A few weeks later, Rara puts out her first country album titled Rara: Back in the Saddle-A Country Album. Within the week, the song "I'm Gonna Be a Country Star" is atop the music charts alongside her other new song, "Country Barbie Doll" as well as her first song ever, "Equestria the Land I Love". Rara couldn't be prouder of herself and neither could her bo. 

In the weeks following, Rara goes on to have several country music concerts that get a huge, overly positive reception. Rara can't help but smile as she sings and as she signs merchandise over the show. Her turn around is going a lot better than she thought. Even that weekend, she gets a visit from Applejack who congratulates her with a smile. The two then go out for lunch and they even write a duet together. They then perform it at one of her concerts the following day. AJ is glad to be helping her friend create a new image in the Equestria music scene and Rara couldn't be more thankful to have her best friend's help.

That evening back at her apartment, Rara flops down on her couch and undos her mane and lets it down. She then falls fast asleep. She's worn out from all the concerts and happily welcomes the much needed rest. Tomorrow, she's got another concert. Until then, though, she can sleep in peace, happily knowing she's made a complete three sixty in her music career and to her, that's the best feeling in the world.
