WHEN ADAM GREENWALD WALKED INTO HIS NORMAL FRIDAY NIGHT DIVE BAR ON THAT FATEFUL NIGHT, HE WASN'T EXPECTING TO MEET ANYONE. THE 40 YEAR OLD PROJECT MANAGER RAN INTO THE 27 YEAR OLD WHILE ORDERING A DRINK FOR HIMSELF AND ENDED UP ORDERING ONE FOR THE GIRL NEXT TO HIM AS WELL. HER NAME WAS MARGOT HART AND HE INSISTED THAT SHE WAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN IN THE ROOM AND IT WASN'T JUST A LINE BECAUSE TWO YEARS LATER HE STILL BELIEVED THAT WAS TRUE IN EVERY ROOM. IT WAS ESPECIALLY TRUE WHEN THEY ELOPED IN THEIR LIVING ROOM WITH THEIR DOGS AS THEIR MAID OF HONOR AND BEST MAN. THEIR PARENTS HADN'T EXACTLY BEEN HAPPY ABOUT THE COUPLE ELOPING AND INFORMING THEM ALL WITH A PHONECALL, BUT THEY WERE WELCOMED INTO THEIR NEW FAMILIES. THE BIG NEWS CONTINUED TO HIT THE IN-LAWS WHEN A NEW PHONECALL TOLD THEIR FAMILIES THAT ADAM AND MARGOT WERE EXPECTING THEIR FIRST CHILD AFTER MONTHS OF TRYING.

THE PREGNANCY WAS AN EASY ONE UNTIL TWO WEEKS BEFORE HER DUE DATE AND MARGOT GOT A FEVER. THE FEVER LEAD TO A KIDNEY INFECTION THAT LEAD TO AN EMERGENCY C-SECTION AND A HEALTHY BABY GIRL. LUCY ROSE GREENWALD WAS A HAPPY BABY TO SAY THE LEAST. HER FATHER SWORE THAT SHE WAS ALREADY SAYING WORDS 16 HOURS INTO HER FIRST DAY IN THE WORLD AND SHE HAD HIM WRAPPED AROUND HER FINGER WITHIN 16 SECONDS OF HER FIRST DAY. LUCY WASN'T PUT DOWN FOR THE FIRST SIX MONTHS OF HER LIFE CAUSING HER TO HAVE EXTREME SEPARATION ANXIETIES WHEN SHE GOT OLDER AND HER PARENTS HAD TO GO TO WORK. LUCKILY, SHE WASN'T THE ONLY ONE WHO WANTED TO BE AROUND ALL OF THE TIME. MARGOT STRUGGLED WITH HER WORK SCHEDULE, WANTING TO SPEND MORE TIME WITH HER FIRST CHILD AND MADE THE DECISION TO LEAVE THE SALON SHE WAS AT FOR THE FIRST YEAR OF LUCY'S LIFE. WHILE ADAM WAS AT WORK, MARGOT AND LUCY PLAYED. HER MOTHER SAT WITH HER AS SHE PLAYED WITH TOYS FIGURING OUT HOW THE WORLD WORKED. SHE WAS ALWAYS DRAWN TO HER MINI PIANO THAT EVENTUALLY GREW INTO A FASCINATION WITH MUSIC.

TWO MONTHS AFTER HER FIRST BIRTHDAY, THE GREENWALDS PACKED UP THEIR SMALL TEXAS HOME AND MOVED TO NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE WHEN ADAM WAS TRANSFERRED TO A DIFFERENT BRANCH. THEIR HOME WAS BIGGER SO LUCY HAD MORE PLACES TO EXPLORE. LIVING IN THE HUB OF COUNTRY MUSIC ONLY GREW LUCY'S INTEREST IN MUSIC. THE MUSIC PLAYED AT HER MOM'S NEW SALON THAT SHE OPENED WAS WHAT SHE FIRST DANCED TO, THE CLIENTS WHO SANG ALONG OR THE BIGGER CLIENTS WHO STARTED TO COME IN ONCE HER MOTHER'S REPUTATION GREW OPENED THE WORLD TO LUCY AS SHE GREW OLDER. BY THE TIME SHE WAS TEN, ALL SHE WANTED TO DO WAS BE A BIG COUNTRY STAR AND SING FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE. HER DREAMS BECAME THE FOCUS OF HER LIFE. SHE DIDN'T GO TO GIRL'S HOUSES AFTER SCHOOL, SHE WENT TO SMALLER VENUES AND PLACES WHERE HER PARENTS LET HER GO TO WATCH AND LEARN FROM THE OTHER ASPIRING COUNTRY SINGERS OUT THERE ON HOW TO MAKE IT. SHE WATCHED AS SOME OF HER FAVORITE ARTISTS GOT SIGNED AND IT MADE HER WANT IT AND SHE WANTED IT BAD.

