Kylie Trout - CRS 2021 Day 3
Sheyla Paz interviews country newcomer Kylie Trout
This 17-year-old talent brings forth a lively song that takes a modern twist on classic country storytelling. Inspired by the aftermath of a breakup and an ex who made a habit of “going the extra mile.” Trout sings of the unraveling of events after the breakup as her ex further proved his "extra" status by continuing to air past grievances as she continued to process and move on.
Throughout her childhood, Trout continued to discover her love of music. After having a bout of stage fright during a vocal lesson that led to tears and running out of the room upon her turn to sing, Trout's loved ones were shocked when this same shy girl commanded the stage at her fourth-grade talent show singing Taylor Swift's "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together." "I just didn't want to get off the stage," Trout remembers of the moment that confirmed her love for performing.
