* They wound up appearing on a number of TV shows, performed at the White House and appeared on the Disney show “Cory in the House.”

* Blaire moved to Nashville at age 18. Three of her singles have more than 200,000 streams on Spotify alone, including “Howdy,” a fun upbeat tune she released in 2024. Check out an acoustic version of “Howdy” below.

* In a Dirt Road Country podcast interview, Blaire says she has a wide range of inspirations in country music, including Cody Johnson, Maren Morris and Kelsea Ballerini. She grew up on Shania Twain and The Chicks.

* And more music is on the way. In a recent inteview with her hometown TV station about her upcoming appearance on The Voice, Blaire said: “I’ve been doing a lot of songwriting and I have a lot of great songs that I’m so happy to be in the process of recording right now. I have a couple up my sleeve so it’s going to be a big year for music for me.”
