Tanner stopped to talk to Billboard’s Rania Aniftos on the carpet about tour life, working on new music, and how she would give this year’s Woman of The Year, Doechii a crown for being a queen in her own right. She also talked about presenting Megan Moroney with this year’s Rule Breaker Award presented by Crown Royal. Tanner spoke about the importance of going against the grain, saying “I think it’s important for artists to do what they want in general. Being kept to a box is not good for your creativity.”
