Gabby Barrett released her sophomore album, Chapter & Verse, in February (2/2). She took over creative control of the project, co-producing all 14 tracks. She also has nine songwriter credits on the album. The album features background vocals by Luke Combs on the song “Dance Like No One’s Watching.”
Gabby co-wrote a song on the album with Miranda Lambert called “You’re My Texas.” She told us of that song, “When I think of Texas, I think of my husband and raising our babies in this beautiful state that we’re proud to call home. It was my first time really meeting Miranda while writing this song, and I’m thankful that we could bond over our love for Texas.”
She added, “This one just fell out naturally, and I love everything about it.”
During an Instagram chat with fans late last year, Gabby said of Lambert, “Miranda’s awesome. She’s just super laid back and just so chill and nice to be around and very real of a person. Which is really nice to see in the industry, especially as a female being very real and not about the drama and the jealousy and this and that.”
Barrett, who just welcomed her third child, gave Kelleigh Bannen some first-time parenting advice recently. She told her that in the beginning, when you first have the baby, you want everything to just “go perfectly,” but it “needs to register” that it’s not going to go perfectly.”
She added that things would “be wonky,” but that’s how they’re supposed to be and that there’s “no better other mom” to that baby than you. Gabby noted that as a new parent, you will just “get into a groove.”
To celebrate her 24th birthday today (3/5), we gathered five of what we believe is her best music videos to date.
