Before the show, Woman’s World caught up with Cassidy to talk about how her music career has evolved since appearing on Taylor Sheridan’s The Road, what it was like working with the acclaimed creator, her cameo on Dutton Ranch and what’s coming next for the rising country star.
What it’s really like working in the Taylor Sheridan universe
For Cassidy, one of the biggest surprises about stepping into Taylor Sheridan’s world has been the people behind the scenes. And as she explains, the experience has been nothing short of wonderful.
“The number one thing that is completely different about being in — we call it, “the Taylor-verse” — is that everyone there is genuinely so happy to be there and so kind. You can tell that they’re paid well, they’re taken care of, and honestly, that’s so refreshing to see in the industry because you know sometimes it’s hard out here for for talent and they really take care of their people out there,” Cassidy dishes about the Taylor Sheridan set.
Despite her success on The Road, Cassidy still never imagined where the show would take her next. “I can’t say enough good things about them. I never could have imagined anything happening from The Road itself, other than being on the show and getting that great opportunity to hang out with such amazing country superstars like Keith Urban, Gretchen Wilson, and Blake Shelton, the mentorship was really awesome,” she says. “But never in a million years could I imagine it would land me on so many different shows in the Taylor-verse. It’s been a pleasure!”
Cassidy Daniels dishes on meeting Taylor Sheridan for the first time
Of course, getting to work in the Taylor-verse also means getting to know the man behind some of television’s biggest hits. Cassidy recalled one first impression that she’ll never forget.
“One of my favorite Taylor Sheridan moments was probably the first time I met him,” she shares. “I was playing in Fort Worth, Texas, at Tannahill Saloon, and he’s kind of a really intimidating dude. He was standing with his arms crossed and he’s super intimidating with his Luccheses and his floor-length peacoat.
“And as soon as I started singing, he just went from like super intimidating to just having the biggest, warmest smile, and he truly does seem to have a soft spot for little old me. So I really love seeing that every time I’m around him.”
From her debut album to another Taylor Sheridan show — What’s next for Cassidy Daniels?
While her time in the Taylor-verse has opened some exciting doors, Cassidy has also been making big moves in her own music career. “This year, I released my debut album, which was a huge, huge, huge deal. I feel like I’ve waited my whole life to make my debut album, and now it’s here, and it’s like I stuck my flag in the sand and said this is who I am,” Cassidy Daniels says of her new album, ‘What Have I Got To Lose’ that released in September.
“I’m also going to be making an appearance on Marshalls, which will be coming out in December. So for any more fans of Taylor Sheridan, you might see my big old red head up on there singing!”
Red Bull Jukebox certainly knows how to shake things up in Nashville, bringing together some of country music’s most exciting voices for a night full of surprises, collaborations and incredible performances. And whether she’s lighting up the screen in the Taylor-verse or making waves in country music on her own, we’ll always be cheering Cassidy on. Something tells us this is only the beginning!
