Cassadee Pope was the lead singer of Hey Monday, but the band later disbanded. She was also in Fall Out Boy’s music video for “America’s Suitehearts.” Pope then auditioned on Season 3 of The Voice and turned around all four judges. However, she picked Shelton as her coach, ended up winning the season, and later came out with a self-titled EP. She also performed on New Year’s Eve with Carson Daly with Train.

Pope signed with Republic Nashville and has been doing pretty well for herself in the country music business. In 2016, she performed “Messin’ Around” at the CMT Awards with Pitbull and Leona Lewis. She also released a song with Chris Young called “Think of You,” which made it to No. 1 in 2016.

I can see people listening to that and relating to that and that’s what a hit song is,” Pope said, according to Taste of Country. “Every part of that song grabbed me especially when that verse came in with Emily Shackleton singing on the demo. When she came in and had her own verse I was like, ‘Oh my gosh! A girl has her own verse!’ It made me love it even more.”
