In this episode, Katie finally lifts the curtain on the story she’s been hinting at since day one – the trip that blew up her old life and accidentally birthed Girls In Low Places. Joined by her US BFF Sam who organised the doomed trip, she rewinds to her engagement, a countryside life, and a bachelorette weekend that cracked everything wide open.

They piece together the hangovers, the panic, the gut feelings and the “I can’t do this” moment that followed, talking honestly about friendship, grief, and what it really costs to choose yourself.This is the messy origin story behind the podcast, told for the first time.

Girls in Low Places take Nashville and the CMA Awards, and honestly… we may never recover. In this episode, Katie and Ozzy debrief the most chaotic, magical week of their lives – from anxiety sobs in hotel lifts to accidentally starting a speakeasy on the CMA red carpet. Katie arrives in town early with OG videographer Rodney, hits the emotional Drake White benefit (and hides from Riley Green all night), sneaks into a Tucker Wetmore pop-up without Ozzy, and tries to survive a whirlwind of meetings, backstage moments and big-label visits once Ozzy finally lands after a flight-from-hell delay.

The girls share what it was really like backstage at the Opry, walking into the same spaces they’d only ever seen on the TV show Nashville, and trying to balance being “media” with just wanting to be fans who get drunk on Broadway and shake their tail feathers. Then it’s full chaos mode: a blow-dry courtesy of Team Tucker Wetmore, a podcast recording at Bobby Bones’ insane house, getting changed for the CMAs in his bathroom, a corset emergency, security helping with undone dresses, and panic-spiralling about the red carpet. On the carpet itself, they’re placed next to the Washington Post, juggle overexcited PRs, sprint after artists, accidentally cut off LeAnn Rimes to chase Tucker, fall on the floor screaming when he calls them his favourite interview, and melt down over seeing friends of the pod like Priscilla Block, Kaitlin Butts and more in their full CMA moment.

They also talk honestly about imposter syndrome, the pressure of “being industry” versus just loving country music as fans, how emotional it is to see artists they’ve championed level up, and what it meant to go from watching the CMAs on a sofa in the UK last year to sitting in the room this year. Plus: Dustin Lynch shots, Rodney’s secret bar buddies, why the Union Jack dress was the best decision ever, why more UK fans should join the CMA, and a massive love letter to their Nashville haven at the Virgin Hotel – fries, hash browns, rooftop sunsets and all.

This week, Katie hits the streets — or more accurately, the queue — to chat with Maren Morris fans ahead of her London show. From theories on the divorce, the pop vs. country debate, and cries in the shower (not the car), to which British artists Maren should collab with — this one’s a ride.

It’s Girls in Low Places at its rawest .... fans oversharing, wigs flying and Megan Mornoneys pink era DISCUSSED. It’s UK country commentary — live from the queue from YOU the gilpers!
