Priscilla Block is seeing her dreams come true, but with that success comes a life that gets busier and more hectic by the minute. These days, she finds herself making a more conscious effort to put her phone away and be fully present with the friends and family.

While being on stage, making music and connecting with fans is something that brings Block plenty of joy and fulfilment, she admits she feels the happiest in the slower moments.

“I feel like I’m at a point in my life where I’m truly living life to the fullest. Whenever I get the chance to slow down, I try to be fully present with my friends and family because that’s really what life is all about,” she shared in an interview with Nashville Lifestyles for its Nashville’s Most Beautiful People 2026 edition.

She knows how difficult it can be to truly disconnect when such a big part of her career involves maintaining a strong presence on social media. For Block, learning when to step away from the online world has become as equally important part of her daily life.

“Even though social media is a huge part of my job, I’ve been making a conscious effort to put my phone down and just be in the moment with the people I love. Those are the moments that matter most to me.”

These days, Block also finds that same sense of peace at home, where she can disconnect from the demands of her career. Although her outgoing personality may give fans the impression that she’s always ready to be out on the town and socializing surrounded by people, the truth is that she considers herself a “homebody” at heart.

“Honestly, when I’m off the road, I love slowing down. Give me cooking, cleaning, gardening, hunting, or just being at home, and I’m happy. I really crave a simple lifestyle away from the lights,” she adds.

Priscilla Block recently announced that she I stepping into a new chapter as an independent artist for the first time since 2020. To kick off this next era of her career, she dropped the perfect anthem for a girls night out, “Maybe Next Time, Honey!”

The playful, confident country track finds Block making it clear that she’s taken and has no intention of cheating during her night out at a bar. Her true intention was to hit the town with her girls to dance the night away, however she’s also not going to turn down a little harmless attention or a free drink before heading home.

This marks just the first taste of music fans will get to hear from the newly-independent artist. By taking this leap, Block hopes to reignite that spark and hopefulness that she had at 17 years old, before anyone knew her name.

“Y’all changed my life overnight because you believed in me and my music. I watched what we were able to do together in real time. I’ve watched y’all do it once, and I genuinely believe we can do it again. I leave this past chapter with nothing but love and gratitude for every person who raised their hand for me, fought for me, believed in me, and helped build this thing alongside me. I can walk away knowing I gave that chapter everything I had.”

“And now? I kinda feel like that girl again,” she added. “The girl who didn’t know exactly how she was going to do it. She just knew she was going to figure it out.”

Fans can catch Priscilla Block out on the road through November, with stops across the U.S.
