Hally Cooper (Cooper Alan): Fashion, Faith, and the Nashville Grind

from Married to the Music with Hanley Riggs · host iHeartPodcasts

Hally Cooper, the wife of Cooper Alan, joins Married to the Music for a real behind-the-scenes conversation about growing up in Winston-Salem, North Carolina and what it actually looks like building a life in Nashville when your partner is chasing the dream. Hally talks about being the “chatty kid” growing up, studying fashion textiles at NC State, and how a summer internship in New York City helped her realize what she didn’t want and pushed her to rethink her path. She also opens up about the early Nashville reality check. The Broadway grind, long nights, and the not-so-glamorous side of the industry that people don’t always see. Hally shares how faith and routine helped keep them grounded through those early years. Plus, we talk about what life is really like on a tour bus as the only girl, why Cooper isn’t actually a big social media guy, and the funny story behind the whole “Cooper” name confusion. And of course we get into the baby news, including their sweet Opry cupcake gender reveal and getting ready to welcome their daughter.
