Girls In Low Places

Can you starch a tracksuit?

Fresh from his first UK shows, Texas hunk Parker McCollum joins Girls In Low Places to talk romance, cowboy culture and the art of overthinking.

From growing up watching rom-coms to chasing his now-wife Hallie for nine months, Parker reveals why Texas men are raised differently, the initial doubts behind his CMA-nominated album and whether British fans have officially converted him.

Plus, we discuss the power of a good eyebrow, his obsession with starched jeans, why British men just...

HAPPY HALLOWEEN, GILPERS! 🎃★

This week, we’re getting spooky with the fellow witch that is Kassi Ashton, and she’s brought a few extra eyeballs along for the occasion.

We’re talking haunted childhood homes, ghostly encounters, witchcraft, questionable Halloween crushes and why we probably would have been burned at the stake together in Salem.

But beneath the costumes and chaos, things get surprisingly deep. Kassi opens up about marriage, maintaining her independence, finding a man who supports her ambition and why being a feminist do...

🚨 PSA: GIRLS, THIS IS AN EPISODE YOU NEED TO WATCH, NOT JUST LISTEN TO! 🚨

Buckle up, girls. We're taking this podcast on the roads of Nashville. In a golf cart. 

Katie got a tour from Kaitlin Butts around East Nashville to celebrate her brand-new album, Hello, Honky Tonk!

From secretly paying for Charli XCX's lunch to getting drunk at Skinny Dennis, Kaitlin is spilling all the honky-tonk goss and top tips for the gehls!!!!

We're talking about the inspiration behind her new record, why Chicago the musical and country music are a match...

GIRLS, WE’RE GETTING SMUTTY. 🤠📚

In this very special episode of Girls in Low Places, Katie is joined by bestselling cowboy romance author Roxanne Tully, the woman behind the Blue River Springs series and her latest release, Saddle Storm.

We’re talking hot cowboys, why women are obsessed with fictional men and why there’s absolutely NO shame in enjoying a little cowboy smut.

From making consent sexy and reclaiming the female gaze to why fictional men might actually be the blueprint for real-life relationships, nothing is off limits.

PLUS, Roxanne and Katie dre...

Things are getting HOT in the GILP hair salon as country music heartthrob Warren Zeiders joins Katie for a blowie (the hair kind, obviously) and a good old-fashioned gossip.

Fresh off the release of his new album No Brakes, Warren spills on heartbreak, his search for a wife, avoidant attachment styles and why finding love when you’re constantly on the road isn’t quite as easy as it looks.

We’re talking his lacrosse boy past, rockstar influences, his surprisingly extensive hair routine (yes, he’s a Dyson girly), his winter bulk and, of course...

A check-in with the GILPers covering everything currently kicking off in country music. Katie gets into Ella Langley’s very pointed response to Riley Green’s comments on The Voice, why women in podcasting seem to need a gimmick just to be taken seriously, and Kacey Musgraves’ iconic response after being dragged into the Kristi Noem discourse. Plus: Gavin Adcock and Charley Crockett make peace, Kelly Clarkson’s $15k bird drama, why country music might officially have too many sad boys, and Katie’s survival guide for going to a gig alone — including why you should absolutely come to the GILP liv...

Katie is in Nashville and is SAT with comedian Heather McMahan to tackle the big issues facing country music today: cowboy smut, lumbersexuals and the things that are giving us an absolutely not.

Heather reveals which country men could get it, the Western trends that need to be stopped immediately (mullets and suspiciously dyed moustaches, we’re looking at you).

The girls also get into why women made Heather fall in love with country music, the pure theatre of country storytelling, Luke Bryan’s right to climb a tree, Yellowstone men, Nashville party buses and why...

Katie has ARRIVED in Nashville and sits down with music journalist and Her Country author Marissa Moss to ask a pretty big question: why does country music still seem capable of championing only one woman at a time?

