“There was just something special about that time,” the 52-year-old shared. “There was more personal interaction. You would meet up with someone and hang out at the mall. Sure, social media is great to stay in touch, but there was something about just getting together and having fun. That’s what I wanted to capture [in this song].”

“I love it still,” she mentioned about her cowl. “I thought it was a great thing I did. People were like, ‘She’s a one-hit wonder. She’s that little mall girl.’ And that completely blew their perception of who I was. It was an honor [Playboy] asked me [to pose] and I was very happy with the shoot. They made me feel amazing on set. I didn’t know what I was getting myself into, but I showed up that day and there was nothing awkward about it… I saw the photos and they looked beautiful.”

“I definitely dieted a lot for that [shoot],” she chuckled about her unfold. “I was in really good shape. So I will always look at that experience fondly.

But I converted them to actual music fans.”

“I came to Nashville for the first time when I was 10,” the California native defined. “I’ve been coming back ever since. I love being out in the country – I’m a country girl at heart. I’ve toured all over the world and this place has always been home for me. There’s just something about coming home to my little ranch… I’ve never looked back.”

Tiffany currently resides outside of Nashville, Tennessee, in a “rural small town.” Her son went to school in Kentucky the place he studied to be a structural engineer.
“Big cities are everywhere, but it’s that slow pace of life that I’ve been wanting for a long time,” she shared. “Home is about six and a half acres of just greenery and trees on a private road. That suits me. I work really hard when I’m on the road, but when I come back, I love to plant flowers, read books and just regroup… There are times when I go to LA and say, ‘I love the beach, I miss this.’ But give it three or four hours of traffic and that’s over.”

Tiffany said that leaving California has saved her grounded as an entertainer. She famous that Nashville gave her a voice – she needed to be extra than simply the 15-year-old who sang in purchasing malls. Whereas she tried to proceed making her mark within the “big city” referred to as Los Angeles, she in the end felt “miserable.”

“I’m always on the go, but it also felt really good to just have time off and be away from the city for a bit,” she mentioned. “I’m very family-oriented. I moved my sisters here from California. Slowly, I’ve been recruiting everybody to be here. And I can just be me here. I think I needed that.”
“How did I deal with fame so young? I just rolled with it, to be honest,” Tiffany continued. “I didn’t have any expectations… I was doing country music at age nine. So I’ve been pursuing music from a very early age. My dream was to be in front of a band. But I didn’t know what touring meant, what it meant to film music videos and all of that. And then, it just happened very quickly. It was an adventure… But I think it’s also the reason why I sought to have a home life and turn off fame. I wanted to be grounded. I just wanted to be a person.”

Tiffany admitted she struggled with being labeled a “one-hit wonder.”
“There were a lot of obstacles, definitely,” mentioned Tiffany. “You have this rise to fame. And then, all of a sudden, you’re labeled a one-hit wonder, and now you’re not needed anymore. It was hard. It’s taken a lot of belief in myself to keep pushing. It’s taken a lot of great people around me pushing me and believing in me… It sounds silly, but even six, seven years ago, people were like, ‘You can really sing.’ I was like, ‘I thought I showed this on my songs.’ Being on the road has given me the avenue to show that I am a performer… People don’t know what to expect when they come to my shows.”

“I was hoping to reach here maybe a little sooner, but you just keep going,” she continued. “And this is the only thing that I’ve ever wanted to do. There’s never been a plan B. I’m a lifer as a musician. So it’s been frustrating at times to [prove critics wrong]. But I think now I’ve turned a corner. I’m very proud.”

“I’m ready for new adventures,” Tiffany instructed Fox Information Digital. (Erika Wagner)
“The advice I would give my younger self is to be true to yourself,” she mentioned. “Sometimes people aren’t going to be happy with you when you say no, especially when you don’t know it all, but you have to live your life. You really have to want to do this. As long as you stay in that realm, then hopefully you will have a very long career. There will be highs, there will be lows. And like a lot of artists, you will get bummed out when you release something, and it’s not exactly no. 1, or it didn’t sell millions of copies like the first one… But is it good work? Are you proud of it? Is it something the fans like?”
“Every day was an adventure,” she mirrored. “It still is. But now I’m ready for new adventures.”
“Ladies of the ’80s: A Divas Christmas” premieres Dec. 2 at 8 p.m.
