This week, S.E. sits down with Chely Wright, an award-winning country music artist, activist, and author to discuss her multifaceted career and personal journey. Before they get into the emotional and professional challenges Wright faced as a closeted gay woman in the country music industry, S.E. asks Chely her thoughts on some big news (from Beyonce to Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban) that has come out of the country music industry of late. They also talk about Chely’s trailblazing reputation, what happens behind the scenes when you take risks, and whether the industry is evolving. And stay for a very country lighting round!

S.E. Cupp needs a break -- from the news, from politics, from the triggering headlines and heated discussions … from the mental load of it all. Off the Cupp is just that. It’s a place to get loose and personal, to talk about what’s going on in our lives - beyond (and, yes, maybe because of) the news. Through a lens of mental health, S.E. invites her famous guests — celebrities, athletes, authors, journalists, politicians, reality stars — to share their life stories, their trials and tribulations and to talk about what it’s like living in this world, even when this world can feel like a lot.
