Gabby Barrett is on the way up. She's had a few hits, and her star is on the rise. In the new episode of the podcast "Unexpected With Hannah Love," she explains that some friends, fans and industry insiders have advised her that her marriage and her faith may be slowing her ascent.
Gabby explains: "There have been large song opportunities that have come in for me to duet on and be a part of, and [that's something] between myself and my husband," she explains. "I respect him a ton, and I listen to what he has to say, and I think he deserves that. The Bible talks about us doing that for our husbands."
"There have been songs that have been not appropriate to sing wording-wise, like, these love songs that are really intimate wording-wise," she continues, pointing out that a high profile country duet will typically include more obligations than just the recording: Music videos, awards show performances, televised duets and joint interviews are all typical components of song promo. "What does that look like on the stage?" Barrett relates. "If I'm singing with another man, is that gonna make my husband uncomfortable? Probably. And I respect and love him so much that I am not gonna jeopardize my marriage to do a duet with somebody."
