• When asked what her older brothers think of her success, Lila candidly told a TV interviewer on Good Morning America that "they still think I'm a dork."
  
  
• Being a country music star and high school cheerleader puts Lila McCann in some pretty strange situations. After a 1998 cheerleader camp, Lila found herself sitting on a bus talking to a fellow cheerleader when the girl said, "You know what? You look just like Lila McCann." Lila politely thanked the girl but didn't spill the beans. As the conversation spread through the bus, Lila was found out by some of the other cheerleaders but the first girl didn't believe her. Lila even tried singing for her, but was unable to convince the girl of her true identity!
  
  
• Lila received a Harley Davidson for her 16th birthday!

Lila used to sing with her father's country band. Two weeks before her fifth birthday, Lila said that she wanted to sing a song. They decided on "You Are My Sunshine", but right before Lila was about to go sing, she panicked and hid in the bathroom. Lila's mom came to the bathroom door asking Lila to come out. After much back-and-forth arguing, Lila's mother finally asked "Lila, what do I have to do to get you to come out and sing?" Well, there just happened to be a new Barbie that Lila wanted, so she struck a deal with her mom. Her mom got her to sing, Lila got her Barbie!