From Lainey Wilson and Ella Langley to Kacey Musgraves, Megan Moroney and the women who seem to disappear from the spotlight while the men get to stay there, Marissa breaks down the double standards that still run through country music — from radio and festival lineups to awards, interviews and the pressure on female artists to never say or do th...

Ingrid Andress joins all of us Girls In Low Places for a conversation about what happens when your worst fear actually happens — and you realise life carries on.

Ingrid opens up about her national anthem performance, checking herself into rehab afterwards, dealing with public humiliation and eventually finding freedom in no longer being able to control what everybody thinks of her.

We also get into the realities of being a woman in your thirties: running from commitment, questioning marriage, dating when your career consumes your life, knowing when you’re simply not compatible and accepting the...

For a very special bonus episode, Girls In Low Places took over The Duke of Highgate in London to host Riley Green’s That’s Just Me album listening party on behalf of his label, Big Machine.

With a room full of GILPers, we got an early listen to tracks from the new album and talked exes, situationships, commitment issues, whiskey and whether understanding why Riley acts the way he does gives us a whole new perspective on the album.

There’s also pin the moustache on Riley Green, signed prizes, audience confessions, karaoke and an une...

Coming to you from bed, wet hair in a claw clip, because we need a little GILPer catch-up.

First: Stagecoach. Yes, I’m sad there’s no woman headlining - but I think we’re blaming the wrong people.

This Fancy Hagood girl chat goes from Spice Girls and Dua Lipa to religion, coming out, queer country and his destiny being his own. 

Fancy takes us back to Baby Jake: growing up in Arkansas, moving to Nashville supposedly to study religion, losing his religion instead, and eventually finding both his queerness and the name “Fancy” while working at Forever 21.

They talk about the realities of being openly gay in country music, why Fancy is tired of waiting for Music Row to decide whether he belongs, touring arenas with Arian...

Dawson Anderson is in the UK, and he came bearing flowers. 🌹

Katie sits down with Dawson to talk first loves, toxic exes, dating when your career comes first, and why he wants to be a husband and dad… just not quite yet. Dawson opens up about the messy reality of going solo, the relationship that sent him to therapy, whether men ever really get over their first love, and what it takes to become one of his future ex-girlfriends.

Plus, we make our very own Kacey Musgraves balls, talk findi...

Georgia Millie is back on the GILP hotline for a overdue country catch upppp. 

We’re talking about the girl on a train moment I found myself on the same train as Maren Morris, surviving festivals with a baby, Dawson Anderson’s adventures with the British girls and Doja Cat having absolutely no idea who Ella Langley is.

Plus Morgan Wallen’s questionable outfit choices Tim Mcgraw stacking it and plenty more GILPer nonsense.

We are starting to put these LOLZ opinions behind the paywall so here is a link to the web link to...

Josh Ross is back in the Girls in Low Places studio!!!! And Katie is wearing head to toe PVC and spanking him with a baton.

We talk getting kicked out of bars, crazy girls (turns out he’s a fan), heartbreak, dating and why Josh sleeps in his jeans. Then we get surprisingly deep about learning to be alone, knowing what you actually want from a relationship and how much life has changed for him over the last few years.

Obviously, it doesn’t stay sensible for long. Josh beco...

It’s been quite the week at GILP HQ, so my friend Trish joins me for a much-needed debrief.

We talk about Dolly Parton, what she meant to women beyond country music, and the slightly surreal experience of Dolly Pawton and me making our BBC Breakfast debut in matching pink cowboy hats.

Then, naturally, we move onto the other important cultural events of the week: Kacey Musgraves flying through the air on a gigantic pair of glitter balls, Jessica Simpson’s surprisingly raunchy early lyrics, cowboy romance novels and my current reading era.

Katie is having a little end-of-summer, before-back-to-school break, so we’re throwing it back to one of our favourite Girls In Low Places studio visits… Zach Top.

