Priscilla Block shared a vulnerable and honest statement with fans, letting them know that she is entering a new chapter of her career as an independent artist for the first time since 2020.
At 17 years old, Block had just graduated high school and made the move to Nashville with a dream and $50 to her name. Through years of hard work, determination and connecting with fans, she built a dedicated following and eventually found a home with MCA/Mercury Nashville and InDent Records.
For the past six years, Block has released music with the support of a record label, including her sophomore album, Things You Didn’t See, which arrived in October 2025. Now, she is embarking on a new path with plans to release music independently for the foreseeable future.
Being open and honest with her fans has always the core of Block’s career, whether she’s sharing glimpses of her life on social media, connecting with fans at shows or telling her story through her music. As she enters this next chapter, she is once again letting her supporters in on the journey.
“It’s always been important to me to keep it real with y’all. I’ve shared a lot over the years… maybe even too much at times, but that’s who I am. The wins, the losses, the highs and lows, and everything in between. Y’all have been such a huge part of this story, and if sharing where I am can inspire somebody else to own where they are, then it’s worth sharing,” she began in her statement on Instagram.
Through a carousel of posts, the North Carolina native admitted she is “really proud” to say that this will be her first time sharing new music independently since her breakout release, “Just About Over You” in August of 2020.
“I knew this was a decision I needed to make, but when I say it was one of the hardest decisions I’ve made in my career, I don’t say that lightly. I found myself at a crossroads. I could keep waiting and hoping things would change, or I could fully bet on myself, my music, and the people who have been betting on me since the beginning,” she continued. “Y’all know confidence hasn’t ever really been something I’ve lacked. But if I’m being fully honest, somewhere along the way I started losing some of it.”
Block says she got to a point where she eventually had to ask herself, “why am I waiting for somebody else to believe in something I already believe in?”
Her goal with taking this step is to find that spark and hopefulness that she had at 17 years old, before anyone knew her name, because that girl believed in herself. This time around things will look different because not only will she regain that confidence, but she will have the fans already in her corner.
“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,” Block 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.”
The “Good On You” singer revealed she is currently in the midst of writing what she believes is some of her best music yet because of the fact that she is feeling “fired up, inspired, and ready for what’s next.”
While there is some uncertainty in this chapter, she is putting her faith in God and trusting her gut, her team and the fans to help her through.
“I’m fully betting on myself again. Does that scare me sometimes? Absolutely. But sometimes the things that scare you the most are the exact things you’re supposed to do. So here we go! Independent. Grateful. & Hungry…And ready to do it all over again,” she wrote in conclusion.

The Lindsay Clancy mistrial has resulted in endless debate and numerous hot takes across social media.
But perhaps no public figure has responded to the situation with such violent vitriol as Congresswoman Nancy Mace.
Speaking with TMZ outside the Capitol Building on Monday, Mace called for Clancy to be publicly executed as a “warning to women everywhere.”
“Her children are dead, she should be dead too,” Mace told the outlet.
In response to the interviewer’s obvious shock, Mace pressed on.
“She should get the death penalty. It should be public. It should be a public execution,” the South Carolina representative continued, adding that Clancy “deserves nothing less.”
“It could be by firearm, it could be electric chair, I don’t really care,” the lawmaker added. “She’s a serial killer.”
Mace concluded her remarks by noting that the public execution would serve as a “warning to women everywhere — you don’t kill your kids.”
Mace, of course, is not the first politician to lash out at Clancy.
In a recent interview, Senator Ted Cruz compared Clancy to O.J. Simpson and referred to her a “monster mother.”
“This is the modern version of the O.J. Simpson trial,” Cruz told Newsmax last week.
“In this instance, there is no dispute that this monster of a mother murdered all three children … and didn’t just murder them — slowly, deliberately, systematically used exercise bands to strangle the life out one after the other after the other.”
Clancy’s outspoken attorney, Kevin Reddington, was quick to respond to his remarks.
“Senator Cruz, you, sir, are despicable. You clearly do not come close to understanding the basic concept of postpartum psychosis. Quite frankly, that is not surprising,” he said.
Ironically, President Donald Trump was much more measured in his own remarks about the case.
“It’s a very sad situation,” Trump told reporters Sunday. “I certainly heard that, but look, it’s very sad. There is no winner there. There’s no win no matter what you do. Three children are dead.”
You know you’ve gone off the rails when Trump’s comments look rational and reasonable by comparison.
Of course, the president doesn’t have to worry about re-election … we think.

Meghan Markle is wishing Prince Harry a very happy birthday!
The Duke of Sussex is marking his first birthday on British soil in years.
To celebrate, Meghan shared a beautiful tribute, gushing over her husband and what an amazing father he is.
The post included plenty of photos of him with their children, Archie and Lilibet. So cute!
Meghan Markle is wishing Prince Harry a very happy birthday!
Tuesday, September 15, is Prince Harry’s birthday.
The Duke of Sussex is now 42 years old.
This week marks the first time that he has celebrated his birthday on British soil in years, as far as anyone is aware.
In September of 2022, Queen Elizabeth II had only recently died, and her favorite grandson spent some time in the UK despite the way that certain family members excluded him from her final moments.
This time, however, the family is not in a state of grief. In fact, Meghan Markle seems downright celebratory.
On Instagram, Meghan Markle honored Prince Harry on his 42nd birthday with a tribute.
She shared an array of photos, showing the two of them kissing.
We also saw a bunch of photos of Harry with their children, Archie and Lilibet.
One snap even shows the family dog, Pula, following the trio.
Meghan captioned: “He’s simply the best. Happy birthday, my love.” She included a red heart emoji.
How will returning to the UK change their happy family?
It appears that these photos that Meghan Markle shared of Prince Harry and their children were taken across a span of months.
Were some taken in Montecito? Probably. Were some taken in England? Probably.
Others, as various fans have pointed out on social media, appear to have been snapped along the East Coast.
It remains very likely that we do not always know when or where Harry, Meghan, and their kids are on vacation.
That is for the best. However, it’s unclear how long their ability to avoid the spotlight will last now that they are back in the UK.
It is widely believed that Meghan and Harry have returned to a country that seems to despise them due to King Charles’ poor health.
(Remember, in the US, most people don’t think of British royals, and most of those who do think that Meghan and Harry are just fine — their Netflix stuff has decent reviews, her jam and stuff sells well, etc.)
This is a hefty sacrifice. But their visit with him reportedly went well in July.
It seems that Harry and Meghan are willing to grin and bear being in the UK, where tabloids are churning out nonsensical smears, so that their kids can know their grandfather.
There’s no sign of Harry reconciling with his brother, however. When Peggy takes the throne, they’re likely headed back home.
