Country star Hannah Dasher says famous, married celebrity once slid into her DMs

"I could have gone on some pretty big tours, you know, if I wasn't a Christian," she added with a smile. "Golly, the weirdest DM that I've gotten. I guess that would be it, right? I don't know."

"Oh, I think about that one."

Raised near Savannah, Georgia, Dasher has previously said that she grew up on '90s country music. After graduating from college, she moved to Nashville, Tennessee to pursue a career in country music. Dasher has previously said that she worked selling boats and outboard motors at Bass Pro Shops to support herself before being fired for writing songs while on the job.

In 2013, she landed her first publishing deal with BMG Chrysalis and later signed with Sony/ATV Music Publishing in partnership with Jaren Johnston of The Cadillac Three. Dasher's first major break as a songwriter came in 2017, when Brad Paisley recorded her co-written song "Go to Bed Early" for his "Love and War" album, marking her first cut for a major label.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Dasher launched her viral TikTok cooking series, "Stand By Your Pan," where she mixes Southern recipes with country music and comedy. The series quickly attracted more than a million followers and helped introduce her to audiences beyond traditional country music fans.

Dasher signed a recording deal with Sony Music Nashville in 2021 and released her debut EP, "The Half Record," which featured songs including "Leave This Bar" and "Girls Call the Shots."

That same year, she was named one of CMT's Next Women of Country and made multiple appearances performing at the Grand Ole Opry.

She has since said that Sony "pulled the plug" on her recording deal shortly after the EP's release, leaving her to continue her career independently.
