Like many winners of reality singing shows, Pope experienced ups and downs when she moved to Nashville to pursue a country music career.
Cassadee Pope performs at the Wiltern in March in Los Angeles. By Emily Yahr Emily Yahr Style reporter covering pop culture and entertainment Email Bio Follow April 23 at 6:00 AM Cassadee Pope was recently performing a song at the Bluebird Cafe — the small venue made famous by ABC’s “Nashville” — when she abruptly stopped singing. She couldn’t remember how the second verse started. Within seconds, someone in the crowd called out a few words, and Pope was immediately back on track.

After spending last month as the opening act for Maren Morris, Pope is currently headlining CMT’s Next Women of Country tour. It’s an 11-city trek that stops by U Street Music Hall on Saturday and features Clare Dunn and Hannah Ellis, who co-wrote Pope’s current single, “If My Heart Had a Heart.
Right after winning “The Voice,” Pope knew she wanted to move to Nashville. She performed country music when she was younger, and viewers seemed to love when she sang country songs; her cover of Miranda Lambert’s “Over You” rocketed to No. 1 on iTunes, dethroning Psy’s “Gangnam Style.” She signed a record deal with Big Machine Label Group and released her first single five months later, the Avril Lavigne-esque, pop-leaning “Wasting All These Tears.
