Once, right before a show, I realized I'd forgotten shoes. I didn't want to wear my flip-flops onstage because I could trip. I ended up going barefoot, which actually worked out because it became my 'thing.' Brittany Howard barefootendflip share on social
I once had this massacred afro in third grade. Parts were bigger than others. It was just terrible. Brittany Howard afrobiggrade Change image and share on social
I drink a ton of water a day and try to get as much sleep as possible. Sleep is the best way to restore your health. Never skip on sleep; it's crazy important. Brittany Howard crazydaydrink Change image and share on social
I probably bring four dresses on the road and rotate those. I always wear something light when I go onstage because I move around a whole lot. It's a sweaty business. Brittany Howard bringbusinessdress Change image and share on social
For my band's debut tour in 2011, we road-tripped across the country in a 15-passenger van. It was the first time I'd left Alabama. I drove through scenery I'd only ever seen in calendars: auburn leaves falling in Vermont, the sun setting over purple mountains in Arizona. It was incredible.

A song like 'Heartbreaker,' it's a song about learning - it's not necessarily a song about heartbreak. It's more than that. We write those songs to relive how we got over something. Brittany Howard heartbreakheartbreakerlearn Change image and share on social
Where I'm from, we don't do the kiss-on-the-cheek thing. Sometimes we can feel a bit awkward in England. Someone needs to let me know what the rules are because I don't want to be rude. I need a little more etiquette coaching. Brittany Howard awkwardbitecheek share on social
Contacts would bother me. I'm just not that used to them. I think glasses are a great accessory. Brittany Howard accessorybothercontact Change image and share on social
I love Jimi Hendrix obviously, and Jimmy Page and Prince. And also Elvis Presley is a really great guitar player. I don't think he ever took lessons; he was piecing it together himself. But he has great rhythm. And rhythm, to me, you can use it to your advantage if you're not all over the fretboard. Brittany Howard advantageelvisfretboard share on social