HER PRETEEN YEARS WERE SPENT AT MUSIC LESSONS, HOLED UP IN HER ROOM FILLING NOTEBOOK AFTER NOTEBOOK OF SONGS THAT SHE SANG AT LOCAL TALENT COMPETITIONS, AT HER MOTHER'S SALON AND, OF COURSE, IN HER ROOM. ONE OF HER MOTHER'S BEST CLIENTS HAPPENED TO BE THE WIFE OF SOMEONE WHO WORKED AT RCA RECORDS WHO TOOK ONE OF LUCY'S DEMOS FROM A TALENT COMPEITION AND SLIPPED INTO HER HUSBAND'S BRIEF CASE. LITTLE DID SHE KNOW, IT WAS THE BEGINNING OF LUCY'S CAREER WITH ONLY ONE MINOR SPEEDBUMP STANDING BETWEEN HER AND THE STARDOM THAT SHE WOULD GAIN. RCA RECORDS SAW POTENTIAL IN LUCY AND SIGNED HER AFTER MEETINGS AND LOTS OF PAPERWORK. THEY HAD HER START TO WORK WITH SONGWRITERS WHO TWEAKED WHAT SHE HAD IN HER JOURNALS AND START TO TAKE THE POTENTIAL SHE HAD AND TURN IT INTO WHAT WOULD MAKE HER A BETTER ARTIST. HOWEVER, LUCY'S RELATIONSHIP WITH RCA BECAME ROCKY WHEN THEIR VISIONS OF HOW HER CAREER DIFFERED AND THEY LET HER GO. IT WAS A HARDBLOW FOR THE FOURTEEN YEAR OLD BUT SHE WORKED HARD AGAIN ON GETTING BACK TO WHERE SHE HAD BEEN BEFORE - WITH A RECORD DEAL.

IT TURNED OUT THAT HER RELATIONSHIP WITH RCA WASN'T THE ONLY ONE THAT HAD BEEN ROCKY. AN EXECUTIVE THAT HAD WORKED WITH THE RECORD COMPANY ALSO LEFT AROUND THE SAME TIME SHE DID AND PURSUED LUCY TO HAVE HER JOIN HIS NEW LABEL HE WAS STARTING - BIG MACHINE RECORDS. IT WAS A RISK TO JOIN A LABEL THAT WAS BRAND NEW AS ONE OF THEIR ONLY ARTISTS BUT LUCY WAS QUICK TO JUMP AT THE CHANCE WITH A GOOD FEELING IN HER STOMACH THAT THIS WAS GOING TO TAKE HER SOMEWHERE. IT TURNED OUT THAT THAT FEELING WAS CORRECT. BY 2006, LUCY TURNED 17 AND A MONTH LATER HER FIRST ALBUM WAS RELEASED. THE SELF TITLED ALBUM HAD SEVERAL HITS AND GAVE HER THE CHANCE TO OPEN UP FOR SOME OF HER HEROES. THAT WAS WHEN THE WORLD STARTED TO TAKE NOTICE OF THE FRESH FACED COUNTRY SINGER AND IT BECAME OBVIOUS THAT SHE WASN'T GOING TO BE GOING ANYWHERE. THE TASTE OF TOUR LIFE INSPIRED HER TO WORK ON HER SECOND ALBUM FEARLESS, WHICH TURNED INTO AN INTERNATIONAL AND COMMERCIAL BREAKTHROUGH FOR LUCY. IT TOPPED THE CHARTS FOR 11 NON-CONSECUTIVE WEEKS WHILE SETTING VARIOUS RECORDS INCLUDING THE LONGEST CHART-TOPPER BY A FEMALE COUNTRY ARTIST. THE FEARLESS TOUR BECAME HER FIRST HEADLINING TOUR AND DATES SOLD OUT IN LESS THAN A MINUTE. IT WAS A WORLD THAT MADE LUCY'S HEAD SPIN IN THE BEST WAY. HOWEVER, IT BROUGHT ALONG SOME DOWNFALLS LIKE THE NEGATIVE MEDIA ATTENTION SHE HAD NO IDEA HOW TO HANDLE AT THE TIME. SUDDENLY HER WHOLE LIFE WAS UNDER A MICROSCOPE AND LUCY ADJUSTED HOW SHE PRESENTED HERSELF TO THE WORLD AS HER FAME CONTINUED TO GROW OVER THE YEARS. BEING A HOUSEHOLD NAME WASN'T WHAT LUCY HAD EXPECTED TO HAPPEN, BUT LIVING HER DREAM WAS EVERYTHING SHE WANTED AND MORE.
