    Cassidy-Rae - One More Song; Music, Joy & the Stories Behind the Hits | WHAT SHE SAID

    What does it take to go from singing as a child in Australia to performing around the world and landing #1 country hits? In this episode we sit down with country-pop powerhouse Cassidy Rae, whose journey has taken her from the Australian Girls Choir to cruise ship stages, Nashville songwriting rooms and chart-topping singles like Cheers Y'all. Cassidy shares the incredible behind-the-scenes stories from her career — including performing for Barack Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Ellen DeGeneres, and even singing in the Vatican for Pope Benedict XVI. We talk about the reality of building a music career, writing songs inspired by real life, and why Cassidy doesn’t call her audience “fans”… she calls them friends. You’ll also hear the hilarious story behind her famous “train dance” during Wagon Wheel, the moment a crowd chanting “one more song” inspired a track, and what it’s really like performing hundreds of shows a year. If you love country music, songwriting stories, and artists who truly connect with their audience, this episode is for you. Grab a drink, raise a glass and say it with us… Cheers y’all.
