"I hope that country music embraces me, because I grew up on it and have a love for the music," she tells CMT.The 25-year old, who earned millions of fans belting out country tunes such as 'Me and Bobby McGee' and 'No One Needs to Know' from the 'Idol' stage, says her goals always included landing in the country music capital.
