In this clip, Trisha tells us how her latest single, "Every Girl in This Town," has taken on a life of its own. She saw it first hand meeting with fans as she launched her new album, "Every Girl," a few weeks back.

Transcript:

"I had a moment, when I realized this might be bigger than the song. We were in Chattanooga on Saturday signing albums, and this woman came through with her daughter. And this woman was beautiful and her daughter was beautiful. But the mom didn't want to be... She wanted to put her daughter in front of her for the photo. She didn't think she looked good. She wanted to do a selfie, because she didn't want to show her body.

And I don't know what happened to me. Maybe it's that I had not slept in a few days, but I just took her aside and I said, "Look, you need to stop this right now. I'm twice your age. I'm heavier than I've ever been, and I'm happy. I'm comfortable in my skin. There's things about myself I want to change, but I am living my life and I'm enjoying my life. And you need to not do this to yourself. And also, you have this little girl over here who's watching everything you do. And what do you want to teach her? Do you want to teach her to love herself or to look at every flaw?”

And I said, "You got this baby." And I made her... I'm like, "Do you hear me?" I made her look me in the eye. And Brian Moore, my social media guy, he's taking pictures, he's over there crying. And I don't know what happened to me. But I felt like maybe this is a bigger conversation than, 'I like your song", because it is a song about... Just about embracing whoever you are, whatever that looks like. And then after that, everybody that came through, especially the girls and the women, I thought, we're so hard on ourselves. And we could be so much kinder to everybody if we're kinder to ourselves first. So maybe this is a bigger story than a cool song."
