Jo Dee Messina

"Somebody heard me here, somebody heard me there and then I ending up getting a deal, but that was McGraw that made that happen."

It's a perfect mix of classic Southern architecture and luxury living.

Messina wasn't kidding when she said she's been experiencing a songwriting renaissance.

You know "Carlene" and "Just Another Day in Paradise," but did you know Phil Vassar also wrote these country hits for other artists?

The two stars joined forces for a performance of their 'She Had Me at Heads Carolina' remix at the 2023 ACM Awards.

The pair brought a mashup of Swindell's recent hit and Messina's breakout single to the ACM Awards on Thursday night.

She knew exactly what to say to put everything in perspective.

"I thought you did a killer job."

She says she's never been known as a writer.

The massive tour takes in more than 45 dates.

It's a celebration of her 1996 breakthrough debut single.

The album includes some of Messina's biggest country hits.

From "Heads Carolina, Tails California" to today, take a look back at Jo Dee Messina's country music career.

On April 17, 2006, Messina ran the Boston Marathon ... and completed the race, even after injuring her knee.

Nothing beats a cool country soundtrack to crank up while you're exploring those wide-open spaces in your chosen mode of transportation.

Jo Dee Messina, a Massachusetts girl that made it big in country music is in a battle for her life.
