Cassadee Pope opened up to ET about her new music and a post-breakup song that is “a little savage,” at the Academy of Country Music Honors event in Nashville, Tennessee, on Wednesday.

“I actually wrote one just recently that’s pretty, it’s almost a little savage,” the 27-year-old singer told ET‘s Sophie Schillaci. “Yeah, it’s a little raw, emotionally. So, I’m like, I might have to throw that guy in there.”

The country singer and musician Rian Dawson called it quits after seven years together.

Pope also said that she’s been going through some “very personal” changes in her life, and that she’s used those experiences to inspire her new music.

“It was one of those sessions where I was like, ‘I can’t write about anything else today. I have to write this because it’s all I can think about and it’s been a hard day,'” she explained. “So I got it out in a song and it’s just such a… it was such a raw moment and I would love to incorporate that song into, like, this group that I’m gonna take around. So it’s just very symbolic and shows where I am in my life and that’s important to me.”

The Voice season 3 winner is embracing the solo life and her new creative energy, yet she confesses that it’s “super uncomfortable.”

“It’s super risky and weird, but it’s also really exciting,” she revealed. “I feel like the town is cheering me on, which is really cool. I’ve been in a lot of sessions. I’ve just been calling on a lot of friends and everybody’s been there for me. So it’s a weird time.”

Pope is currently busy on her upcoming album, which she’s been working on with producer Corey Crowder. She’s also excited about Taylor Swift’s forthcoming new album, which she announced on social media this week.

“I’m so excited,” Pope expressed. “[When I saw the album cover] I was freaking and squealing like a little girl. But I couldn’t help it! It was such a roll out. It was such a great surprise. She always delivers. So it’ll be good!”
