giving up on this dream and I was leaving work and I happen to be wearing a Taylor Swift T-shirt and she was driving by and saw me. She pulled her car over and literally stopped her car in the middle of the road and was like, “Hey, like I love your shirt so much.” And it was just the best, like, everything that I needed that day to keep going and yeah. So here’s to Taylor Swift changing our lives forever.
