Lee Ann posted a clip of the interview on her Instagram with the caption, “Sometimes the truth just sort of slips out …”
She further expanded on her thoughts on the show, reports Taste of Country, saying: “I’m a singer. I love to sing. Country music to me is the greatest. It’s American music. It’s the greatest form of music. It’s beautiful when it’s done well and it’s done right, so that’s my favorite. I don’t worry so much about defining things. I know country music when I hear it.”
