  "account": "The latest musical guest on the CBS drama Fire Country was INK, whose mom made the special trip to the set. INK and her mom are both big fans of the show, so bringing her along was a natural choice. When INK filmed her appearance in Season 5, she got to meet the entire cast and they all loved her. Even those cast members who couldn't be there joined her via FaceTime. During her visit, INK performed two original songs, \"All I Got\" and \"American Reject,\" giving the firefighters at Station 42 a musical break after a tough day. She described the performance as tearing Smokey's off the bone. INK's new song is an anthem about the struggles and resilience of people across America. It's a powerful message that resonates with everyone. \"American Reject\" is now streaming on all major music platforms and will be available on Fire Country on Paramount+ this week.",
  "summary": "INK and her mom are longtime fans of Fire Country, so of course she tagged along for her daughter's appearance on the CBS drama. Read TVLine's full interview.",
