[ Cheers and applause ] Now, this song is the title of my record and the tour that we've been on, but it was just a really humbling last few years as humans, and I was also touched by that.

I had my son at the very beginning of COVID, and then all touring got canceled, so it was just a lot of new things for me -- motherhood, not being able to tour, and just kind of finding an identity outside of music.

And anyways, it's a journey, and it's gonna be one forever, but this is how I got humbled.

And this is called "Humble Quest."

This is a huge honor, to be finally playing this.

I grew up watching this.

So I'm not gonna cry.

So the day I found out I was pregnant, I was going to a co-write with the Love Junkies, which are Lori McKenna, Hillary Lindsey, and Liz Rose, and they're all amazing songwriters on their own, but then when they write as a trio, they're called the Love Junkies.

But they're also all three mothers, and it was just such fate that I got to write with them the day that I found out I was having my son.

And so we wrote this song.

And my son's not here, but Annie is, like, very pregnant.

Yeah, she's 32 weeks today.

[ Cheers and applause ] My God.

Like, by the time this airs, he'll be here.

Yeah.

But I kind of just dedicate this to her son, because he's on stage with us every night when I sing this.

This is called "Hummingbird."