Jet-lagged, Grammy-winning, and drinking a shandy Zach Top for breakfast.

In this episode we talk about everything from his first UK interview and what the Grammys really felt like, to why country music always swings back to its roots… Zach shares why he rarely does collaborations, the truth about singing with a cigarette in your mouth, and what it was like running down the aisle to accept his Grammy...

Katie goes shopping in Nashville with Daniel and Lani, the founders of Daniel Diamond — the brand behind some of country music’s most iconic sparkly looks. 💎

While trying on some of their incredible pieces, Daniel and Lani spill on being friends with Kelsea Ballerini, the story behind Megan Moroney’s iconic rhinestone guitar, and dressing everyone from Dolly Parton and Shania Twain to Kacey Musgraves and Gwen Stefani. Daniel also takes us back to his former life working with the Spice Girls — including what Victoria Beckham is really like behind the scenes.

Plus, we’re talking how t...

A little midweek catch-up with the GILPers 💌

Katie’s back with a solo voicenote to talk all things country — from why Kacey Musgraves might just be a marketing genius (and why we need more women in country doing whatever the hell they want), to which artists we NEED to hear given the full orchestral reimagining treatment.

Plus, we’re talking Lainey Wilson porch confessions, the country Song of the Summer… and a very exciting little tease about what’s coming next for ALL OF US who listen to Girls In Low Places 👀

Come join the Girl Co...

A hungover Randy helps Katie judge her Hinge matches, gives some brutally honest dating advice and reveals what’s kept his own marriage strong for over a decade. We also attempt to solve why farmers never text back, why husbands can’t find anything in the fridge and, most importantly, why men who operate heavy machinery are apparently so attractive.

Randy also opens up about dad life, coming down from the adrenaline of touring, writing with Post Malone until the early hours, protecting your creativity in the music industry and why time has become his most precious comm...

I'll be honest, you might wanna watch this on Youtube. The GILP roller-skating era begins... and potentially ends immediately.

For this bonus episode, Katie meets Meels in Hyde Park for MEELS ON WHEELS — an interview conducted almost entirely on roller skates, on the grass, on our knees and generally with very little dignity.

Between attempts to stay upright, Meels talks about touring with Caitlin Butts, why she identifies with Miss Piggy, writing about her experience with OCD, her love of vintage clothes, the origins of her self-created “critter country”genre and the very important philosophy that p...

Then we get into the darkness of McBee Dynasty, before I leave Sam to go and interview Randy Houser...

Ashley Cooke’s self-titled new album “ashley cooke” is out THIS WEEK — and she’s officially in a low place to tell us EVERYTHING behind it. 🤠💗 Taking us inside the relationships, breakups and very real stories that became her most personal record yet.

We get into dating (and breaking up with 👀) someone you also make music with, why Ashley admits she’s a total lover girl who puts up with way too much in relationships, being cheated on, running away when things get serious and what happens when you have to keep singing about an ex long after you’ve...

We’re throwing it back (in a circle) to one of our favourite GILP interviews from the archives with Kassi Ashton! 💘

Recorded in a bathtub (obviously), Kassi joins us for some VERY honest girl talk about exes, cheating, dating dealbreakers and the things that are officially the last straw — including why texting your ex “Merry Christmas” could result in your phone getting absolutely SMASHED.

We also get into Kassi’s music made for the girls, the story behind Bar Fight, the incredibly personal meaning of Juanita, finding confidence when you feel like you’re “too much”, her dream...

Caylee Hammack joins us for one of our most honest conversations yet as we unpack the viral success of Must Be Nice To Have A Wife and why it has struck such a chord with women around the world.

This is one of those episodes that genuinely feels like you shouldn’t be watching.

Chase Rice opens up about dating, love languages, heartbreak, family, friendships and the kind of conversations that usually happen when the cameras have stopped rolling. It’s funny, flirtatious, unexpectedly honest and full of moments that feel almost too intimate to witness.
