Country singer-songwriter Hannah Dasher revealed that a famous married male celebrity once sent her a direct message on social media. Speaking on the Like a Farmer podcast with host Pat Spinosa, the 40-year-old artist described the interaction as one of the weirdest messages she has received.
Dasher dished on the brash correspondence without disclosing the identity of the individual or how explicit the message was. When asked about risque messages in her inbox, she laughed and turned down sharing specific details on air.
"Well, I don't know that I could share it because they're famous and married," Dasher said with a laugh. "So let me think of another one," she told host Pat Spinosa.
Dasher hinted at the celebrity's high level of fame and power during the conversation. She noted that interacting with him "could have" led to bigger opportunities in her musical career if not for her Christian faith.
Early Career in Nashville
During the podcast episode, Dasher also opened up about her journey in country music, which began after she graduated from college and moved to Nashville. To support herself while working toward becoming a country star, she took a job at Bass Pro Shops.
In the early 2010s, Dasher signed a publishing deal with Sony and ATV Music Publishing in partnership with Jaren Johnston of The Cadillac Three. Several years later, country star Brad Paisley recorded a song she co-wrote, titled Go to Bed Early, for his Love and War album.
Dasher reached another major milestone in 2021 when she signed a recording contract with Sony Music Nashville and released her debut EP, The Half Record.
Losing Sony Music Contract
Shortly after dropping her debut EP, Sony "pulled the plug" on her recording deal. Reflecting on the adversities she faced in her career, Dasher spoke about becoming an independent artist who manages her own path.
"I think losing my record deal was a huge humbling that needed to occur in me," Dasher said on the podcast, admitting that "it was the last thing that I thought was ever going to happen."
She explained that she leaned on her faith and family "to get out of that lull and to start writing songs again." She paused songwriting for "a couple of years" while working on her cookbook, Stand By Your Pan.
After publishing the cookbook earlier this year, Dasher hinted at upcoming music releases as she returned to writing. "Now I'm back into it," she declared.
