I\u2019m the luckiest girl in the world. I have the best team, the best family and friends, and now a billion streams on my first breakout song \u2026 that\u2019s the juiciest cherry on top.\u201d<\/p>\n Dasha released \u201cAustin (Boots Stop Workin\u2019)\u201d in November 2023. The song\u2019s success led to a record deal as well as her 2025 ACM Awards nomination for best new female artist, her performance at the 2025 Stagecoach Festival and her own 2024 world tour, Dashville, USA<\/em>.<\/p>\n After learning of her Spotify Billions Club<\/a> milestone, Dasha reflected on her country music breakthrough.<\/p>\n \u201cIt kind of feels like I\u2019m being pranked sometimes because this is my first hit song,\u201d she told People<\/a><\/em> in an interview published on Saturday, November 15. \u201cThis is my first moment, and I recognize how rare and f—ing insane this is. You don\u2019t usually get this for your first one.\u201d<\/p>\n She added: \u201cAll of a sudden, oh, my God, you have this huge song \u2026 it\u2019s so satisfying and it\u2019s so scary and it\u2019s just fun. It\u2019s crazy starting off my career with this as the first milestone. So it\u2019s big shoes to fill, but I\u2019m ready. I\u2019m excited for this.\u201d<\/p>\n Dasha described her quick ascent to stardom with \u201cAustin (Boots Stop Workin\u2019)\u201d as \u201cthe perfect storm.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s funny because I didn\u2019t even try to write a song that was the pop country smash of the year, but that was not my intention at all,\u201d she said. \u201cIt was just, I felt like I finally found my sound as an artist after writing songs for over 15 years because it takes so long.\u201d<\/p>\n This story was originally reported by Parade<\/a> on Nov 18, 2025, where it first appeared in the Celebs<\/a> section.
