Cody Alan isn't the only one adding "author" to his resume. Lauren Alaina is set to release her own hardcover manuscript.
'Getting Good at Being You: Learning To Love Who God Made You To Be' will arrive on shelves on November 2nd, 2021, and will share her journey in the spotlight, include behind-the-scenes photos from Lauren's career in country music, along with lists, tips and practical strategies for boosting self-confidence.
Lauren made the announcement on social media the best way she knew how – with a punny caption.
"Be sure to BOOK your calendars for November 2nd," Lauren teased on Instagram. "I'm releasing my WRITE of passage, Getting Good At Being You. Can't wait for you to read it. It's available for preorder online everywhere books are sold and on shelves in November. Thank you times a million to Trisha Yearwood for writing the foreword."
In an interview with Cody Alan, Lauren dished details behind her relationship with Trisha Yearwood.
"She is my childhood, ya know?" Lauren opens up. "Growing up in the nineties, it was Trisha. There were multiple women, but she was such a prominent voice on the radio. I remember singing her songs in singing competitions and just loving her."
"It's always scary to meet one of your heroes because you have an idea of who they are in your head. Not that someone might not be a good person, but we have worked out what they would be like. You know what I mean?" Lauren continues.
"I met her at an award show, and I sang with her, and we all shared a dressing room. It was a female performance, and it was really powerful and amazing. And we started talking about food and our love for food, and I just remember thinking, "Wow! She is everything I would ever want her to be." While we were there, she asked me to come on her cooking show," shared the "Getting Good" singer. "While we were there cooking, she sang a part of "Getting Good" and surprised me while we were in the kitchen. She calls me JUNIOR now, like TRISHA JUNIOR!"
Lauren highlights this life milestone by saying, "Hearing her sing my song, I cry every time I hear it because that voice shaped my voice so much."
"You know what I thought of?" Lauren asks Cody. "Oh my gosh. Have Trisha Yearwood and Garth Brooks listened to my song in their living room?" I bet they have! The thought of that gives me a heart attack. "Garth Brooks has listened to me in HIS HOUSE!" giggles the "Road Less Traveled" singer.
The chances that Trisha and Garth will read Lauren's book in their living room are pretty likely.
