We all know him or have heard this name. Some may even know him from the bluegrass-based band SteelDrivers. He was the first award winner at the 2016 CMA's winning Music Video of the Year, along with winning Male Vocalist of the Year. He was nominated for Entertainer of the Year,Single of the Year, and last but not least Musical Event of the Year. It's safe to say Chris Stapleton is one hot topic in the nation of country music.

I myself can say I'm a huge "fan girl" of Chris Stapleton. I'm actually riding in my car right now listening to his album Traveler. The album itself won a Grammy for Album of the Year. It has been certified Double Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America and has sold over 1.6 million copies in the U.S. alone as of last month. I'm here to tell you not only to buy this album (ten dollars at Walmart), but to tell you the top five songs to listen to on this amazing album.

5. Traveler

Am I crazy to name the subject of this album as number five? Maybe. But it only gets better from here. This song won Chris Stapleton a Grammy award for best Country Solo Performance along with a nomination for Best Country Song.

I mean look at him.. can you blame them.

4. Nobody To Blame

Chris Stapleton doesn't shy away from what he does best, which is tell his story with his voice. Let's all be honest. If someone like Luke Bryan or Kenny Chesney covered this song, it just wouldn't be the same.

3. Whiskey and You.

For me, this is the most emotional song I have ever heard. Chris Stapleton's gritty, force, and soulful voice couldn't have been paired better with any other lyrics. Ticketnetwork.com

2. Tennessee Whiskey

Let's just take a moment to really think about the transformation made from George Jones's and David Allen Coe's version of this song in 1983 to Chris Stapleton in 2015... WOW. Not to mention Chris Stapleton's broad vocal range. Oh does this song do wonders to my heart.

1. Fire Away

This song brought Stapleton a CMA for Music Video Of the Year, as well as Male Vocalist of the Year. Writing this song along with the video wasn't so easy for him. Chris covered the sensitive topic of mental health and suicide. Throughout the song, Chris covers loving someone unconditionaly. Even through the hard times. The power of his chorus just strengthens the song itself. Looking at reviews, it's safe to say he changed alot of lives with this song.

What I've Learned About Friendship During My First Year Of High School

Friendship isn't always as easy as it's made out to be.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

25 Things I Want My Younger Cousins To Know

A little advice for my original best friends

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.
