Dallas native and former Miss USA Tara Conner is a contestant on the new season of CMT’s Gone Country, which premieres Saturday night. She and other celebrity contestants will compete to write a country song for the show’s host, John Rich. She tells Access Hollywood about the lows she hit during her drug-use scandal and before her stint in rehab. She’s better now:
“I feel so much [now],” she said. “When it hurts, it hurts really bad but when it feels good, it feels good!”
Add a half-empty bottle of Beam, a beat-down pick-up truck, and a dog that don’t know its name no more and you’re on your way, Tara.
