When Kelly asked, “Is it true that you wanted to be a country singer?”
To which Reese replied that she “really did” since she was a kid who wanted to be a country singer and that’s why she went to acting camps, which in her eyes was kind of funny.

How did she follow the advice at the time? Kelly asked.
Reese replied, “I was good at something,” so that gave her motivation.
The wilderness The actress confessed that she “would have been depressed if she had been told she was bad at everything” after spending two years training to be a country singer.
