“2018 has been my favorite year so far and we aren’t even halfway through. I am so thankful for the champions I’ve found in Nashville who have made this year possible and opened some pretty incredible doors for me,” said Shorr. “From CMT to Apple Music, Radio Disney Country, the Grand Ole Opry, and now Taste of Country- I couldn’t be more thankful for the support I have behind me!”

Shorr’s newest single, “Candy,” is already in rotation at Radio Disney Country and was just added to Apple Music’s “Cool Country” playlist. The song’s Instant Grat video just premiered on VEVO. Watch it here.

“Candy was one of the most fun songs to record on the album, but I really fell in love with it after playing it on tour. I’ve had so many ideas buzzing around my head for the visuals of this song and I couldn’t be more excited for this to be the next single,” said Shorr. 

On Thursday night (May 17), Shorr made her Ryman Auditorium debut on Opry Country Classics alongside Spotlight Artist Lorrie Morgan, Michael Ray, Jimmy Fortune and the show’s host, Larry Gatlin. She performed two classic female songs: Kitty Wells’ “It Wasn’t God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels” and Bobby Gentry’s “Ode To Billie Joe.”
