Fresh off of a tour of performances around the country, Chrissy is writing songs, spending time in Nashville, and charting a course for life after the show. She’s also been busy writing.

Quotes From Chrissy Metz
“I’m so grateful that I got to grow up in a semi-small town. I mean, it wasn’t a one stoplight town. But it was definitely a smaller town and I remember walking to school and feeding the horses on the way with carrots and apples. And I had such a beautiful experience.”
“To be on a show that literally has changed my life, my heart, my mind, my soul, my spirit, and to see other people’s change is just absolutely incredible.”
Chrissy Metz
My grandma always said singing at church is like praying twice. And I always thought that was such a beautiful sentiment because I love to sing.
