Justin Moore is raising his four children in the church of country music. Moore says that his kids - Ella, 10, , Kennedy, 8, Kline, 5 and South - even shared their opinions about his music.

He says, “They offer plenty of opinions. They’ll tell me like, ‘Hey, play ‘Point at You,’' but they don’t really get into my music too much.”

Even though his daughters aren’t mega-fans of his music specifically, Justin says, “They like music and if I’m listening to like, a sports station or something, listening to a game or whatever, they’ll go, ‘Dad, turn it on country music.’ So when they do want to hear music, they want to hear country music, which I’m proud of.”

He adds, “They have opinions about a lot of things but music’s typically not one of them, at least yet. I’m sure as they get older and get a little more sassy that they will.”

Moore often shares pictures of his kids on his social media including this post from after Christmas.

In the late 1990s, she started working with Dolly Parton. And yes, Nancy reports that Parton is as sweet as you would think. She loves her life in country music and has been backstage at every CMA Awards show since the late 1990s. Many of her stories are from her one-on-one interviews. She was there at the beginning of the incredible careers of many music superstars today, including Taylor Swift, Shania Twain, and Blake Shelton, and has interviewed them multiple times throughout the years.
