Luke Combs has had a meteoric rise to fame; just a few years after learning to play guitar, he's one of the hottest stars in country music.

As Luke told us, it's like a dream, "Man, it doesn’t seem real to me I think a lot of the time. I just had six weeks off, the first time off I’ve had since I signed my deal really. And I would love to say that I sat around and looked at all the things in my house and told everybody about how great it was, but I really just found that I wanted to move forward in the best way possible."

He added, "I’m just super, super thankful for everything that’s happened so far, and I’m definitely not asking questions as to why it happened or trying to remake any of that magic, whatever that may have been. I spent six weeks spending time with my fiancé, with my friends from high school. I spent two weeks writing songs, I probably wrote 20 songs in the last month, so that was a really fun experience to really sit down and do that."

Nancy Brooks has been working in the country music industry for almost 30 years. She has interviewed pretty much any country star you can think of. In the late 1990s, she started working with Dolly Parton. And yes, Nancy reports that Parton is as sweet as you would think. She loves her life in country music and has been backstage at every CMA Awards show since the late 1990s. Many of her stories are from her one-on-one interviews. She was there at the beginning of the incredible careers of many music superstars today, including Taylor Swift, Shania Twain, and Blake Shelton, and has interviewed them multiple times throughout the years.
