News’Ryan Seacrest about her plans for the coming year, saying, “I think I’m gonna enjoy a little time with my family and then start writing, maybe, and just seeing what I’m ready to do. I don’t know. There’s no real plans.”

Being home off the road, every time we go home for a little short 24, 48-hour stints, I just drop stuff off and leave again. And now I’m trying to make sense of life.”
