Cassadee Pope Net Worth $4 Million
Pope attended Wellington High School in Wellington, Florida, where she and her friend, the guitarist Mike Gentile, formed a band called Blake, after her middle name. However, the duo disbanded before even getting a label, but went on to form another pop punk band in 2008, called Hey Monday, along with Alex Lipshaw, Michael Moriarty and Elliot James. After signing with the Decaydance label owned by Pete Wentz from Fall Out Boy, and with Columbia Records, their first studio album “Hold on Tight” came out that year, and meanwhile Pope appeared in Fall Out Boy’s music video for their song “America’s Suitehearts”. She also provided guest vocals and appeared in the music video for The Cab’s cover of their song “Take My Hand”. Hey Monday’s second album “Beneath It All” followed in 2010, hitting #25 on Billboard Hot 200 chart. The same year the band released their “Christmas EP”, then taking an indefinite hiatus shortly after. Pope’s net worth was still rising.
Cassadee went on to pursue a solo career, releasing her debut self-titled EP in 2012, then the same year she auditioned for the third season of the popular singing competition “The Voice”, choosing country singer Blake Shelton to be her coach. Her performances of “Over You”, co-written by Shelton and Sarah Buxton’s “Stupid Boy” took the first place in the iTunes chart. Pope became the only female contestant to reach the Top 4 round and the show’s first female winner. Winning the competition shot the young singer to fame, and significantly added to her net worth.
Following her win, a compilation of Pope’s performances – “The Complete Season 3 Collection” – came out, hitting #1 on the Heatseekers and selling almost 20,000 copies in the first week.
Not long after, Pope signed with country music label Republic Nashville. “Wasting All These Tears”, the lead single of her solo album “Frame by Frame” came out in 2013, reaching #37 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #7 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, with sales of 125,000 copies in the first week and was eventually certified platinum. The album came out later that year, reaching #9 on the Billboard 200 and #1 on the Top Country Albums chart. All added to her wealth.
The following year saw Pope on the road, opening shows for country singers Tim McGraw and Dierks Bentley. She also covered “The Animal In Me”, on the “Nashville Outlaws: A Tribute to Mötley Crüe” album, featuring covers of Mötley Crüe’s songs performed by various country singers.
“I Am Invincible”, the lead single of her upcoming album, was released in 2015. Although the song failed to make it to the charts, her 2016 duet with Chris Young, “Think of You”, hit #1 on the Country Airplay chart and was certified gold. Pope’s most recent project was the EP called “Summer”, released in mid-2016. The title track soon came out as the EP’s lead single, reaching #55 on Country Airplay. Not long after, Pope sang the USA national anthem “The Star-Spangled Banner” before the Brickyard 400 NASCAR race in Indianapolis.
When it comes to her private life, Pope has been dating All Time Low’s drummer Robert Dawson since 2009.
